JaxoDraw: A graphical user interface for drawing Feynman diagrams
2003
JaxoDraw is a Feynman graph plotting tool written in Java. It has a complete graphical user interface that allows all actions to be carried out via mouse click-and-drag operations in a WYSIWYG fashion. Graphs may be exported to postscript/EPS format and can be saved in XML files to be used in later sessions. One of the main features of JaxoDraw is the possibility to produce LaTeX code that may be used to generate graphics output, thus combining the powers of TeX/LaTeX with those of a modern day drawing program. With JaxoDraw it becomes possible to draw even complicated Feynman diagrams with just a few mouse clicks, without the knowledge of any programming language.
Humboldt Meets Schumpeter? Interpreting the ‘Entrepreneurial Turn’ in European Higher Education
2016
Universities are increasingly pressured to respond to external imperatives and demands, while, at the same time, they are expected to enhance both their efficiency and accountability. This is leading to the local adoption of key, structural and cultural features associated with the model or global script of the entrepreneurial university. This chapter undertakes a critical analysis of the premises associated with the latter model, and provides new insights on the sustainability of the “entrepreneurial turn in higher education” against the backdrop of the challenges facing European universities.
The Many Guises of Nordic Higher Education Mergers
2016
In this final chapter, the volume’s editors reflect upon the empirical and theoretical contributions from the book. The chapter is structured according to a number of ‘dimensions’ which have appeared in the previous chapters. It is concluded that the historical contexts and path dependencies play crucial roles also in the case of mergers. Furthermore, the importance of key actors is highlighted, not least the role played by formal top leaders, but also informal brokers and change agents at the institutional level. In terms of future research, two lines of inquiry are identified. The first is to delve deeper into process-related issues, which is still an unexplored aspect of mergers, and the…
United We Stand: The Recognition of Joint Degrees
2003
Joint degrees are awarded on the basis of completion of a study program established and provided jointly by two or more higher education institutions, normally located in different countries. They therefore normally require students to take a part of their degree abroad and are a potentially important instrument for increasing academic mobility and internationalizing higher education in Europe, which are among the key goals of the Bologna Process. A recent study by one of the authors, Andrejs Rauhvargers, undertaken for the European University Association (EUA), considers this increasingly important element of higher education that, however, is hampered by inadequate recognition across bor…
University?Industry Relations in France
1993
International audience; This paper summarises the key developments in university-industry relations in France in recent years. The overall trend is seen to be one in which there has been a movement away from dependence on the state and towards a diversity of the types of co-operation between firms and institutions of higher education.

Prefazione al volume "Mirdita në Arkivin e Propagandës Fide në shekujt XVII-XIX" contenente una raccolta di documenti storici - trascritti e tradotti in albanese da Arben Ndreca - sulla regione di Mirdita nell'Albania settentrionale, i cui originali sono conservati presso l'Archivio Storico di Propaganda Fide in Vaticano. Si tratta principalmente di relazioni che i prelati della Chiesa Cattolica in Albania inviavano periodicamente alla Congregazione di Propaganda Fide durante un periodo di oltre tre secoli (prima metà XVII sec. - fine XIX sec.) e che oggi costituiscono una preziosa fonte di dati per la storia di quella regione. Preface to the volume "Mirdita në Arkivin e Propagandës Fide në…
Du monnayage au crypto-monnayage
2020
Minting Techniques in Currencies and Cryptocurrencies. Over the past ten years, the creation of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has renewed the debate on the nature of money. This paper discusses the comparison between cryptocurrencies and coins : after describing their ideological and technical foundations, we explain the reasons why the reference to metals is often invoked. We then detail the techniques of minting, the processes of marking, and the question of seigniorage.
Analysis of a Station Black-Out transient in SMR by using the TRACE and RELAP5 code
2014
The present paper deals with the investigation of the evolution and consequences of a Station Black-Out (SBO) initiating event transient in the SPES3 facility [1]. This facility is an integral simulator of a small modular reactor being built at the SIET laboratories, in the framework of the R&D program on nuclear fission funded by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and led by ENEA. The SBO transient will be simulated by using the RELAP5 and TRACE nodalizations of the SPES3 facility. Moreover, the analysis will contribute to study the differences on the code predictions considering the different modelling approach with one and/or three-dimensional components and to compare the capa…
Error and Uncertainty Analysis of the Residual Stresses Computed by Using the Hole Drilling Method
2010
: The hole-drilling method is one of the most used techniques for the experimental analysis of the residual stresses in mechanical components. For both through-thickness uniform and non-uniform residual stress distributions, its application is standardised by the ASTM E837-08. In accordance with the ASTM limitations, the analysis of uniform residual stresses, to which the present work deals with, leads in general to results with a maximum bias of about 10%. Unfortunately, in general the user does not have appropriate procedures to estimate the actual stress error; consequently, if one or more of the experimental influence parameters fall out of the corresponding standard limitations, the c…
H2S: A Secure and Efficient Data Aggregative Retrieval Scheme in Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks
2009
In unattended wireless sensor networks, data are stored locally and retrieved on demand. To efficiently transmit the collector’s retrieval results, data are aggregated along being forwarded. The data confidentiality and integrity should be protected at the intermediate nodes. End-to-end encryption or hop-by-hop encryption based schemes are not efficient. Straightforward homomorphic encryption based scheme is not compromise resilient. To achieve all the desires, we propose a scheme - H2S by making use of both homomorphic secret sharing and homomorphic encryption. The security and efficiency of our scheme are justified by extensive analysis.
