title: Filosofia della speranza? Le lezioni di Bloch su Kant
Creators: name: Failla , Mariannina
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2012

description: Il contributo discute alcuni temi trattati da Ernst Bloch nelle sue Lezioni su Kant. Al centro della scritto è posta la questione del rapporto tra soggetto e oggetto nella filosofia teoretica kantiana. Più che una subordinazione dell'oggetto al soggetto, nell'interpretazione blochiana della Critica della ragion pura, avverrebbe in realtà una oggettivazione della soggettività, la quale non può quindi instaurare alcun rapporto positivo con l'oggetto, ma un rapporto che si avvolge di un'atmosfera «spettrale», a dir poco oscura.

description: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a formidable challenge in delivering therapeutic agents to the central nervous system. Ultrasound-mediated BBB disruption has emerged as a promising non-invasive technique to enhance drug delivery to the brain. This manuscript reviews fundamental principles of ultrasound-based techniques and their mechanisms of action in temporarily permeabilizing the BBB. Clinical trials employing ultrasound for BBB disruption are discussed, summarizing diverse applications ranging from the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases to targeted drug delivery for brain tumors. The review also addresses safety considerations, outlining the current understanding of potential risks and mitigation strategies associated with ultrasound exposure, including real-time monitoring and assessment of treatment efficacy. Among the large number of studies, significant successes are highlighted thus providing perspective on the future direction of the field.
title: Elogio dell’in-decisione. La dialettica e la nascita
Creators: name: Fortunato , Marco

description: Il problema dell'indecisione, o in-decisione, può essere illuminato da una riconsiderazione della dialettica hegeliana, che una vulgata molto pervasiva e certo non priva di legittimità considera la principale scaturigine dell'attitudine violenta e dominatrice della cultura occidentale. Infatti, la dialettica sembra essere un'educazione all'in-decisione, alla duplicità-equanimità e all'ambivalenza, che è eo ipso educazione alla tolleranza e alla non-prepotenza.

The Extended Zel'dovich Mass Functions of Clusters and Isolated Clusters in the Presence of Primordial Non-Gaussianity

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We present new formulae for the mass functions of the clusters and the isolated clusters with non Gaussian initial conditions. For this study, we adopt the Extended Zel'dovich (EZL) model as a basic framework, focusing on the case of primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type whose degree is quantified by a single parameter $f_{nl}$. By making a quantitative comparison with the N-body results, we first demonstrate that the EZL formula with the constant values of three fitting parameters still works remarkably well for the local $f_{nl}$ case. We also modify the EZL formula to find an analytic expression for the mass function of isolated clusters which turns out to have only one fitting parameter other than the overall normalization factor and showed that the modified EZL formula with a constant value of the fitting parameter matches excellently the N-body results with various values of $f_{nl}$ at various redshifts. Given the simplicity of the generalized EZL formulae and their good agreements with the numerical results, we finally conclude that the EZL mass functions of the massive clusters and isolated clusters should be useful as an analytic guideline to constrain the scale dependence of the primordial non-Gaussianity of the local type.

S1. Original references of feeding strategies (table 1). from Rostrum morphology and feeding strategy of the baleen whale indicates that right whales and pygmy right whales became skimmers independently
Creators: name: Tanaka, Yoshihiro
Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Evolutionary Biology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Baleen whales have lost their functional teeth and begun to use their baleen plates to feed on small prey. Modern baleen whales exhibit different types of feeding strategies, such as lunging, skimming and so on. The evolution of feeding strategy in the Chaeomysticeti is an important step in considering niche partitioning and diversification, feeding efficiency and gigantism, and evolution and extinction. This study analyses the rostrum morphology to test the hypothesis that specific rostral morphologies facilitate special feeding strategies, using modern species and their observed feeding strategies. By this means, the convergence of rostral morphology can be recognized in the closest groups in the morphospace. As the result, the two linages (Balaenidae and Caperea marginata) are recognized to have convergent rostral morphology. In addition, an early member of the Chaeomysticeti, Yamatocetus canaliculatus and most of fossil species are plotted in or close to the cluster of lunge feeders. The original feeding strategy of the Chaeomysticeti could be similar to lunge feeding, than to skim feeding. Fossil relatives of the two linages showing transitional conditions indicate that they shifted to skim feeding independently. The evolution of the feeding strategy of the Chaeomysticeti is possibly more complex than that was thought.

description: High resolution Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) imaging with functionalized tips is well established, but a detailed understanding of the imaging mechanism is still missing. We present a numerical STM/AFM model, which takes into account the relaxation of the probe due to the tip-sample interaction. We demonstrate that the model is able to reproduce very well not only the experimental intra- and intermolecular contrasts, but also their evolution upon tip approach. At close distances, the simulations unveil a significant probe particle relaxation towards local minima of the interaction potential. This effect is responsible for the sharp sub-molecular resolution observed in AFM/STM experiments. In addition, we demonstrate that sharp apparent intermolecular bonds should not be interpreted as true hydrogen bonds, in the sense of representing areas of increased electron density. Instead they represent the ridge between two minima of the potential energy landscape due to neighbouring atoms.
Crisis bargaining, domestic politics and Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Year: 2024

description: How do domestic political considerations constrain or enable the initiation of interstate wars? We answer this question in the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. While prominent theories predict that domestic constraints reduce the likelihood of conflict, we show how structural features of Putin's regime rendered these concerns moot. Fighting was not likely to shift the domestic distribution of power favorably for Putin, although invading stood to enrich certain domestic groups and Putin himself. Instead, the invasion is more consistent with evidence that Putin perceived Ukraine to be bluffing, or expected fighting to yield pro-Russia shifts in Ukrainian domestic politics.

description: The most precise global geodetic reference frame, the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), is based on four space geodesy techniques: Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS) System. All four techniques complement each other with their observations for the terrestrial reference frames, because of the individual advantage: VLBI is unique for the Earth orientation parameters and the tie of ITRF to the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), SLR is strong in the determination of the centre of mass of the planet Earth and of the scale in the ITRF, GNSS is good for densification of global networks and of orientation and DORIS technique is unique in the most homogeneous global network of reference sites. In order to combine these advantages in a synergetic way, a co-location of these techniques in geodetic observatories is an objective for progress in global geodesy.
The question of how the desired co-location of DORIS at a VLBI site (or vice-versa) can be achieved is under permanent discussion. The VLBI systems are designed to receive extremely faint cosmic signals down to -110 dBm, whereas the DORIS beacon emits signals at a frequency of 2,036 MHz with 40 dBm output power. There is a potential for coupling between DORIS emissions and the VLBI receiving chain generating spurious signals. A risk of overloading or even damaging the VLBI low noise amplifiers (LNA) is possible. Even if in VLBI the same frequency is not being observed, in the worst case the LNA of the VLBI receiver could be saturated by DORIS transmission leading to useless VLBI observations.
Meanwhile, several geodetic observatories collected measurements, made studies, and even co-located active DORIS beacons. The CRAF-VGOS group presents a compatibility study in pycraf with simulations of exclusion zones for DORIS with respect to VGOS radio telescopes. It collates site-specific experiences and may be helpful for future decisions on how to co-locate both techniques at new sites.

Subjects: Gender

Development

description: Gender and sustainability are joined by twisting together in a logic and consequent way that only in the recent years has been commonly valorized. On the contrary, in the previous so-cieties it seemed that the process of economic and social development was counterposed to the female identities and roles and today the cultural inheritance is the identification of the gender as a discriminating factor for female and the other gender identities as those of the most vulnerable actors, together with young and old people. Nevertheless, as mentioned before, there is an institutional national and supranational acknowledgment and a growing common awareness on the necessity of the gender equality for the economic, social and cul-tural development, even defined in the UN 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. The outcomes of the exploration of the positive and negative dimensions of the gender im-plications for the development will be analysed in the perspective of the current definition of a new paradigm: its basic claim is that a stable economic growth and inclusive societies could be only if the female rights are protected and promoted.

description: We present a new implementation of the Monte Carlo method to simulate the evolution of star clusters. The major improvement with respect to the previously developed codes is the treatment of the external tidal field taking into account for both the loss of stars from the cluster boundary and the disk/bulge shocks. We provide recipes to handle with eccentric orbits in complex galactic potentials. The first calculations for stellar systems containing 21000 and 42000 equal-mass particles show good agreement with direct N-body simulations in terms of the evolution of both the enclosed mass and the Lagrangian radii provided that the mass-loss rate does not exceed a critical value.

description: The paper unveils « new reticular territories » implicitly defined in air transport networks. We describe an approach based on weighted graphs (induced from city to city air passenger traffic) from which we infer strongly connected components, themselves organized into sub-networks. The computation can be iterated within each component (or cluster) until each node or city appears as such in a component. The method leads to a multilevel presentation of the most connected cities in the world, underlining the necessary steps to go through when traveling worldwide, described as a path through the different levels and components. These components sometimes appear as being founded on spatial rules, but we also observed specialized subgroups emerging from economical or institutional logics such as partnership strategies. Our methods open new perspectives to study and represent networks or spatial interaction of cities systems at every level of geographical scale, from local to global.

Testing Many Zero Restrictions in a High Dimensional Linear Regression Setting
Creators: name: Hill, Jonathan B.
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2024

description: We propose a test of many zero parameter restrictions in a high dimensional linear iid regression model with k ≫ n regressors. The test statistic is formed by estimating key parameters one at a time based on many low dimension regression models with nuisance terms. The parsimoniously parameterized models identify whether the original parameter of interest is or is not zero. Estimating fixed low dimension sub-parameters ensures greater estimator accuracy, it does not require a sparsity assumption nor therefore a regularized estimator, it is computationally fast compared to, for example, de-biased Lasso, and using only the largest in a sequence of weighted estimators reduces test statistic complexity and therefore estimation error. We provide a parametric wild bootstrap for p-value computation, and prove the test is consistent and has nontrivial n/{ ln (n)Mn} -local-to-null power where Mn is the l∞ covariate fourth moment.

description: Thesis Abstract: Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), a specialization within additive manufacturing, is a high precision metal powder processing technique that has gained immense attentions in the past decade. The layer-by-layer densification technique provides a unique set of abilities that permits the large-scale production of geometrically complicated structures with highly tunable microstructures. Alloy 718 (718) is one of the most studied materials within the LPBF field due to its extraordinary printability. Although it has a significant industrial and academic focus, there are consequential questions that still need to be addressed because of the immense LPBF design space.Our works demonstrate the multiple pathways that an alloy system like 718 can be optimized for specific applications by altering the processing parameters or by the addition of oxide particles to create a fine dispersion for high temperature capabilities. Room temperature tensile testing revealed that the processing parameters directly controlled the mechanical properties, allowing tailoring of the tensile strength and elongation to the needs of specific applications. Similar experiments were conducted to exhibit the flexibility of LPBF by incorporating a wider, economic, bimodal powder size distribution that maintained similar mechanical properties. Additions of oxide particles enabled the findings of the reactive nature within this welding process, which ultimately led to a refined oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) 718 matrix with superior mechanical properties up to 900$^\circ$C. This novel metal matrix ceramic was lastly showcased by producing a complex microlattice structure. Detailed in-situ tensile tests in combination with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and finite element modeling revealed that crystallographic reorientation around bending nodes enhanced the global ductility of the material.

description: La ville de La Havane renvoie aujourd'hui à une double problématique. En tant que métropole cubaine, elle répond à des logiques similaires à celles qui sont à l'œuvre dans les autres métropoles du tiers-monde. Polycentrique, sa structure interne se caractérise par une différenciation spatiale entre, en premier lieu, les zones connectées au réseau international des métropoles mondiales, et en second lieu, les zones écartées de ces fonctions centrales. Du point de vue régional, la métropole cubaine peine à assumer ses charges de capitale, au même titre qu'elle ne parvient pas à satisfaire aux besoins de sa population en termes de services et d'infrastructure. Dans un même mouvement, la singularité de La Ciudad de La Habana se caractérise par la conservation remarquable de son cadre bâti qui a été épargné des ravages de la spéculation immobilière par l'idéologie ruraliste du régime. À l'heure actuelle toutefois, l'état de dégradation de ce patrimoine est alarmant et requiert un nouveau mode de gestion urbaine. C'est dans ce contexte que prend place le projet de L'Oficina del Historiador chargé de la réhabilitation patrimoniale du Centre Historique de La Havane. En tant que projet urbain, la démarche entreprise dans cette zone se réclame du concept de développement durable, une notion dont nous avons souhaité interroger la pertinence ainsi que la mise en œuvre au travers de l'examen approfondi de deux projets ponctuels. Cette investigation nous a permis de mettre le doigt sur les difficultés inhérentes à la mise en œuvre d'un projet urbain, telles l'ambiguïté du principe de participation, la difficulté à combiner les échelles et le jeu des différents acteurs ainsi que la difficulté de mettre en œuvre une action qui soit globale et intervienne de manière simultanée sur les champs du politique, du social, de l’économique, du cadre bâti ainsi que de la situation environnementale.
Restructuring and aging in a capillary suspension

description: The rheological properties of capillary suspensions, suspensions with small amounts of an added immiscible fluid, are dramatically altered with the addition of the secondary fluid. We investigate a capillary suspension to determine how the network ages and restructures at rest and under applied external shear deformation. The present work uses calcium carbonate suspended in silicone oil (11 % solids) with added water as a model system. Aging of capillary suspensions and their response to applied oscillatory shear is distinctly different from particulate gels dominated by the van der Waals forces. The suspensions dominated by the capillary force are very sensitive to oscillatory flow, with the linear viscoelastic regime ending at a deformation of only 0.1 % and demonstrating power-law aging behavior. This aging persists for long times at low deformations or for shorter times with a sudden decrease in the strength at higher deformations. This aging behavior suggests that the network is able to rearrange and even rupture. This same sensitivity is not demonstrated in shear flow where very high shear rates are required to rupture the agglomerates returning the apparent viscosity of capillary suspensions to the same viscosity as for the pure vdW suspension. A transitional region is also present at intermediate water contents wherein the material response depends very strongly on the type, strength, and duration of the external forcing.

The study was undertaken to stimulate thinking among research funders who have set up, or are considering setting up, mechanisms for direct “earmarked” funding ofarticle processing charges (APCs) in open access (OA) journals.The report covers both full OA journals (referred to in the report as “full OA”, such as those published by Biomed Central and PLOS) and subscription journals which offer authors the possibility of making their individual articles OA by paying an APC. This latter category is knownas “hybrid OA”.There are many full OA journals that are funded by means other than APCs and the term “gold OA” also includes these journals. When they are included in the discussion this will be make clear, the focus of the report is however on the segment of gold OA funded by APCs.

description: Ce mémoire analyse le concept de l’empreinte écologique au niveau local avec l’exemple de Genève, tout en incluant des réflexions relatives aux unités fonctionnelles pertinentes, aux limites de la méthode, à la fiabilité des données et aux indicateurs de développement durable. La méthode s’est basée sur la version la plus récente établie par le National Footprint Network avec une combinaison entre l’approche agrégée et l’approche par composants. Selon les calculs, qui expriment une vision conservatrice de l’impact humain sur l’environnement, la capacité biologique du canton de Genève serait de 0.262 hectares globaux par personne et son empreinte écologique atteindrait le chiffre de 5.5 gha/pers, en majeur partie due aux émissions de CO2. Si tout le monde avait ce rythme de consommation, il faudrait au moins 3 planètes pour subvenir aux besoins de la population. Cette étude a été analysée sous l’angle des Standards de l’empreinte écologique et n’y répond que partiellement. Une étude d’empreinte soumise aux Standards pourrait atteindre un haut degré de fiabilité et de comparabilité. Malgré ses incertitudes, l’empreinte écologique pourrait s’avérer un important outil pour les collectivités publiques, non seulement pour son pouvoir de communication aux citoyens, mais aussi dans un contexte décisionnel et de régulation. Et puisque les villes sont d’importants centres de consommation, une attention particulière devrait être donnée à cet indicateur à l’échelle locale au moment où d’importantes séries d’indicateurs locaux à niveau fédéral se mettent en place.

Ils sont le reflet d’une attente du public qui désire allier loisir et découverte en s’informant de plus en plus sur les chemins parcourus, leur contenu, leur passé, leur état actuel et leur devenir. Ces réalisations permettent de valoriser une région, de promouvoir les géosciences et de sensibiliser le public à la préservation du site en question. S’inscrivant dans le cadre du géotourisme, les sentiers géodidactiques sont de plus en plus nombreux. Cependant, la question qui reste en suspens est celle du feed-back. Les réalisateurs, qui sont souvent des géoscientifiques, concrétisent une offre sans savoir par la suite si elle a plu au public. L’analyse qualitative de l’appréciation du public par rapport à quatre réalisations situées en Valais (Salanfe, les gorges du Trient, la Combe de l’A, Tsanfleuron) permet aux différents réalisateurs de savoir si leur produit correspond à la demande du public. Nous pouvons ainsi avoir un aperçu minimal des effets positifs et négatifs de ce genre d’offres. Il est intéressant de découvrir que certains sentiers géodidactiques marquent plus les randonneurs et ont de ce fait un impact plus important. Le procédé top-down est ici plus performant, car une offre entièrement dirigée par le géoscientifique permet, selon cette étude, de faire passer un message soit sur les géosciences, soit sur la préservation du paysage minéral. Le public est alors plus réceptif et devient plus sensible à ces thématiques. Il est positif de constater que globalement les sentiers géodidactiques analysés correspondent en grande partie aux attentes du public et lui plaisent. Les différences selon les sentiers sont alors intéressantes à relever

description: Germanene, a graphene like single layer structure of Ge, has been shown to be stable and recently grown on Pt and Au substrates. We show that a Ge adatom adsorbed to germanene pushes down the host Ge atom underneath and forms a dumbbell structure. This exothermic process occurs spontaneously. The attractive dumbbell-dumbbell interaction favors high coverage of dumbbells. This letter heralds stable new phases of germanene, which are constructed from periodically repeating coverage of dumbbell structures and display diversity of electronic and magnetic properties.

Mapping the critical equation of state by resummations
Creators: name: Başar, Gökçe
Publisher: name: EDP Sciences
Year: 2024

description:  Determining the existence and the location of the QCD critical point remains a major goal in the heavy-ion collision experiments. A crucial theoretical input for achieving this goal is mapping the QCD equation of state in the presence of baryon chemical potential ( μ ) which at the moment is limited to small values of μ , away from the critical point. We present a new framework for reconstructing the equation of state from a truncated Taylor series expansion for small μ by using novel resummation techniques. We show how this resummation method can be used to (i) determine the location of the critical point and (ii) constrain the form of the critical contribution to the QCD equation of state which has a direct impact on the shape of the experimental signatures of the critical point. Using the recent lattice data from the HotQCD collaboration we estimate that  T c  ≈ 100 MeV,  μ c  ≈ 580 MeV, the crossover slope at the critical point α1 ≈ 9°, and further constrain the non-universal mapping parameters between the Ising model and QCD (scaling) equations of state.

description: La vallée du Drâa est un chapelet d'oasis situé au Sud-Est du Maroc. Le climat y est zone aride. Les ressources en eau sont donc rares et essentiellement dévolues à l'agriculture qui dépend totalement de l’irrigation. Le système traditionnel de partage de l’eau structure aujourd’hui encore le paysage et les relations entre agriculteurs. Un réseau moderne d’irrigation, alimenté par un barrage, s’est superposé à l’ancien, mais représente une gestion bien moins durable de la ressource. Mais, récemment, cette région a connu un important développement touristique, basé essentiellement sur la découverte du désert. Les hôtels se sont donc multipliés à Zagora, ville principale de la vallée. Or les besoins des touristes sont en très fort décalage par rapport à ceux de la population locale. Pour satisfaire les attentes de leurs clients, les hôtels consomment l’eau potable en abondance, mais exploitent également les aquifères. Les touristes, quoique très mal informés de la situation locale, sont généralement sensibles aux questions d'économie d'eau. Mais, dans l’ensemble, les hôteliers paraissent peu conscients de la rareté de la ressource. On constate notamment de nombreux usages abusifs de l’eau potable. De même, les clients ne trouvent pas dans l’établissement d’informations ou de consignes qui pourraient les amener à réduire quelque peu leur consommation. Les solutions proposées sont de deux types : tout d’abord une meilleure information des hôteliers sur les installations techniques et les usages qui permettent d’économiser l’eau ; d’autre part, des actions de sensibilisation ciblées sur les hôteliers et les touristes pour faire prendre conscience de la nécessité d’adapter la consommation d’eau aux conditions de la région

description: Hot subdwarf stars of spectral type B (sdBs) are evolved, core helium-burning objects. The formation of those objects is puzzling, because the progenitor star has to lose almost its entire hydrogen envelope in the red-giant phase. Binary interactions have been invoked, but single sdBs exist as well. We report the discovery of two close hot subdwarf binaries with small radial velocity amplitudes. Follow-up photometry revealed reflection effects originating from cool irradiated companions, but no eclipses. The lower mass limits for the companions of CPD-64$^{\circ}$481 ($0.048\,M_{\rm \odot}$) and PHL\,457 ($0.027\,M_{\rm \odot}$) are significantly below the stellar mass limit. Hence they could be brown dwarfs unless the inclination is unfavourable. Two very similar systems have already been reported. The probability that none of them is a brown dwarf is very small, 0.02%. Hence we provide further evidence that substellar companions with masses that low are able to eject a common envelope and form an sdB star. Furthermore, we find that the properties of the observed sample of hot subdwarfs in reflection effect binaries is consistent with a scenario where single sdBs can still be formed via common envelope events, but their low-mass substellar companions do not survive.

Origins of Deed Restrictions in the United States: The Case of Early-Nineteenth Century Boston
Creators: name: Whittemore, Andrew H.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines the context, precedents, contents, distribution, and socio-economic ramifications of deed restrictions in early-nineteenth century Boston, reviewing examples of restrictions’ use and a comprehensive survey of the 1800–1839 deeds of five grantors. It shows how Boston’s government and then private land developers began using deed restrictions in regards to building use, materials, height, and bulk in select geographies during this period. They did so to guarantee prestigious and stable home and work environments to wealthy consumers in the fast-changing urban context, in turn bringing into existence a prized and exclusive stratum of urban residential and commercial property.
title: Gesti e strumenti nell’evoluzione umana. Un’ipotesi cognitiva sull’origine del linguaggio
Creators: name: Adornetti , Ines
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2012

description: In questo lavoro analizziamo l'origine del linguaggio umano dal punto di vista della tradizione naturalistica darwiniana, vale a dire assumendo l'idea che il linguaggio sia in continuità con i sistemi comunicativi degli animali non umani. Il presupposto metodologico a fondamento del nostro lavoro è che l'origine del linguaggio debba essere tematizzata in riferimento all'origine e all'evoluzione della mente. Dal nostro punto di vista, il linguaggio poggia in modo fondamentale su sistemi cognitivi di natura non linguistica che ne permettono il funzionamento effettivo.

description: The transition towards electrification and greener technologies will see an unprecedented uptake in electrical machines, which will require machines with greater efficiencies to be designed and built. To achieve this a greater understanding of the magnetic materials is needed. It has long been known that the magnetic properties of materials are dramatically influenced by the operational conditions; frequency, temperature, and stress all play a significant role in determining the material's AC power loss and magnetic properties. As a consequence, there has been increasing industrial demand for representative material datasets. To facilitate this, the metrology and good practices associated with measurements made at operational conditions needs to be better defined to allow for future standardisation.
title: Mental clock. I fondamenti neurocognitivi della rappresentazione del tempo
Creators: name: Cosentino , Erica
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2012

description: Il punto di partenza del presente lavoro è la considerazione che il tempo sia un concetto dinamico. Ciò significa che possiamo cogliere la dimensione temporale solo attraverso il suo scorrere. In quest'ottica, il tempo è colto attraverso la successione degli eventi. La questione rilevante diventa allora quella di chiarire come sia possibile per gli esseri umani rappresentare eventi passati e futuri. Dal punto di vista adottato in questo scritto tale tema deve essere affrontato coniugando l'indagine teorica alle recenti acquisizioni delle scienze della mente contemporanee. Conformemente a ciò, esamineremo quali sono gli specifici meccanismi psicologici che consentono di ricordare il passato e proiettarsi mentalmente nel futuro.

Variants of the Kakeya problem over an algebraically closed field
Creators: name: Slavov, Kaloyan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: First, we study constructible subsets of $\A^n_k$ which contain a line in any direction. We classify the smallest such subsets in $\A^3$ of the type $R\cup\{g\neq 0\},$ where $g\in k[x_1,...,x_n]$ is irreducible of degree $d$, and $R\subset V(g)$ is closed. Next, we study subvarieties $X\subset\A^N$ for which the set of directions of lines contined in $X$ has the maximal possible dimension. These are variants of the Kakeya problem in an algebraic geometry context.

description: Faust (1994) is the first feature film directed by Jan Švankmajer after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and probably the most thorough summation of his ‘realized’ Surrealism, not based on the evocation of a dreamlike, nonsensical world but marked by “an evident political significance, a direct incisiveness of the individual on collectivity” (F. Pitassio). Švankmajer's reinterpretation of Doctor Faust’s myth, set in a present-day Prague, is a one-of-a-kind melange that blends different Faustian sources (Marlowe, Goethe, Gounod and the Puppenspiel tradition) in order to convey the director’s concerns about globalized societies, primarily addressing the process of disintegration of individual identities, the disqualification of corporeality and the subjugating power of media on reality. After introducing the main themes and motifs of Švankmajer's film aesthetics, the article focuses on the analysis of several sections of Faust, in an attempt to highlight its socio-political subtext.

description: Purpose: Moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD, stages III-IV) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD or CKD stage V) are known to be independent risk factors for fragility fracture. Altered bone and mineral metabolism contributes to greater complications and mortality rates in the setting of fractures, although most existing literature is limited to hip fractures. We hypothesized that patients with moderate-to-severe CKD or ESRD would have greater complication rates after surgical treatment of distal radius fractures compared with those without CKD.
Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients at a level 1 trauma center between 2008 and 2018 who had a diagnosis of stage III-IV CKD or ESRD at the time of operative fixation of a distal radius fracture. We recorded demographic data, comorbidities, and surgical complications. Data for readmissions within 90 days and 1-year mortality were collected. A 2:1 sex-matched control group without CKD who underwent distal radius fixation was selected for comparison, with age-adjusted analysis.
Results: A total of 32 patients with CKD (78.1% CKD stage III/IV, 21.9% ESRD) and 62 without CKD were identified. The mean age was 67 ± 12 years in the CKD group and 55 ± 15 years in the control group. The CKD group had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (5.7 vs 2.0). Surgical complication rate in the CKD group was 12.5% (12.0% CKD III/IV; 14.3% ESRD). Neither early nor late surgical complication rates were statistically different from those in patients without CKD. Reoperation rate as well as 30- and 90-day readmission rates were similar between groups. Overall, 1-year mortality was greater in the CKD group (9.4% vs 0%).
Conclusions: Surgical complications and readmission rates are similar in patients with and without CKD after distal radius fracture fixation. However, 1-year mortality rate is significantly higher after distal radius fixation in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD or ESRD.

Frequency-dependent damping in propagating slow magneto-acoustic waves

description: Propagating slow magneto-acoustic waves are often observed in polar plumes and active region fan loops. The observed periodicities of these waves range from a few minutes to few tens of minutes and their amplitudes were found to decay rapidly as they travel along the supporting structure. Previously, thermal conduction, compressive viscosity, radiation, density stratification, and area divergence, were identified to be some of the causes for change in the slow wave amplitude. Our recent studies indicate that the observed damping in these waves is frequency dependent. We used imaging data from SDO/AIA, to study this dependence in detail and for the first time from observations we attempted to deduce a quantitative relation between damping length and frequency of these oscillations. We developed a new analysis method to obtain this relation. The observed frequency dependence does not seem to agree with the current linear wave theory and it was found that the waves observed in the polar regions show a different dependence from those observed in the on-disk loop structures despite the similarity in their properties.
