WCxf: An exchange format for Wilson coefficients beyond the Standard Model
2018
We define a data exchange format for numerical values of Wilson coefficients of local operators parameterising low-energy effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. The format facilitates interfacing model-specific Wilson coefficient calculators, renormalisation group (RG) runners, and observable calculators. It is designed to be unambiguous (defining a non-redundant set of operators with fixed normalisation in each basis), extensible (allowing the addition of new EFTs or bases by the user), and robust (being based on industry standard file formats with parsers implemented in many programming languages). We have implemented the format for the Standard Model EFT (SMEFT) and for the weak e…
The sustainability of olive orchard planting management for different harvesting techniques: An integrated methodology
2019
Abstract The globalization of the olive oil market has caused greater competitiveness in terms of olive oil quality and production costs and the main countries interested in olive growing, have introduced efficient planting design and horticultural techniques in order to meet these requirements. In this paper the sustainability of olive orchard planting management for different olive fruit-harvesting methods has been assessed on the basis of the data gathered by the Geographic Information System and processed using a Multi-Criteria Decision Making Analysis. In particular, three different agronomic scenarios have been analyzed and a specific cultivar has been considered in order to ensure th…
Optimization of Charging Stations on a Route with Electric Buses
2019
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 This studyconsiders placement of electric charging stations for a public electric bus system with the intention of minimizing the charging power. This is an optimization problem where fully electric buses with opportunity charging strategy are considered.The developed strategies are proposed for an existing bus route in Oslo city, Norway. Batteryand chargingspecifications were determinedbased on a literature review. Measurements regarding velocity of the bus and altitude of the route were performed. This data where further used to determine the energy needsfor an electric bus. Four cases were formedregarding different batter…
Dynamic scheduling of periodic skippable tasks in an overloaded real-time system
2008
International audience; The need for supporting dynamic real-time environments where changes in workloads may occur requires a scheduling framework that explicitly addresses overload conditions, allows the system to achieve graceful degradation and supports a mechanism capable of determining the load to be shed from the system to handle the overload. In applications ranging from video reception to air-craft control, tasks enter periodically and have response time constraints, but missing a deadline is acceptable, provided most deadlines are met. Such tasks are said to be occasionally skippable and have an assigned skip parameter. We look at the problem of uniprocessor scheduling of skippabl…
Dio, più che necessario. Lo statuto della possibilità in Eberhard Jüngel
2012
Lo studio ripercorre le implicazioni, sia teologiche sia filosofiche, della nota formula jüngeliana di Dio come «più che necessario. La scelta di J. di rifiutare la mediazione dei praeambula fidei, comporta che filosofia e teologia non si dispongano in una successione lineare, ma si presentino come due direzioni autonome di apprensione del senso: quella propria della filosofia, come disponentesi entro l'orizzonte ermeneutico della legge; quella della teologia, nel parallelo orizzonte della giustificazione. In questo secondo registro ermeneutico, regolato dall'analogia fidei e radicato sul piano esistentivo dell'esperienza dell'amore come potenza di avvicinamento, la pensabilità di Dio si de…
The importance of consecutive spells of poverty: a path-dependent index of longitudinal poverty
2011
In this paper we propose a new index of individual poverty in the longitudinal perspective, taking into account the way poverty and non-poverty spells follow one another along individual life courses. The Poverty Persistence Index (PPI) is based on all the pairwise distances between the waves of poverty. The PPI is normalized and it assigns a higher degree of (longitudinal) poverty to people who experience poverty in consecutive, rather than separated, periods, for whom the distances from the poverty line are larger along time and moreover, when the worst years are consecutive and/or recent. We also propose an aggregate index of persistence in poverty (APPI) in order to measure the distribu…
Cactus pear (O. ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) fruit production: Ecophysiology, orchard and fresh-cut fruit management
2015
Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L. Mill.) is cultivated in wide range of environments with the consequence of large differences in crop potential, orchard systems and management. These differences may be related to temperature and rainfall range (water availability) but also to the day/night length and, of course, to soil characteristics. This leads to considerable variability in the field and in fruit quality. Crop value much depends in crop variability in terms of fruit size, which is the major factor for fruit price in Europe. The increase of crop value very much depends on regular cultural practices such as irrigation and fruit thinning, but it is also dependent on plant crop yield an…
The impact of winter flooding with saline water on foliar carbon uptake and the volatile fraction of leaves and fruits of lemon (Citrus limon) trees
2012
We investigated the consequences of recurrent winter flooding with saline water on a lemon (Citrus × limon (L.) Burm.f.) orchard, focussing on photosynthesis limitations and emission of secondary metabolites (isoprenoids) from leaves and fruits. Measurements were carried out immediately after flooding (December), at the end of winter (April) and after a dry summer in which plants were irrigated with optimal quality water (September). Photosynthesis was negatively affected by flooding. The effect was still visible at the end of winter, whereas the photosynthetic rate was fully recovered after summer, indicating an unexpected resilience capacity of flooded plants. Photosynthesis inhibition by…
