Correlations between density distributions, optical spectra, and ion species in a hydrogen plasma (invited)
2016
An experimental study of plasma distributions in a 2.45 GHz hydrogen discharge operated at 100 Hz repetition rate is presented. Ultrafast photography, time integrated visible light emission spectra, time resolved Balmer-alpha emission, time resolved Fulcher Band emission, ion species mass spectra, and time resolved ion species fraction measurements have been implemented as diagnostic tools in a broad range of plasma conditions. Results of plasma distributions and optical emissions correlated with H + , H + 2 , and H + 3 ion currents by using a Wien filter system with optical observation capability are reported. The magnetic field distribution and strength is found as the most critical facto…
Robust Mean Field Games with Application to Production of an Exhaustible Resource
2012
International audience; In this paper, we study mean field games under uncertainty. We consider a population of players with individual states driven by a standard Brownian motion and a disturbance term. The contribution is three-fold: First, we establish a mean field system for such robust games. Second, we apply the methodology to an exhaustible resource production. Third, we show that the dimension of the mean field system can be significantly reduced by considering a functional of the first moment of the mean field process.
"The human use of human beings": Interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity and all that in biophysics and beyond.
2017
Abstract Biophysics, just by looking at its name, indicates an interdisciplinary scientific activity, although the notion of interdisciplinarity, as such, seems to be not widely or specifically discussed by biophysicists. The same seems to have happened as well in the early stages of the development of cybernetics, notably in Norbert Wiener's writings. This situation seems to contrast with what has happened in subsequent developments of cybernetics ideas, notably in general system theory and cognitive sciences. After a few general reflections on the notion of interdisciplinarity, its sophisticated variants and the path leading to the birth of cognitive science, we shall refer to Wiener's th…
María Magdalena. Continuidad y variación en la cultura audiovisual (1897-2014)
2017
El objetivo principal de esta tesis consiste en analizar la presencia de María Magdalena en las producciones audiovisuales del periodo comprendido entre 1897 y 2014. Dichas producciones proceden de Europa, Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. El marco metodológico general a partir del que se plantea el análisis es la iconología, entendida como Zwichenraum o tierra de confluencias. En concreto, la noción de continuidad y variación, iniciada por Aby Warburg y continuada por Fritz Saxl, es la principal cuestión teórica en la que se basa la aproximación. El estudio se lleva a cabo en perspectiva diacrónica con el objetivo de detectar dichas fases de continuidad y variación del personaje a lo largo …
Vertical Beam Polarization at MAMI
2017
For the first time a vertically polarized electron beam has been used for physics experiments at MAMI in the energy range between 180 and 855 MeV. The beam-normal single-spin asymmetry $A_{\mathrm{n}}$, which is a direct probe of higher-order photon exchange beyond the first Born approximation, has been measured in the reaction $^{12}\mathrm C(\vec e,e')^{12}\mathrm C$. Vertical polarization orientation was necessary to measure this asymmetry with the existing experimental setup. In this paper we describe the procedure to orient the electron polarization vector vertically, and the concept of determining both its magnitude and orientation with the available setup. A sophisticated method has …
Quantifying Net Synergy/Redundancy of Spontaneous Variability Regulation via Predictability and Transfer Entropy Decomposition Frameworks.
2017
Objective: Indexes assessing the balance between redundancy and synergy were hypothesized to be helpful in characterizing cardiovascular control from spontaneous beat-to-beat variations of heart period (HP), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), and respiration (R). Methods: Net redundancy/synergy indexes were derived according to predictability and transfer entropy decomposition strategies via a multivariate linear regression approach. Indexes were tested in two protocols inducing modifications of the cardiovascular regulation via baroreflex loading/unloading (i.e., head-down tilt at −25° and graded head-up tilt at 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°, respectively). The net redundancy/synergy of …
Modern Impressionist or Idyllic Genre Painter? Zorn’s European Fame from an Italian Perspective
2013
This article examines Zorn's international fame (France, Germany) and then focuses on the Swedish painter's controversial reception in Italian media (Vittorio Pica, Ardengo Soffici).
Il caso Webern. Ricostruzione di un delitto
2021
La sera del 15 settembre 1945, a guerra ormai conclusa, il compositore Anton Webern fu assassinato da un cuoco dell'esercito americano. Le circostanze del delitto sono rimaste in parte senza spiegazione e proiettano un'ombra sulla biografia di Webern nel suo complesso. Il libro traccia un profilo biografico del compositore, con particolare riferimento agli ultimi anni della sua vita e mistero della sua morte. On the evening of September 15, 1945, when the war was over, the composer Anton Webern was assassinated by a cook of the American occupation army. The circumstances of the crime remain in some respects unsolved and cast a shadow over Webern's biography as a whole. The book is a portrai…
The Source of Righteousness according to The Homilies on the Epistle of St. Paul to Romans of John Chrysostom
2020
W Homiliach na List św. Pawła do Rzymian Jan Chryzostom wyłożył tradycyjną naukę Kościoła na temat usprawiedliwienia człowieka. Za podstawę uważał sprawiedliwość Boga, który, czego dowodzi przykład Abrahama, od początku historii zbawienia dążył do udzielenia ludziom darmowej łaski usprawiedliwienia, opierającej się nie na uczynkach wynikających z Prawa Mojżeszowego, ale na wierze w Bożą obietnicę. Źródłem łaski usprawiedliwienia była dla Złotoustego Ewangelia, a zwłaszcza męka, śmierć i zmartwychwstanie Jezusa Chrystusa. Przez pośrednictwo Odkupiciela sprawiedliwość Boża staje się dostępna śmiertelnikowi. Aby jednak człowiek rzeczywiście i skutecznie został przeniesiony w stan sprawiedliwoś…
Parameter Estimation for α-Fractional Bridges
2013
Let α, T > 0. We study the asymptotic properties of a least squares estimator for the parameter α of a fractional bridge defined as \(\mathrm{d}X_{t} = -\alpha \, \frac{X_{t}} {T-t}\,\mathrm{d}t + \mathrm{d}B_{t}\), 0 ≤ t \frac{1} {2}\). Depending on the value of α, we prove that we may have strong consistency or not as t → T. When we have consistency, we obtain the rate of this convergence as well. Also, we compare our results to the (known) case where B is replaced by a standard Brownian motion W.
