title: Radicalisation des mouvements écologistes ? Discours et représentations, dispositifs politiques, administratifs, juridiques et judiciaires
Publisher: name: Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès
Year: 2024

description: À mesure que s’amplifient les transformations globales, les mouvements écologistes appelant une action décisive des autorités publiques pour freiner les changements climatiques et préserver les conditions environnementales de la vie humaine sur terre se sont faits, au cours des dernières années, de plus en plus nombreux, de plus en plus visibles et de plus en plus revendicatifs. Face à ces mises en demeure, les réponses de l’État demeurent très en deçà des attentes sociales exprimées ainsi que des objectifs qu'il s'est lui-même engagé à respecter. Faute de pouvoir répondre positivement aux demandes sociales et écologiques portées par ces mouvements, les gouvernements qui se sont succédé depuis les années 2010 ont privilégié la réplique répressive.

description: Objective. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) acts to slow down a vehicle when an unavoidable impending collision is detected. In addition to documented benefits when applied to passenger cars, AEB has also shown potential when applied to motorcycles (MAEB). However, the feasibility of MAEB as practically applied to motorcycles in the real world is not well understood. Methods. In this study we performed a field trial involving 16 riders on a test motorcycle subjected to automatic decelerations, thus simulating MAEB activation. The tests were conducted along a rectilinear path at nominal speed of 40 km/h and with mean deceleration of 0.15 g (15% of full braking) deployed at random times. Riders were also exposed to one final undeclared brake activation with the aim of providing genuinely unexpected automatic braking events. Results. Participants were consistently able to manage automatic decelerations of the vehicle with minor to moderate effort. Results of undeclared activations were consistent with those of standard runs. Conclusions. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a moderate automatic deceleration in a scenario of motorcycle travelling in a straight path, supporting the notion that the application of AEB on motorcycles is practicable. Furthermore, the proposed field trial can be used as a reference for future regulation or consumer tests in order to address safety and acceptability of unexpected automatic decelerations on a motorcycle.

description: Objective: Adults 65 years of age and older comprise the fastest growing demographic in the United States. As substance use is projected to increase in this population, there is concern that more seniors will drive under the influence of impairing drugs. The purpose of this analysis was to characterize the drug and alcohol usage among senior drivers fatally injured (FI) in traffic collisions. Methods: Data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System were analyzed from 2008-2012. Commonly used classes and specific drugs were explored. Rates of drug use, multiple drugs, concomitant drug and alcohol use, and alcohol use alone were generated using Poisson regression with robust error variance estimation. Rates were compared to a reference population of FI middle-aged drivers (30 to 50 years old) using rate ratios. Results: Drug use among FI senior drivers occurred in 20.0% of those tested. Among drug-positive FI senior drivers, narcotics and depressants were frequent. The prevalence of testing positive for any drug, multiple drugs, combined drug and alcohol, and alcohol use alone among FI seniors were 47% less (RR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.47, 0.62), 59% less (RR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.34, 0.51), 87% less (RR = 0.13, 95% CI 0.09, 0.19) and 77% less (RR = 0.23, 95% CI 0.19, 0.28), respectively, compared to FI middle-aged drivers. Conclusions: While overall drug use is less common among FI senior drivers relative to FI middle-aged drivers, driving under the influence of drugs may be a relevant traffic safety concern in a portion of this population.

description: A convenient synthesis of the dodecanoyl thiosemicarbazide derivatives 3a, b has been achieved from the reaction of 2-benzamido-3-arylacryloylhydrazides 1a, b and lauroyl isothiocyanate (2). The thiosemicarbazide derivative 3a is used as precursor for synthesis of 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, and 1,3-benzothiazole derivatives. The antimicrobial activity of some of the synthesized compounds was tested.

description: Focusing on two-level atoms, we apply the positive $P$ representation to a full-wave mixed bosonic and fermionic system of Jaynes-Cummings type and identify an advantageous degree of freedom in the choice of the involved nonorthogonal fermionic basis states. On this basis, we propose a stochastic correction to the Maxwell-Bloch equations by relating them to a stochastic differential equation on a nonclassical phase space, which captures the full second quantization dynamics of the system. This approach explores the connection between semiclassical and field-quantized treatments of light-matter interaction and can potentially be used for the simulation of nonclassical light sources while retaining the main advantages of a semiclassical model.

description: Hochgenaue Fertigungstechnologien stellen die dimensionelle Messtechnik vor enorme Herausforderungen. In Ermangelung geeigneter Sensorsysteme sind Messungen an komplexen Geometrien mit einem Höchstwert der Messunsicherheit im Nanometerbereich ein größtenteils immer noch ungelöstes Problem. Hauptursächlich ist das Fehlen geeigneter Verfahren zur hochgenauen Kalibrierung mikrodimensionaler Referenzkörper sowohl hinsichtlich ihrer Grob- als auch ihrer Feingestalt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden zwei diesbezüglich potentiell geeignete Messmethoden präsentiert und untersucht. Dies ist zum einen ein Rasterkraftmikroskop mit einstellbarer Antastrichtung zur Kalibrierung der Feingestalt und zum anderen die bidirektionale Konfokalmikroskopie zur Kalibrierung der Grobgestalt nanometrologischer Referenzkörper.
description: Highly accurate manufacturing technologies pose an enormous challenge for dimensional metrology. Due to the lack of suitable sensor systems, measurements on complex geometries with target uncertainties in the nanometre-range are still a largely unresolved problem. This is mainly caused by a lack of highly accurate measurement procedures to calibrate micro-dimensional reference bodies in terms of their coarse and fine form. This thesis presents and examines two procedures that might be applied for the nanometrological calibration of reference bodies. Firstly, a scanning force microscope with an adjustable probe direction to calibrate the fine form and secondly, the bidirectional confocal microscopy to calibrate the coarse form of nanometrological reference bodies.

description: Sparse and serendipitous asteroid photometry obtained by wide field surveys such as the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (\ATLAS) is a valuable resource for studying the properties of large numbers of small Solar System bodies. We have gathered a large database of \ATLAS photometry in wideband optical cyan and orange filters, consisting of 9.6\e{7} observations of 4.5\e{5} main belt asteroids and Jupiter Trojans. We conduct a phase curve analysis of these asteroids considering each apparition separately, allowing us to accurately reject outlying observations and to remove apparitions and asteroids not suitable for phase curve determination. We obtain a dataset of absolute magnitudes and phase parameters for over 100,000 selected asteroids observed by \ATLAS, $\sim66,000$ of which had sufficient measurements to derive colours in the \ATLAS filters. To demonstrate the power of our dataset we consider the properties of the Nysa-Polana complex, for which the \ATLAS colours and phase parameters trace the S-like and C-like compositions amongst family members. We also compare the properties of the leading and trailing groups of Jupiter Trojans, finding no significant differences in their phase parameters or colours as measured by \ATLAS, supporting the consensus that these groups were captured from a common source population during planetary migration. Furthermore, we identify $\sim9000$ asteroids that exhibit large shifts in derived absolute magnitude between apparitions, indicating that these objects have both elongated shapes and spin axes with obliquity $\sim 90$ degrees.

description: This paper presents a multi-objective variant of the Consistent Vehicle Routing Problem (MoConVRP). Instead of modeling consistency considerations such as driver consistency and time consistency as constraints as in the majority of the ConVRP literature, they are included as objectives. Furthermore, instead of formulating a single weighted objective that relies on specifying relative priorities among objectives, an approach to approximate the Pareto frontier is developed. Specifically, an improved version of multi-directional local search (MDLS) is developed. The updated algorithm, IMDLS, makes use of large neighborhood search (LNS) to find solutions which are improved according to at least one objective to add to the set of non-dominated solutions at each iteration. The performance of IMDLS is compared with MDLS and five other multi-objective algorithms on a set of ConVRP test instances from the literature. The computational study validates the competitive performance of IMDLS. Furthermore, results of the computational study suggest that pursuing the best compromise solution among all three objectives may increase travel costs by about 5% while improving driver and time consistency by approximately 60% and over 75% on average, when compared with a compromise solution having lowest overall travel distance.

description: Objective: In 2012, 4,743 pedestrians were killed in the United States, representing 14% of total traffic fatalities. The number of pedestrians injured was higher at 76,000. Therefore, 36 out of 52 of the largest cities in the United States have adopted a citywide target of reducing pedestrian fatalities. The number of cities adopting the reduction goal during 2011 and 2012 increased rapidly with 8 more cities. We examined the scaling relationship of pedestrian fatality counts as a function of the population size of 115 to 161 large U.S. cities during the period of 1994 to 2011. We also examined the scaling relationship of nonpedestrian and total traffic fatality counts as a function of the population size. Methods: For the data source of fatality measures we used Traffic Safety Facts Fatality Analysis Reporting System/General Estimates System annual reports published each year from 1994 to 2011 by the NHTSA. Using the data source we conducted both annual cross-sectional and panel data bivariate and multivariate regression models. In the construction of the estimated functional relationship between traffic fatality measures and various factors, we used the simple power function for urban scaling used by Bettencourt et al. (2007, 2010) and the refined STIRPAT (stochastic impacts by regression on population, affluence, and technology) model used in Dietz and Rosa (1994, 1997) and York et al. (2003). Results: We found that the scaling relationship display diseconomies of scale or sublinear for pedestrian fatalities. However, the relationship displays a superlinear relationship in case of nonpedestrian fatalities. The scaling relationship for total traffic fatality counts display a nearly linear pattern. When the relationship was examined by the 4 subgroups of cities with different population sizes, the most pronounced sublinear scaling relationships for all 3 types of fatality counts was discovered for the subgroup of megacities with a population of more than 1 million. Conclusions: The scaling patterns of traffic fatalities of subgroups of cities depend on population sizes of the cities in subgroups. In particular, 9 megacities with populations of more than 1 million are significantly different from the remaining cities and should be viewed as a totally separate group. Thus, analysis of the patterns of traffic fatalities needs to be conducted within the group of megacities separately from the other cities with smaller population sizes for devising prevention policies to reduce traffic fatalities in both megacities and smaller cities.

description: Secondary pivalamide derivatives of the tripodal compound and the corresponding monopodal analogue have been prepared and these extraction and separation ability for platinum group metals from base metals in chloride media have been studied. The extractability of Pt(IV) with the tripodal extractant was extremely higher than that with the corresponding monopodal one. The extraction equilibrium equation of Pt(II) with the tripodal extractant was determined from slope analysis. To separate Pt(IV) and Pd(II) over base metals, the forward extraction in the metal coexisting system and the stripping from the metal loaded organic phase were carried out.

We say that $H$ is extremely closed in $G$ if $\langle H,H^g\rangle\cap N_G(H)=H$ for all $g\in G.$ In this paper, we determine the structure of finite groups with an extremely closed abelian $p$-subgroup for some prime $p$. In particular, we show that if $G$ contains such a subgroup $H$, then $G=N_G(H)O_{p'}(G).$ This is a variant on the celebrated Glauberman's $Z^*$-Theorem.

description: Generation of quasi-monoenergetic ion pulse by laser-driven acceleration is one of the hot topics in laser plasma physics. In this study, we present a new method for the \textit{In-situ} deposition of an ultra-thin D$_2$O layer on the surface of an aluminum foil target utilizing a spherical D$_2$O capsule. Employing a 10$^{19}$ W/cm$^2$ laser, we achieve the acceleration of 10.8 MeV deuterons with an energy spread of $Δ$E/E = 4.6% in the most favorable shot. The energy spread depends on the exposure time of the D$_2$O capsule in the vacuum chamber. This method has the potential to extend its applicability to other ion species.

description: We consider the proof system Res($\oplus$) introduced by Itsykson and Sokolov (Ann. Pure Appl. Log.'20), which is an extension of the resolution proof system and operates with disjunctions of linear equations over $\mathbb{F}_2$.
 We study characterizations of tree-like size and space of Res($\oplus$) refutations using combinatorial games. Namely, we introduce a class of extensible formulas and prove tree-like size lower bounds on it using Prover-Delayer games, as well as space lower bounds. This class is of particular interest since it contains many classical combinatorial principles, including the pigeonhole, ordering, and dense linear ordering principles.
 Furthermore, we present the width-space relation for Res($\oplus$) generalizing the results by Atserias and Dalmau (J. Comput. Syst. Sci.'08) and their variant of Spoiler-Duplicator games.

description: Coherent and dissipative interactions between different quantum systems are essential for the construction of hybrid quantum systems and the investigation of novel quantum phenomena. Here, we propose and analyze a magnon-skyrmion hybrid quantum system, consisting of a micromagnet and nearby magnetic skyrmions. We predict a strong coupling mechanism between the magnonic mode of the micromagnet and the quantized helicity degree of freedom of the skyrmion. We show that with this hybrid setup it is possible to induce magnon-mediated nonreciprocal interactions and responses between distant skyrmion qubits or between skyrmion qubits and other quantum systems like superconducting qubits. This work provides a quantum platform for the investigation of diverse quantum effects and quantum information processing with magnetic microstructures.

description: We investigate the parametrized black hole quasinormal ringdown formalism, which is a robust framework used to analyze quasinormal modes in systems that closely resemble general relativity, paying particular attention to the higher overtones. We find that larger deviations from the general relativity case typically appear in the quasinormal frequencies for the higher overtones. This growing tendency for higher overtones can be understood using an analytical method, and its relations to previous works are briefly discussed. Our findings indicate that we can impose a strong constraint on gravity theories by considering the overtones of quasinormal modes.

description: The low symmetry and anistropic lattice of 1T$'$ WTe$_2$ is responsible for the existence of parallel one-dimensional channels in the moiré patterns of twisted bilayers. This gives the opportunity to explore moiré physics of a different nature to that widely observed in twisted bilayers of materials with hexagonal symmetries. Here, we combine plane-wave and linear-scaling density functional theory calculations to describe the electronic properties of twisted bilayer 1T$'$ WTe$_2$. For a small change in the lattice parameters of the constituent 1T$'$ WTe$_2$ monolayers, we find a substantial moiré-induced striped electrostatic potential landscape in the twisted bilayer, with a peak-to-trough magnitude $>$200~meV.

According to conservation of isospin, spin and parity, the hadronic coupling constants in four decay channels are obtained, then the partial decay widths are obtained. The total width of the $P_{cs}(4338)$ coincides with the experimental data nicely, while the predictions for the $P_{cs}(4460)$ can be testified in the future experiment, and shed light on the nature of the $P_{cs}(4338)$.

description: This study investigates the escape of Mercury's sodium-group ions (Na+-group, including ions with m/q from 21 to 30 amu/e) and their dependence on true anomaly angle (TAA), i.e., Mercury's orbital phase around the Sun, using measurements from MESSENGER. The measurements are categorized into solar wind, magnetosheath, and magnetosphere, and further divided into four TAA intervals. Na+-group ions form escape plumes in the solar wind and magnetosheath, with higher fluxes along the solar wind's motional electric field. The total escape rates vary from 0.2 to 1 times 10^{25} atoms/s with the magnetosheath being the main escaping region. These rates exhibit a TAA dependence, peaking near the perihelion and similar during Mercury's remaining orbit. Despite Mercury's tenuous exosphere, Na+-group ions escape rate is comparable to other inner planets. This can be attributed to several processes, including that Na+-group ions may include several ion species, efficient photoionization frequency for elements within Na+-group, etc.

description: We extend the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) framework to dynamic panel data models with endogenous regressors using a Limited Information Bayesian Model Averaging (LIBMA) methodology. Monte Carlo simulations confirm the asymptotic performance of our methodology both in BMA and selection, with high posterior inclusion probabilities for all relevant regressors, and parameter estimates very close to their true values. In addition, we illustrate the use of LIBMA by estimating a dynamic gravity model for bilateral trade. Once model uncertainty, dynamics, and endogeneity are accounted for, we find several factors that are robustly correlated with bilateral trade. We also find that applying methodologies that do not account for either dynamics or endogeneity (or both) results in different sets of robust determinants.

description: We present a code for numerical simulations of the collapse of regular initial data to a black hole in null coordinates. We restrict to twist-free axisymmetry with scalar field matter. Our coordinates are $(u,x,y,φ)$, where the retarded time $u$ labels outgoing null cones emerging from a regular central worldline, the angles $(θ,φ)$ label the null generators of each null cone, and the radial coordinate $x$ labels points along these generators. We focus on a class of generalised Bondi radial coordinates $x$ with the twin properties that $x=0$ is the central world line and that the numerical domain $(u\ge0$, $0\le x\le x_\text{max})$ is a subset of the domain of dependence of the initial data on $(u=0$, $0\le x\le x_\text{max}$). In critical collapse, an appropriate choice of these coordinates can be made to zoom in on the accumulation point of scale echos of the critical solution, without the need for explicit mesh refinement. We introduce a novel numerical scheme that in effect reduces the angular resolution at small radius, such that the time step $Δu$ for an explicit numerical scheme is limited by the radial resolution $Δx$, rather than $Δx(Δθ)^2$. We present convergence tests in the weak-field regime, where we have exact solutions to the linearised scalar and gravitational-wave equations.

description: Objective: In 2012, 4,743 pedestrians were killed in the U.S., representing 14 percent of total traffic fatalities. The number of pedestrians injured was higher at 76,000. Therefore, 36 out of 52 of the largest cities in the U.S. have adopted a citywide target of reducing pedestrian fatalities. The number of cities adopting the reduction goal during 2011 and 2012 increased rapidly with 8 more cities. We examined the scaling relationship of pedestrian fatality counts as a function of the population size of 115 to 161 large U.S cities during the period of 1994 to 2011. We also examined the scaling relationship of non-pedestrian and total traffic fatality counts as function of the population size as well. Methods: For the data source of fatality measures we used Traffic Safety Facts FARS/GES ANNUAL Report published each year from 1994 to 2011 by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Using the data source we conducted both annual cross-sectional and panel data bivariate and multivariate regression models. In the construction of the estimated functional relationship between traffic fatality measures and various factors, we used the simple power function for urban scaling used by Bettencourt et al. (2007; 2010) and the refined STIRPAT(STochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology) model used in Dietz and Rosa (1994; 1997) and York et al. (2003). Results: We found the scaling relationship display diseconomies of scale or sublinear for pedestrian fatalities. However, the relationship displays superlinear relationship in case of non-pedestrian fatality. The scaling relationship for total traffic fatality counts display a near linear pattern. When the relationship was examined by the four subgroups of cities with different population sizes, the most pronounced sublinear scaling relationships for all three types of fatality counts was discovered for the subgroup of mega cities with a population of more than 1 million. Conclusions: The scaling patterns of traffic fatalities of subgroups of cities depend on population sizes of the cities in subgroups. Especially 9 mega cities with populations of more than 1 million are significantly different from the remaining cities and should be viewed as a totally separate group. Thus, the analysis on the patterns of traffic fatalities needs to be conducted within the group of mega cities separately from the other cities with smaller population sizes for devising prevention policies to reduce traffic fatalities of both group of mega cities and the other group of smaller cities.

description: Secondary pivalamide derivatives of the tripodal compound and the corresponding monopodal analogue have been prepared and these extraction and separation ability for platinum group metals from base metals in chloride media have been studied. The extractability of Pt(Ⅳ) with the tripodal extractant was extremely higher than that with the corresponding monopodal one. The extraction equilibrium equation of Pt(Ⅳ) with the tripodal extractant was determined from slope analysis. To separate Pt(Ⅳ) and Pd(Ⅱ) over base metals, the forward extraction in the metal coexisting system and the stripping from the metal loaded organic phase were carried out.

description: Objective: India has been slow in implementing a central emergency medical services (EMS) system across the country. “108 services” is one of the most popular services that is functional under the public–private partnership model. Limited available literature shows that despite access to services, many traffic crash victims are transported using private vehicles. The objective of this study is to understand the effectiveness of 108 services from a traffic safety perspective. Method: A questionnaire survey is conducted to understand the awareness of EMS and their function. Using traffic-related fatalities as the dependent variable, a fixed effect panel data model is developed to analyze the effectiveness of the 108 services in improving the traffic safety. Results: The results from the survey show that, in general, people are not aware of the 108 services. A majority of the population prefers taking victims to the hospital using their personal vehicles or any other vehicles available compared to calling an ambulance. Results from panel data analysis show that despite having an efficient system, these services failed to make significant improvement in the safety of road users in the states in which their services were subscribed. Discussion: The lack of awareness of an important safety service is alarming. This could be a major reason for lower utilization of 108 services for transporting victims of traffic crashes. This article shows the importance of having efficient awareness campaigns to improve the efficiency of any similar programs that are aimed to enhance the safety of a region.

Simulations of gravitational collapse in null coordinates: II. Critical collapse of an axisymmetric scalar field

description: We present the first numerical simulations in null coordinates of the collapse of nonspherical regular initial data to a black hole. We restrict to twist-free axisymmetry, and re-investigate the critical collapse of a non-spherical massless scalar field. We find that the Choptuik solution governing scalar field critical collapse in spherical symmetry persists when fine-tuning moderately non-spherical initial data to the threshold of black hole formation. The non-sphericity evolves as an almost-linear perturbation until the end of the self-similar phase, and becomes dominant only in the final collapse to a black hole. We compare with numerical results of Choptuik et al, Baumgarte, and Marouda et al, and conclude that they have been able to evolve somewhat more non-spherical solutions. Future work with larger deviations from spherical symmetry, and in particular vacuum collapse, will require a different choice of radial coordinate that allows the null generators to reconverge locally.

description: We investigate the well-posedness of the characteristic initial-boundary value problem for the Einstein equations in Bondi-like coordinates (including Bondi, double-null and affine). We propose a definition of strong hyperbolicity of a system of partial differential equations of any order, and show that the Einstein equations in Bondi-like coordinates in their second-order form used in numerical relativity do not meet it, in agreement with results of Giannakopoulos et al for specific first-order reductions. In the principal part, frozen coefficient approximation that one uses to examine hyperbolicity, we explicitly construct the general solution to identify the solutions that obstruct strong hyperbolicity. Independently, we present a first-order symmetric hyperbolic formulation of the Einstein equations in Bondi gauge, linearised about Schwarzschild, thus completing work by Frittelli. This establishes an energy norm ($L^2$ in the metric perturbations and selected first and second derivatives), in which the initial-boundary value problem, with initial data on an outgoing null cone and boundary data on a timelike cylinder or an ingoing null cone, is well-posed, thus verifying a conjecture by Giannakopoulos et al. Unfortunately, our method does not extend to the pure initial-value problem on a null cone with regular vertex.

description: The inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference (SBPD) is recommended to be in relation to potential cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous studies yielded controversial results about the association between an inter-arm SBPD ≥ 10 mmHg or ≥15 mmHg and the risk of cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate this association. We searched PubMed and Embase databases through December 31, 2014, and examined the references of retrieved articles to identify relevant cohort studies. We utilized Newcastle–Ottawa scale to assess the quality of included studies and calculated the summary risk estimates in a fixed/random-effect model. All data analyses were conducted using STATA version 11.0. A total of seven studies were identified. Compared with participants with an inter-arm SBPD < 10 mmHg, the pooled hazard ratio (HR) of CVD mortality of those with an inter-arm SBPD ≥ 10 mmHg was 1.58 (95% CI: 1.3–1.93)，and the pooled HR of cardiovascular mortality of participants with an inter-arm SBPD ≥ 15 mmHg versus those with an inter-arm SBPD < 15 mmHg was 1.88 (95% CI: 1.33–2.66). The findings from the present meta-analysis indicated that the detection of an inter-arm SBPD may define a subpopulation at high risk of CVD events.

description: This paper introduces a uniform substitution calculus for differential refinement logic dRL. The logic dRL extends the differential dynamic logic dL such that one can simultaneously reason about properties of and relations between hybrid systems. Refinements are useful e.g. for simplifying proofs by relating a concrete hybrid system to an abstract one from which the property can be proved more easily. Uniform substitution is the key to parsimonious prover microkernels. It enables the verbatim use of single axiom formulas instead of axiom schemata with soundness-critical side conditions scattered across the proof calculus. The uniform substitution rule can then be used to instantiate all axioms soundly. Access to differential variables in dRL enables more control over the notion of refinement, which is shown to be decidable on a fragment of hybrid programs.

description: We study in detail the influence of different chemical potentials (baryon, charged, strange, and neutrino) on how and how fast a free gas of quarks in the zero-temperature limit reaches the conformal limit. We discuss the influence of non-zero masses, the inclusion of leptons, and different constraints, such as charge neutrality, zero-net strangeness, and fixed lepton fraction. We also investigate for the first time how the symmetry energy of the system under some of these conditions approaches the conformal limit. Finally, we briefly discuss what kind of corrections are expected from perturbative QCD as one goes away from the conformal limit.
