Structural parameters and dynamics of lyotropic liquid crystalline phases in hydrated monolinolein
Creators: name: Tang, Tsing-Young Dora
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: To date, the stability of inverse bicontinuous cubic phases and the mechanism of lamellar to cubic transitions are poorly understood due to limited experimental resolution and reproducibility. Systematic experimental data is imperative for reasonable testing and verification of established theoretical models in this area. This thesis focuses on two aspects of lyotropic phase behaviour; the equilibrium behaviour of lyotropic liquid crystalline phases and the transitions between the equilibrium states. When monolinolein (ML) is mixed with water it forms a variety of inverse lyotropic phases, for example the lamellar, inverse bicontinuous phases (QII G and QII D) and the inverse hexagonal phase (HII) which makes this lipid an ideal candidate for study of these phases. The monolinolein equilibrium phase behaviour has been characterised as a function of pressure, temperature and hydration using SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering) and the data used to verify the existence of the pivotal surface in the QII G phase. Knowing the location of the pivotal surface allows one to calculate the total energy of these structures. The second part of this thesis discusses the kinetics of the lamellar to QII G transition in monolinolein under limited hydration conditions using the pressure jump time resolved X-ray diffraction technique. Lamellar to inverse bicontinuous cubic phase transitions are relevant to fundamental cellular processes such as membrane fusion and fission due to structural similarities of the mechanisms. The sequence of structural changes observed from kinetic experiments are discussed in relation to the Stalk Mechanism and the data analysed using a quantitative model.

description: We complete the formulation of the equations of motion of a non-Abelian gauge field coupled to fermions on a finite-element lattice in four space-time dimensions. This is accomplished by a straightforward iterative approach, in which successive interaction terms are added to the Dirac and Yang-Mills equations of motion, and to the field strength, in order to preserve lattice gauge invariance exactly, yielding a series in powers of $ghA$. Here $g$ is the coupling constant, $h$ is the lattice spacing, and $A$ is the gauge potential. Gauge transformations of the potentials are determined simultaneously. The interaction terms in the equations of motion are nonlocal, and can be expressed either by an iterative formula or by a difference equation. On the other hand, the field strength is locally constructed from the potentials in terms of a path-ordered product of exponentials.

description: We study the BELs in a sample of 11 gravitationally lensed quasars with at least two epochs of observation to identify intrinsic variability and to disentangle it from microlensing. To improve our statistical significance we also include 15 systems with single-epoch spectra. MgII and CIII] emission lines are only weakly affected by microlensing, but CIV shows strong microlensing in some cases, even for regions of the line core, associated with small projected velocities. However, excluding the strongly microlensed cases, there is a strikingly good match between the red wings of the CIV and CIII] profiles. Analysis of these results supports the existence of two regions in the BLR, one that is insensitive to microlensing (of size $\gtrsim$ 50 light-days and kinematics not confined to a plane) and another that shows up only when it is magnified by microlensing (of size of a few light-days, comparable to the accretion disk). Both regions can contribute in different proportions to the emission lines of different species and, within each line profile, to different velocity bins, all of which complicates detailed studies of the BLR based on microlensing size estimates. The strength of the microlensing indicates that some spectral features that make up the pseudo-continuum, such as the shelf-like feature at λ1610 or several FeIII blends, may in part arise from an inner region of the accretion disk. In the case of FeII, microlensing is strong in some blends but not in others. This opens up interesting possibilities to study quasar accretion disk kinematics.

description: Preparation of detailed night schedule prior to an observing run can be tedious, especially for solar system objects which coordinates are epoch-dependent. We aim at providing the community with a Web service compliant with Virtual Observatory (VO) standards, to create tables of observing conditions, together with airmass and sky charts, for an arbitrary list of targets. We take advantage of available VO services such as the SIMBAD astronomical database, the Aladin sky atlas, and the Miriade ephemerides generator to build a new service dedicated to the planning of observations. The requests for ephemerides charts and tables are handled by a VO-compliant Web service. For each date, and each target, coordinates in local and equatorial frames are computed, and used to select targets accordingly to user's criteria for visibility. This new service, dubbed ViSiON for Visibility Service for Observing Night, is a new method of Miriade Web service hosted at IMCCE. It allows anyone to create graphics of observing conditions and tables summarizing them, provided as PDF, VOTable, and xHTML documents.

description: The lack of energy conservation introduces new particle processes in curved spacetime that are forbidden in flat space. Therefore one has to be very cautious about using the results calculated in Minkowskian space in early universe applications. This is true for particle decay rates in particular, which need to be calculated using quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Previous studies are usually restricted to using minimal or conformal coupling for the decaying particle, while using a more general coupling would give deeper insight into particle decay. This paper presents the results we obtained for a massive particle decaying in a general power-law universe with arbitrary coupling to gravity. We find that depending on the value of the gravitational coupling, the effect of gravitation may either strengthen or weaken the decay. The analysis further reveals that, apart from radiation dominated universe, there are values of the coupling constant for which the decay rate is exactly Minkowskian for all universe types. Because the decay rate may be considerably modified in curved space, these issues need to be considered when doing precise cosmological calculations.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Alcohol messages contained in television programming serve as sources of information about drinking. To better understand the ways embedded messages about alcohol are communicated, it is crucial to objectively monitor and analyze television alcohol depictions. This article presents a content analysis of an eight-week sample of eighteen prime-time programs. Alcohol messages were coded based on modalities of presentation, level of plot connection, and valence. The analysis reveals that mixed messages about alcohol often coexist but the ways in which they are presented differ: whereas negative messages are tied to the plot and communicated verbally, positive messages are associated with subtle visual portrayals.

description: Se. (Sintonius) christophersi (Sinton, 1927)
As a member of the subgenus Sintonius, the male exhibits a pointed parameral sheath, whereas the female has annealed spermathecae, a common character in the genus Phlebotomus but an original character in the genus Sergentomyia, shared only by the members of the subgenus Trouilletomyia [55].
The identification of the male is based on a few teeth (3–7) of the cibarial armature and the existence of a row of a few vertical teeth. Similarly, the female exhibits a few cibarial teeth (2–5) and a few anterior vertical teeth (4–6) arranged along a line.
The distribution area of Se. christophersi is wide: from Morocco to India, including Cameroon [69] and the Arabian Peninsula [20, 42]. In Oman, we found Se. christophersi both in the Sharqiyah and in the Dhofar.

description: Dynamical symmetry breaking in an expanding nuclear system is investigated in semi-classical and quantum framework by employing a collective transport model which is constructed to mimic the collective behavior of expanding systems. It is shown that the fluctuations in collective coordinates during the expansion are developed mainly by the enhancement of the initial fluctuations by the driving force, and that statistical and quantum fluctuations have similar consequences. It is pointed out that the quantal fluctuations may play an important role in the development of instabilities by reducing the time needed to break the symmetry, and the possible role of quantal fluctuations in spinodal decomposition of nuclei is discussed.

description: In the era of modern technology, object detection using the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) extraction method plays a crucial role in object recognition processes. It finds applications in real-time scenarios such as security surveillance and autonomous vehicle navigation, among others. Computational efficiency becomes a critical factor in achieving real-time object detection. Hence, there is a need for a detection model with low complexity and satisfactory accuracy. This research aims to enhance computational efficiency by selecting appropriate features within the GLCM framework. Two classification models, namely K-Nearest Neighbours (K-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), were employed, with the results indicating that K-Nearest Neighbours (K-NN) outperforms SVM in terms of computational complexity. Specifically, K-NN, when utilizing a combination of Correlation, Energy, and Homogeneity features, achieves a 100% accuracy rate with low complexity. Moreover, when using a combination of Energy and Homogeneity features, K-NN attains an almost perfect accuracy level of 99.9889%, while maintaining low complexity. On the other hand, despite SVM achieving 100% accuracy in certain feature combinations, its high or very high complexity can pose challenges, particularly in real-time applications. Therefore, based on the trade-off between accuracy and complexity, the K-NN model with a combination of Correlation, Energy, and Homogeneity features emerges as a more suitable choice for real-time applications that demand high accuracy and low complexity. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing object detection in various applications requiring both high accuracy and rapid responsiveness.

description: Several works have shown unconditional hardness (via integrality gaps) of computing equilibria using strong hierarchies of convex relaxations. Such results however only apply to the problem of computing equilibria that optimize a certain objective function and not to the (arguably more fundamental) task of finding \emph{any} equilibrium. We present an algorithmic model based on the sum-of-squares (SoS) hierarchy that allows escaping this inherent limitation of integrality gaps. In this model, algorithms access the input game only through a relaxed solution to the natural SoS relaxation for computing equilibria. They can then adaptively construct a list of candidate solutions and invoke a verification oracle to check if any candidate on the list is a solution. This model captures most well-studied approximation algorithms such as those for Max-Cut, Sparsest Cut, and Unique-Games. The state-of-the-art algorithms for computing exact and approximate equilibria in two-player, n-strategy games are captured in this model and require that at least one of i) size (~ running time) of the SoS relaxation or ii) the size of the list of candidates, be at least $2^{Ω(n)}$ and $n^{Ω(\log{(n)})}$ respectively. Our main result shows a lower bound that matches these upper bound up to constant factors in the exponent. This can be interpreted as an unconditional confirmation, in our restricted algorithmic framework, of Rubinstein's recent conditional hardness \cite{Rub} for computing approximate equilibria. Our proof strategy involves constructing a family of games that all share a common sum-of-squares solution but every (approximate) equilibrium of one game is far from every (approximate) equilibrium of any other game in the family.

As a member of the subgenus Sintonius, the male exhibits a pointed parameral sheath, whereas the female has annealed spermathecae.
The identification of the male is based on the presence of 16–35 small cibarial teeth. The female exhibits a row counting 10–15 cibarial teeth and a row of vertical teeth in variable number (from 4 to about 20) [19].
The distribution of Se. clydei is wide and was recently revised [19]: from Senegal to Afghanistan, through the Arabian Peninsula and the Seychelles.
In Oman, we recorded a limited number of specimens, more in in the Sharqiyah than in the Dhofar.
Se. clydei is a sandfly feeding on humans as well as on reptiles [1, 68] but no Leishmania vectorial role has been demonstrated for this species.

description: Telepresence robots can be used to support users to navigate an environment remotely and share the visiting experience with their social partners. Although such systems allow users to see and hear the remote environment and communicate with their partners via live video feed, this does not provide enough awareness of the environment and their remote partner's activities. In this paper, we introduce an awareness framework for collaborative locomotion in scenarios of onsite and remote users visiting a place together. From an observational study of small groups of people visiting exhibitions, we derived four design goals for enhancing the environmental and social awareness between social partners, and developed a set of awareness-enhancing techniques to add to a standard telepresence robot - named TeleAware robot. Through a controlled experiment simulating a guided exhibition visiting task, TeleAware robot showed the ability to lower the workload, facilitate closer social proximity, and improve mutual awareness and social presence compared with the standard one. We discuss the impact of mobility and roles of local and remote users, and provide insights for the future design of awareness-enhancing telepresence robot systems that facilitate collaborative locomotion.

PRODUCTION OF BOGOTAN PUBLIC SPACE, SOCIO-SPATIAL SEGREGATION IN THE PERIMETER-URBAN ZONE
Creators: name: CARVAJAL SÁNCHEZ, NOHORA INÉS
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: Bogotan space reflects the visions and interests of the different players constructing it. The main issue of this article deals with the construction of Bogotá’s peri-urban spaces, mainly in relation to the logic of socio-spatial segregation. The analysis is centered on specific cases of the Usme, Bosa and Suba locations. Both the segregation spaces and the poor have been settling in Bogotá’s periphery, a tendency that is enhanced by socio-economic stratification, an instrument used mainly to charge differential rates for public utilities, which has become an internal segregation mechanism. The general focus to deal with this issue is based on research about local initiatives as territorial development dynamics in Bogotá’s peri-urban zone. Within the project’s frame, three young researchers from the Geographic and Environmental Engineering Program, under the author’s tutoring, developed their projects, from which some aspects are used for this article. The methodology used is qualitative whereby fieldwork is an essential element. One of the key concepts refers to peri-urban zones of the large Latin American metropolises such a Bogotá, zones that are characterized by a territorial recomposing which, according to Davis (2007), is the outcome of the meeting between the rural and the urban, where a dense network of interactions joins the large urban nodes to their neighboring regions. In these zones large investments in public and private capital are made, but there are also actions taken by the inhabitants through collective vindications which are consolidated by the community organizing itself as groups. Another important concept for this work is the socio-spatial segregation related to the concept of frontier. According to Lampis (2002) in Bogotá there are two frontiers: one has to do with the differentiated access to economic resources; that is, one portion of the population moves along the world-wise economy of abundance, whereas the other large portion is made up of the excluded ones, who can be found within informal economy. The second frontier is determined by the fear of those who inhabit luxurious homes and segregate themselves because of their fear of robbery, kidnapping, and extortion.

THE VULNERABILITY BEFORE NATURAL EVENTS AND URBAN INSECURITY, FACTORS WHICH INCREASE SEGREGATION IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF BOGOTÁ
Creators: name: JIMÉNEZ REYES, LUIS CARLOS
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: Urban segregation is a social and spatial phenomenon to which different authors attribute more or less shared features. These features underline several negative effects experienced by a population which generally shares a common space, and which acquires such a condition of segregation because of the accumulation over time of certain trends of urban growth, and because of socio-economic dynamics which are specific of urban environments. Some of these features refer to actual geographical space and other to the population. This article focuses on some of the negative effects which have been dealt with less frequently by scholars. In particular, reference is made to the greater social vulnerability caused by the comparatively disadvantageous exposure to natural hazards, by the greater exposure to violence and urban insecurity, as well as by the unfair treatment resulting from the application of planning and land use tools, which in turn would cause perverse effects for the entire population. The spatial environment involved is the southern part of the city of Bogotá, which approximately coincides with the urban part of the Tunjuelo River basin.

description: Several spider mites of the genus Oligonychus (Acari: Tetranychidae)
 are recorded on coffee plantations, but the most prevalent species in South and Central America are O. yothersi (McGregor) and O. ilicis (McGregor). O. coffeae (Nietner) is an important pest of coffee in Africa and Asia. All of these species are very similar. The adults are oval and 0.4-0.6 mm long. In general, the life cycle for these spider mites is around 20 days long and the adult lifespan may be as long as 1 month. All of these species are characterized by their red color in the adult stage. They are normally found on the lower side of the leaves along the veins. Adult females can lay up to 30 eggs in about 8 days.
 O. coffeae, commonly called the coffee red spider mite, also attacks tea, cotton, and several other plants. Eggs are bright red, spherical, and invisible to the naked eye. The anterior part of the adult is red and the posterior part is lightly colored (Fig. 80). The nymphal stages are similar but smaller. O. ilicis is also red and lives on the upper surface of leaves, covering itself with webbing. The mites descend on threads from leaf to leaf and are carried by wind. O. yothersi is also a serious pest of avocado in several regions of the Americas. The life stages last 14-15 days. Females are capable of laying 40-50 eggs during their lifespan.
Nymphs and adults feed by sucking the sap from the leaf tissue. Feeding is initially confined to the upper surface of leaves and is found first along the midrib and secondary leaf veins. The areas along the veins become reddish brown (Fig. 81). Damage by spider mites reduces photosynthesis up to 30%. Infested leaves often abscise prematurely.
 Spider mites are especially abundant during dry seasons, increasing populations and causing alarm among the farmers. However, populations decrease as soon as the rainy season arrives. They are very common in coffee plots near dusty roads. Control is exerted by several natural enemies, such as members of the family Coccinellidae, Stethorus sp., Scymnus sp., Coleomegilla sp., and fungal entomopathogens, such Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. and Paecilomyces spp. They are also preyed upon by mites in the family Phytoseiidae.

Noncommutative and Ordinary Super Yang-Mills on (D$(p-2)$, D$p$) Bound States

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study properties of (D$(p-2)$, D$p$) nonthreshold bound states ($2 \le p \le 6 $) in the dual gravity description. These bound states can be viewed as D$p$-branes with a nonzero NS $B$ field of rank two. We find that in the decoupling limit, the thermodynamics of the $N_p$ coincident D$p$-branes with $B$ field is the same not only as that of $N_p$ coincident D$p$-branes without $B$ field, but also as that of the $N_{p-2}$ coincident D$(p-2)$-branes with two smeared coordinates and no $B$ field, for $N_{p-2}/N_p= \tilde{V}_2/[(2π)^2 \tilde{b}]$ with $\tilde{V}_2$ being the area of the two smeared directions and $\tilde{b}$ a noncommutativity parameter. We also obtain the same relation from the thermodynamics and dynamics by probe methods. This suggests that the noncommutative super Yang-Mills with gauge group $U(N_p)$ in ($p+1$) dimensions is equivalent to an ordinary one with gauge group $U(\infty)$ in ($p-1$) dimensions in the limit $\tilde{V}_2 \to \infty$. We also find that the free energy of a D$p$-brane probe with $B$ field in the background of D$p$-branes with $B$ field coincides with that of a D$p$-brane probe in the background of D$p$-branes without $B$ field.

GEOGRAPHY AND PLANNING THIRTY YEARS ON CONSIDERATIONS MADE IN THE MARGINS OF AN UNUSUAL BOOK
Creators: name: Landini, Piergiorgio
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: The author is inspired by a recent book (2014) written by Giovanni Crocioni, an engineer and urban planner, to take up once again a past debate on concepts and themes used both in geography and in planning such as city, territory and region. After retracing opinions formed in the past century, the author focuses on the development planning of wide area, pointing out how the British vocabulary, in its various compounds (town-planning, city-planning, regional planning, town and country planning, city and regional planning), expresses greater attention for the global problems of the territory. Nowadays, in Italy, the issue is concentrated on both the strategic value and the scale of planning to stress its united and inter-disciplinary nature. In order to achieve that aim, administrative reorganization and consequently a new juridical frame, are fundamental. According to recent opinions collected from the Società Geografica Italiana and the Istituto Nazionale di Urbanistica, the author concludes by stating that it is time for the two disciplines to find a point of convergence, in order to avoid deferring action and to obtain concrete measures, made more pressing by the degradation of both natural and manmade territory.

Year: 2019

description: At the end of an expansive period in terms of geopolitical influence, in the summer 2014, a delicate moment of transition, Russia shows a strong economic growth and a gradual growing international importance. Moscow moves today its checkers trying to play again the same role it used to play in the past especially in Asia. Furthermore, an ambitious strategic plan of infrastructural development, in the central and eastern regions, foresees that in 2020 almost one third of Russian population will live in those territories, object of great development projects: the district of Far East will be the destination of a massive empowerment of energy production from renewable resources, and will see the reinforcement of the infrastructural links between its major cities, while Siberia will become an energy hub for oil & gas, and the District of Ural, will become the strategic point for logistic, industrial production and trade toward centre Asia, the very heart of the Euro Asian Economic Union.

Polya-Szego inequality and Dirichlet $p$-spectral gap for non-smooth spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below

description: We study decreasing rearrangements of functions defined on (possibly non-smooth) metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below by $K>0$ and dimension bounded above by $N\in (1,\infty)$ in a synthetic sense, the so called $CD(K,N)$ spaces. We first establish a Polya-Szego type inequality stating that the $W^{1,p}$-Sobolev norm decreases under such a rearrangement and apply the result to show sharp spectral gap for the $p$-Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions (on open subsets), for every $p\in (1,\infty)$. This extends to the non-smooth setting a classical result of Bérard-Meyer and Matei; remarkable examples of spaces fitting out framework and for which the results seem new include: measured-Gromov Hausdorff limits of Riemannian manifolds with Ricci$\geq K>0$, finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces with curvature$\geq K>0$, Finsler manifolds with Ricci$\geq K>0$. In the second part of the paper we prove new rigidity and almost rigidity results attached to the aforementioned inequalities, in the framework of $RCD(K,N)$ spaces, which seem original even for smooth Riemannian manifolds with Ricci$\geq K>0$.

description: Se. (Parrotomyia) africana (Newstead, 1912)
The female has a well-developed palisade-like cibarial armature of 55–80 teeth and smooth elongated capsule-like spermathecae typical of the subgenus Parrotomyia.
The male shows a cibarial armature of 20–35 teeth, palisade-like.
Se. africana is a member of a species complex called the Africana group, which requires revision by molecular tools as some identifications refer to the group rather than to the species sensu stricto. Its distribution area is wide. It includes Africa and the Middle-East, including the Arabian Peninsula.
This species has never been reported to be involved in the transmission of Leishmania.

description: The nuclear collective response at finite temperature is investigated for the first time in the quantum framework of the small amplitude limit of the extended TDHF approach, including a non-Markovian collision term. It is shown that the collision width satisfies a secular equation. By employing a Skyrme force, the isoscalar monopole, isovector dipole and isoscalar quadrupole excitations in $^{40}Ca$ are calculated and important quantum features are pointed out. The collisional damping due to decay into incoherent 2p-2h states is small at low temperatures but increases rapidly at higher temperatures.

ISLAMIC RADICALISM, JIHAD AND GEOGRAPHY OF UNCERTAINTY
Creators: name: Ricci, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: The recent news from the Middle East and about the facts occurred in France during the last January pose some questions to geography: what kind of geographical and political project is proposing the Islamic State (IS)?; is that a real State, which is changing the political geographies of the Middle East?; are the borders being redefined by its action?; finally: what kind of military engagement could be taken by Europe? This contribute tries to underline these questions, proposing a lecture of the changes occurring between Syria and Iraq, but maybe also in Nigeria and Yemen, of a geography of uncertainty. With this image the article tries to give an idea of the struggle between two different conceptions of the political spaces, that is producing a significant uncertainty about the borders and the territorial definition of political powers. The internal fragmentation of Iraq and Syria, strongly evident, seems to derive from the IS’ attempt to impose a different political model from the Western one: this conflict – between a universalist and religious model and a Western one – seems to contribute to produce a geography of uncertainty.
