Su Gente indipendente di Halldór Laxness
Creators: name: Giunta, Claudio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Tra gli ingredienti che formano la vita umana, Michael Oakeshott distingueva i processi dalle pratiche. I processi li governa la natura: la nascita, l’invecchiamento, le malattie, la morte, i terremoti, la pioggia, la forza di gravità. Gli esseri umani possono cercare di influenzarli, di difendersi da loro, ma per lo più li subiscono, e nessuno ne è esente. Le pratiche risultano dalle decisioni e dalle azioni degli esseri umani: l’amore, l’amicizia, l’odio, l’invidia, la vendetta, il perdono. Posta questa distinzione di massima, è chiaro che il romanzo è soprattutto una riflessione sulle pratiche, cioè su ciò che è proprio di un particolare essere umano o gruppo umano, distinto da ogni altro, e sulle relazioni che tra gli umani si intrecciano: i processi naturali fanno da sfondo. Nella Morte di Ivan Il’ic di Tolstoj, poniamo, lo sfondo – la naturalissima morte di Ivan Il’ic, uguale a tutte le altre morti – è importante, ma lo è di più il modo in cui Ivan Il’ic ha vissuto la sua vita insieme agli altri uomini, e quel modo rimanda a un insieme di pratiche. Gente indipendente di Halldór Laxness è un'eccezione. In Gente indipendente, infatti, la forza dei processi naturali è preponderante, imparagonabile a quella che ha in qualsiasi altro romanzo moderno; e quelle pratiche che risultano dall’interazione fra gli esseri umani, e che formano di solito l’impalcatura dei romanzi, hanno un ruolo secondario.

Hydrogen as transportation fuel - Danish & Scandinavian Activities
Creators: name: Sloth, Mikael
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: The need for a replacement of fossil fuels is of increasing importance. Onwards 2030 the world population will increase by 24% and the number of cars worldwide will increase by 50%. To supply this increase in energy consumption will take an increase of 66% in global oil production. Such an increase is challenging given the fact that oil production is in decline in 33 of the 48 largest oil producing countries, and for every barrel of oil found the world consumes two barrels. Hydrogen is internationally recognized as a long term solution for replacing gasoline and diesel in the transportation sector and a solution for balancing increasing future renewable energy input in the energy system. Even though hydrogen as transportation fuel is a long term solution the early demonstration and commercial introduction of hydrogen and fuel cell cars in the transportation sector will happen during the coming decade. Recent indication from fuel cell manufacturers and the car industry suggest that

description: Although helioseismology has been used as an effective tool for studying the physical mechanisms acting in most of the solar interior, the microscopic and dynamics of the deep core is still not well understood. Helioseismological anomalies may be partially resolved if the Sun captures light, non-annihilating dark matter particles, a currently discussed dark matter candidate that is motivated by recent direct detection limits. Once trapped, such particles (4-10 GeV) naturally fill the solar core. With the use of a well-defined stellar evolution code that takes into account an accurate description of the capture of dark matter particles by the Sun, we investigate the impact of such particles in its inner core. Even a relatively small amount of dark matter particles in the solar core will leave an imprint on the absolute frequency values of gravity modes, as well as the equidistant spacing between modes of the same degree. The period separation for gravity modes could reveal changes of up to 3% for annihilating dark matter and of up to 20% for non-annihilating dark matter. This effect is most pronounced in the case of the gravity dipole (l=1) modes.

Creators: name: Marfè, Luigi
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Poesia e prosa, da almeno un secolo e mezzo, non smettono di intrecciare i propri confini. Metterne in discussione l’eterogeneità, tuttavia, per lungo tempo ha suscitato quanto meno diffidenza. Del resto, se mai fosse possibile, nel mare magnum delle forme letterarie, identificare delle frontiere condivise, forse la più palese e intuitiva parrebbe essere proprio questa: ciò che è scritto in versi non è scritto in prosa e viceversa. Mescolare i confini tra poesia e prosa rischierebbe allora di porre in dubbio anche altre frontiere della critica, in gran parte meno immediate e apparentemente solide. Forse anche per questo, tradizionalmente, la differenza tra poesia e prosa era definita, prima ancora che da motivi di ordine estetico, su una base gerarchica: si trattava di dimensioni ritenute costituzionalmente diverse, incommensurabili.

Alessio Baldini, Dipingere coi colori adatti. «I Malavoglia» e il romanzo moderno
Creators: name: Pellini, Pierluigi
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Nell’Introduzione a Verga moderno (Roma-­‐‑Bari, Laterza, 2005), Romano Luperini scrive che «la fortuna di Verga si lega sempre a momenti di forte tensione teorica e anche ideale e politica». E aggiunge che «un segnale del degrado culturale» dell’Italia contemporanea è la tendenza «a vivere la polemica letteraria come un’offesa personale». L’auspicio è duplice: da un lato una ripresa di studi non stancamente micro-­‐‑filologici sull’autore dei Malavoglia; dall’altro un confronto intellettuale fra studiosi che rifugga dal «salamelecco accademico». Un giovane ricercatore di scuola senese (ora “cervello in fuga” in Gran Bretagna), Alessio Baldini, con una monografia che coniuga minuta explication de textes e coraggiosa generalizzazione teorica, assolve ottimamente il primo compito. Provo a incaricarmi del secondo: non lo farei, se il mio giudizio sull’importanza del libro non fosse decisamente positivo.

description: In their calculations based on the Landauer transport equation, Akguc and Gong [Phys. Rev. B 80, 195408 (2009)] obtained an expression for the heat conductance of a quantum wire valid in the ballistic regime and in the limit of vanishing temperature difference between reservoirs. Their result appears to be different from the one reported in the previous paper of Rego and Kirczenow [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 232 (1998)], which led them to argue that their new result was the correct one. We show here that, in fact, both results are correct since different definitions for the dilogarithm function were used in those papers. Hence, comparisons between these two results should be done with care.

Enhancing iNetTest by Improving the Programming Question and Group Grading
Creators: name: Dosi, Sushil
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This report describes an improvement to the Utah State University iNetTest testing system. The iNetTest system allows instructors and/or students to: • Create/take tests with rich sets of question types (multiple choice, essay, true/false, computational programming question, etc.); • Monitor the test takers for cheating; • Auto-grade for many types of questions, as well as group grade for all question types; and • Send scores to students via either email or SMS. Specifically, this report discusses the design and development of an improved computational programming question for the iNetTest system. For programming questions, iNetTest allows for the use of various programming languages including some scripting languages. The improved system makes grading faster and more straightforward by assessing all students’ answers automatically. All enhancements described herein improve iNetTest’s functionality and implement new security layers that protect against the misuse of features and/or functionality.
This report also describes the layered architecture used to build the iNetTest system, including several new technologies, such as Ajax[4] and JavaScript Frameworks[5]. MVC frameworks[1] and socket programming[10] are also discussed and compared. Finally, this report discusses how the system was tested and projects future enhancements to the system.

Guided Reading and Needs-Based Instruction: A Comparison Study
Creators: name: Henriksen, Brooke Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Small group instruction is an important part of elementary literacy programs. Methods for forming small groups have often centered on ability level. However, grouping students by ability can have negative effects on students most at risk for failure. It was proposed that a method for forming small groups based on skill or strategy needs rather than ability level may have positive effects on student learning. During this study reading growth data in one first grade teacher’s class was compared from 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years in which leveled ability groups was used to the 2010-11 school year when the experimental needs-based groups were implemented. The expected outcome was that students who were grouped by need would experience more consistent growth throughout the first two testing periods than students grouped by ability and that they would show flexible use of reading skills and strategies. Student data shows positive effects for some students at risk of failure but no statistically significant effect on student growth. Teacher notes provide some insights into possible effects on student use of strategies.

Report on Advances in the Field of Artificial Intelligence Attributed to CAPTCHA
Creators: name: Schow, Craig M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: A CAPTCHA is a specialized human interaction proof that exploits gaps between human and computer recognition abilities. By design, the hardness of a CAPTCHA is based on the difficulty of advancing the underlying artificial intelligence [AI] technology to a level that eliminates any exploitable gap. Due to this fact computer scientists have concluded that the widespread use of CAPTCHA would accelerate research in the underlying fields of AI eventually leading to near-­‐human capabilities in certain AI systems. Despite these predictions no attempt has been made to identify advances in AI which can be attributed to the use of CAPTCHA.
The goal of this report is to explore the concept of CAPTCHA as a catalyst for advancement in AI. As part of this goal I examine the underlying basis for expected contributions, provide direct examples of documented advancements that have already been made, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the CAPTCHA model and based on the results identify specific areas of AI most likely to benefit from CAPTCHA in the future.
As a result of my research I have found that some advancement has been made as a result of CAPTCHA, but due to weaknesses in many CAPTCHA implementations these advancements have been limited and have often fallen short of expectations. As many of these weaknesses have been identified new methods of implementation have been introduced, but many of these have limitations as well. As part of the exploration of these challenges I have provided a basis that will allow for a more accurate understanding of the processes involved, and allow others to continue to build on the work which has already been done.

These problems turn out to be closely connected and even, in a sense, equivalent. The new approach based on the factorizations allows us to answer a number of challenging questions about truncated Toeplitz operators posed by Donald Sarason.

description: With the mutual consent to use WSDL (Web Service Description Language) to describe web service interfaces and SOAP as the basic communication protocol, the cornerstone for web service-oriented architecture (WSOA) has been established. Considering the momentum observable by the growing number of specifications in the web service domain for the indispensable cross-cutting concern of identity management (IdM) it is still an open issue how a WSOA-aware IdM architecture is built and how it is linked with WSOAs main elements, the web services providing functional core concerns. In this paper we present an access control model for WSOA and a blueprint of a WSOA-aware authorization verification service which is part of the IdM architecture. We show the integration of this service with WSOA consisting of both basic and composite web services. Our solution has been tested and evaluated in an implementation case study.

description: Low-rank matrix recovery addresses the problem of recovering an unknown low-rank matrix from few linear measurements. Nuclear-norm minimization is a tractible approach with a recent surge of strong theoretical backing. Analagous to the theory of compressed sensing, these results have required random measurements. For example, m >= Cnr Gaussian measurements are sufficient to recover any rank-r n x n matrix with high probability. In this paper we address the theoretical question of how many measurements are needed via any method whatsoever --- tractible or not. We show that for a family of random measurement ensembles, m >= 4nr - 4r^2 measurements are sufficient to guarantee that no rank-2r matrix lies in the null space of the measurement operator with probability one. This is a necessary and sufficient condition to ensure uniform recovery of all rank-r matrices by rank minimization. Furthermore, this value of $m$ precisely matches the dimension of the manifold of all rank-2r matrices. We also prove that for a fixed rank-r matrix, m >= 2nr - r^2 + 1 random measurements are enough to guarantee recovery using rank minimization. These results give a benchmark to which we may compare the efficacy of nuclear-norm minimization.
Semantic Integration of Identity Data Repositories

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2007

description: With the continuously growing number of distributed and heterogeneous IT systems there is the need for structured and efficient identity management (IdM) processes. This implies that new users are created once and then the information is distributed to all applicable software systems same as if changes on existing user objects occur. The central issue is that there is no generally ac-cepted standard for handling this information distribution because each system has its own internal representation of this data. Our approach is to give a se-mantic definition of the digital user objects attributes to ease the mapping process of an abstract user object to the concrete instantiation of each software system. Therefore we created an ontology to define the mapping of users at-tributes as well as an architecture which enables the semantic integration of identity data repositories. Our solution has been tested in an implementation case study.
Closed-Loop Attitude Control Using Fluid Dynamic Vectoring on an Aerospike Nozzle
Creators: name: Erni, Nathan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Attitude control of a prototype satellite bus using fluid mechanical vectoring on an aerospike nozzle is demonstrated. The design achieves thrust vectoring by injecting propellant asymmetrically into the unconstrained aerospike exhaust plume near the nozzle base. The prototype system uses cold-gas thrusters to both spin-up and de-tumble the test article. The system is configured with axially directed annular flows that produce large longitudinal thrusts and smaller secondary lateral-injection flows for side thrusts. Both open and closed-loop attitude control, with and without main aerospike annular flow active, are demonstrated. Proportional, integral, derivative (PID) regulation is used for closed-loop attitude control. When the vectoring ports are operated with no primary plenum flow, very small impulse bits are generated. Based on the results presented in this paper, there exists a significant potential for three-degree of freedom (3-DOF) attitude control without mechanical nozzle gimbals. When extended to 3-DOF, the closed-loop control-law will allow the primary satellite propulsion system to be used for both larger-scale orbit change maneuvers and smaller-scale proximity operation maneuvers with the same system.
A pilot randomized trial of a novel intervention to promote physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis : protocol and baseline analysis from the TRACK-OA study
Creators: name: Clayton, Cam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Objectives: (1) Develop a protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a novel physical activity (PA) counseling intervention to increase bouted moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time (bout ≥ 10 minutes at ≥ 3 Metabolic Equivalents [METs]) and decrease bouted sedentary time (bout > 20 minutes at ≤ 1.5 METs) for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and (2) conduct a secondary baseline analysis to assess the relationships between a measure of patient engagement and bouted MVPA time, as well as bouted sedentary time. Methods: A protocol for a pilot RCT was developed and published. Feasibility objectives related to study processes, resources, management, and effectiveness were set. Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of knee OA or having experienced four weeks of knee symptoms during the last year, no inflammatory arthritis, and no contra-indications to being active. Patient engagement was measured with the Partners in Health Scale (PIH). MVPA and sedentary time were measured with the BodyMedia SenseWear Mini (SW). Knee OA status was assessed with the Knee injury and OA Outcome Score. Bivariate and stepwise regression analyses were performed to estimate the relationship between PIH and bouted MVPA/sedentary time. Results: Participants (female = 28, male = 6), were aged [mean (standard deviation [SD])] 55.5 (8.6) years, with a BMI of 27.2 (4.7) kg/m². The sample indicated a PIH of 24.4 (16.4), 53.9 (62.4) minutes of daily bouted MVPA, and 508.9 (178.9) minutes of bouted sedentary time. Regression analysis [b (standard error [SE]) where b indicates estimated regression coefficient] found log-transformed bouted MVPA was not associated with PIH, but was negatively associated with age, b = -0.042 (0.018; p < 0.01) and BMI, b = -0.15 (0.031; p < 0.001). Bouted sedentary time was not associated with PIH, but was positively associated with BMI, b = 27.47 (4.29; p < 0.001) and female sex, b = 156.01 (51.93; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patient engagement may not be associated with objectively-measured physical activity among people living with knee OA, methodological factors and a small sample size may have contributed to the findings. Further work is needed to clarify these relationships.

description: A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we present a bijective link between unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface and unicellular maps of a lower topological type, with distinguished vertices. From that we obtain a recurrence equation that leads to (new) explicit counting formulas for non-orientable unicellular maps of fixed topology. In particular, we give exact formulas for the precubic case (all vertices of degree 1 or 3), and asymptotic formulas for the general case, when the number of edges goes to infinity. Our strategy is inspired by recent results obtained by the second author for the orientable case, but significant novelties are introduced: in particular we construct an involution which, in some sense, "averages" the effects of non-orientability.
Identity as a Service - Towards a Service-Oriented Identity Management Architecture

description: Service-oriented architecture (SOA) will form the basis of future information systems. Web services are a promising way to implement SOA enabling the loose coupling of functionality at service interfaces. The focus in SOA changes from traditional software systems to reusable, business-relevant services. Considering the cross-cutting concern of identity management (IdM), it is still an open issue how to construct an SOA-aware IdM architecture enabling identity as a service and how to loosely couple the IdM services with SOAs core concern part. In this paper we present a blueprint for a service-oriented identity management architecture featuring interoperability by applying existing standards. Our solution has been tested and evaluated in an implementation case study.

description: We propose a new all-optical method to image individual atoms within dense atomic gases. The scheme exploits interaction induced shifts on highly polarizable excited states, which can be spatially resolved via an electromagnetically induced transparency resonance. We focus in particular on imaging strongly interacting many-body states of Rydberg atoms embedded in an ultracold gas of ground state atoms. Using a realistic model we show that it is possible to image individual impurity atoms with enhanced sensitivity and high resolution despite photon shot noise and atomic density fluctuations. This new imaging scheme is ideally suited to equilibrium and dynamical studies of complex many-body phenomena involving strongly interacting atoms. As an example we study blockade effects and correlations in the distribution of Rydberg atoms optically excited from a dense gas.

description: Models of rapidly rotating massive stars at low metallicities show significantly different evolution and higher metal yields compared to non-rotating stars. We estimate the spin-down time-scale of rapid rotating non-convective stars supporting an alpha-Omega dynamo. The magnetic dynamo gives rise to mass loss in a magnetically controlled stellar wind and hence stellar spin down owing to loss of angular momentum. The dynamo is maintained by strong horizontal rotation-driven turbulence which dominates over the Parker instability. We calculate the spin-down time-scale and find that it could be relatively short, a small fraction of the main-sequence lifetime. The spin-down time-scale decreases dramatically for higher surface rotations suggesting that rapid rotators may only exhibit such high surface velocities for a short time, only a small fraction of their main-sequence lifetime.

description: We report on the identification of a near-infrared counterpart to the massive (>11 Msun) binary companion of pulsar J1740-3052. An accurate celestial position of PSR J1740-3052 is determined from interferometric radio observations. Adaptive optics corrected near-infrared imaging observations show a counterpart at the interferometric position of the pulsar. The counterpart has Ks=15.87+-0.10 and J-Ks>0.83. Based on distance and absorption estimates from models of the Galactic electron and dust distributions these observed magnitudes are consistent with those of a main-sequence star as the binary companion. We argue that this counterpart is the binary companion to PSR J1740-3052 and thus rule out a stellar mass black hole as the pulsar companion.

Federica Ivaldi, Effetto rebound. Quando la letteratura imita il cinema
Creators: name: Maggitti, Vincenzo

description: Tornare a scrivere di "effetto rebound" tra cinema e letteratura, come dichiara il recente titolo del ricco volume di Federica Ivaldi, può costituire un’operazione critica palindroma, che fa scorrere in avanti il discorso, sempre più articolato, dei rapporti fra i due media, ma lo riporta anche indietro di alcune posizioni, nella ricerca di una perfetta grammatica dell’influenza che sacrifica la testualità multiforme in cui si esprime.

Trees in urban street canyons and their impact on the dispersion of automobile exhausts
Creators: name: Gromke, Christof

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2007

description: The aim of the present study is to clarify the influence of trees on the dispersion of automobile exhausts in urban street canyons. For this purpose, measurements have been performed with a small scale wind tunnel model of an idealized, isolated street canyon with model trees placed along the canyon center axis. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) was released from a line source embedded in the street surface, simulating vehicle exhaust emissions. The influence of various tree planting arrangements on the concentrations at the canyon walls was investigated with an approaching boundary layer flow perpendicular to the canyon axis. Increasing pollutant concentrations at the leeward wall and decreasing pollutant concentrations at the windward wall were found for increasing plant density. At the ends of the street canyon, i.e. towards the intersections, a remarkable relative increase of concentrations at both canyon walls was observed. The results indicate that due to tree planting, typical vortex structures observed in empty street canyons were either significantly weakened or no longer present.

Selected Projects in Costume Design
Creators: name: Beardall, Lindsay Anne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: I started my collegiate career as an art major in 2-D design with the intent that I would be an art director for an advertising agency. I took a costume construction class two years into my major and I promptly left 2-D design for costume design. Costume design is a wonderful combination of my love of art, history, sewing, drawing, design and creating. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to design four different shows during my time at Utah State University. During my time as a costume designer at Utah State University I designed costumes for four productions. In the four plays there were a total of almost 100 costumes designed. 16 were constructed in the costume shop and the rest were purchased, borrowed or pulled from our costume stock. I learned that skills are required when pulling costume pieces from stock. How the elements are combined can transform the piece and give it a new life. In each experience I have had the chance to help tell the stories of the characters on stage by dressing them in a way that they might dress themselves. What would the characters have in their closet? This challenge is one of my favorite aspects of costume design.

The Use of a Signal Device Self-Monitoring Program to Improve On-Task Behavior of Special and General Education Students
Creators: name: Allie, Casey L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Research has shown that self-monitoring can increase on- task behavior with students in the classroom setting. This project examined the use of a signal device to teach self monitoring to increase on-task behavior of special education students with behavioral problems. Participants were two elementary school para-educators and two K-4th grade students. During a two part process, baseline and intervention was conducted by the researcher with each student evaluating his/her on-task behavior. The researcher examined the reliability of the data on the student’s on-task behavior. The researcher found that the student’s on-task behavior increased with implementation of the signal device self-monitoring program. The implications from the success of this project for the use of self-monitoring programs to increase students’ on-task behavior are discussed.
Simple and Appropriate Methods for Household Water Treatment

description: Shortage of drinking water is the big challenge for Sudan. The cost of water treatment is the main reason for using untreated water for drinking purposes in many urban areas in Sudan. Water born‐diseases (diarrhea, typhoid, etc) are common and there are many victims in unimproved urban areas in Khartoum (Sudan) due to poor or the lack of treatment of drinking water.
In this work, a simple and appropriate method (sand filter) for household water treatment was tested and developed. The main objective of using this method is to help people in urban areas without access to treated water to improve drinking water quality individually. Experiments were run to improve design and operating conditions for removing turbidity by sand filtration. The lowest turbidity was found to be 8 NTU from initial turbidity 2100 NTU (99.6% removal).
Nile River water characteristics data were analyzed to understand water quality in Khartoum. The water quality data were obtained from Biwater Company LTD and compared with the WHO standards for drinking water. The major water quality problem was the high turbidity which is often correlated with high levels of pathogens and other water quality impairments. Monthly histograms for the period during August 2004 to August 2005 were done to characterized temporal patterns in turbidity. Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference test was used to discover that the only different between monthly averages was found to be during the Nile floods in Khartoum (July‐September).
Finally, the estimated sand filter cost and medical treatment expenses for water borne illness in Khartoum were compared. The medical expenses were found to be high compared to the sand filter cost. This leads to the potential for large physical and economic benefits, and improvement in these urban areas due to using this simple method of water treatment.

Assessing Phosphorus-Transport from Biosolids Land Application Sites in Utah
Creators: name: Kumar, Mohan K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Phosphorus Site Index (PSI) is a phosphorus transport assessment tool used to estimate the risk of P transport from soils. Various components, such as soil erosion, P fertilizer application rate, plant available P in soil, etc. that have an influence on P transport from a site, are weighted and given ratings, and a combination of these components are expressed as PSI. This study has considered two biosolids land application sites in Utah, which received biosolids amendments over time, to develop a specialized PSI for the state of Utah.
Phosphorus from land application of biosolids has been considered a potential risk to eutrophication. While EPA Part 503 Title 40 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) regulations mandate certain application practices, a more accurate tool is necessary to estimate P losses from biosolids land application sites.
The PSI for the two biosolids land application sites in Utah was calculated and the validity of their weighting factors and loss ratings were established. Erosion-Productivity Impact Calculator (EPIC) model was used to simulate P transport over these sites to further determine the accuracy of PSI. While application of the P-Index is not currently a regulatory requirement in Utah, increasing public and regulatory concerns have led to development of P-Index charts in various states, which can be used to estimate the potential risk of phosphorus mobility and environmental impact. Based on the validated PSI model, a PSI worksheet was developed in an easy to use form, covering recommended best management practices and methods of preventing P transport from soils, based on ranking of the PSI values.
