Answers in the abstract
No full textAnswers in the Abstract (AiA) is an unfinished work of fiction by Austin Carpentieri. AiA is
a work of fiction which aims to put on display the inner minds of the characters. The story centers around
a group of friends in high school, and their opinions of each other and what they each mean to each other.
Exploring events of loss and tragedy, and how we move onwards and find beauty after them, AiA is a
deeply personal work which is meant to be emotionally and intellectually provoking. Grief, joy, ecstasy,
and yearning fuel the characters and pages developed here. Also included is a brief analysis by the author
of influential works during the writing of this manuscript. AiA is by no means a finished product
Hydrophilic Pd0Complexes Based on Sugars for Efficient Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling in Aqueous Systems
No full textTwo classes of hydrophilic Pd0 complexes containing P,N and N,N sugar‐based ligands were prepared and tested in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction under environmentally friendly aqueous conditions. The best catalyst was tolerant towards different substrates, and its activity is comparable with the highest values reported so far for reactions in aqueous media [loading 0.0010 %, turnover frequency (TOF) 3.5 × 104 h–1]

The LATQAN Project obtained the digital copies of manuscripts containing Book One of the Canon of Avicenna from twenty different libraries in countries around the world, thus gathering as completely as possible all copies of manuscripts containing this crucial historical text. Through careful compilation, our team has chosen the above core manuscripts. By doing this work, not only have we created public, searchable transcriptions of important texts hitherto available only as fragile, handwritten documents, we are also able to better understand the history of the transmission of this text.

DNA metabarcoding of trawling bycatch reveals diversity and distribution patterns of sharks and rays in the central Tyrrhenian Sea
No full textConservation and management of chondrichthyans are becoming increasingly important, as many species are particularly vulnerable to fishing activities, primarily as bycatch, which leads to incomplete catch reporting, potentially hiding the impact on these organisms. Here, we aimed at implementing an eDNA metabarcoding approach to reconstruct shark and ray bycatch composition from 24 hauls of a bottom trawl fishing vessel in the central Mediterranean. eDNA samples were collected through the passive filtration of seawater by simple gauze rolls encapsulated in a probe (the “metaprobe”), which already showed great efficiency in detecting marine species from trace DNA in the environment. To improve molecular taxonomic detection, we enhanced the 12S target marker reference library by generating sequences for 14 Mediterranean chondrichthyans previously unrepresented in public repositories. DNA metabarcoding data correctly identifies almost all bycaught species and detected five additional species not present in the net, highlighting the potential of this method to detect rare species. Chondrichthyan diversity showed significant association with some key environmental variables (depth and distance from the coast) and the fishing effort, which are known to influence demersal communities. As DNA metabarcoding progressively positions itself as a staple tool for biodiversity monitoring, we expect that its melding with opportunistic, fishery-dependent surveys could reveal additional distribution features of threatened and elusive
megafauna
An adjoint-based shape-optimization method for aerodynamic design
No full textThis thesis presents a shape optimization framework for problems that are encountered routinely in Aerodynamic Design. The nature of the framework is numerical. Its focus is wide as different aspects of the shape optimization practice are treated, e.g., the solution of the flow equations, the sensitivity analysis and the parameterization of the shape. The framework components are not taken as black-boxes but are conceived and implemented within the present work. A considerable part of the thesis describes the characteristics and the implementation of those components. Additional work on unsteady flows, which may find applications in aeroelastic analysis, is presented in the appendix.Design of Aircraft and RotorcraftAerospace Engineerin

Abstract
The contributions of this paper are the result of a thematic review conducted on some of the most relevant scientific contributions and policy guidelines about women’s perception of safety while walking in public spaces. The first part of the review focused on 23 scientific references revolving around the keywords “gender”, “safety” and “walkability”. This led to the establishment of three main Safety Factors: (i) Spatial Features (space characteristics/morphological features); (ii) City Use (traces of behavior and presence of city users); and (iii) Hotspots (safe havens and no-go areas); further resulting in 19 sub-factors. The second part of the review covered a collection of 20 reports and 10 guidelines focused on diverse geographical scales, areas of interest and target audiences, as well as data collection methods. This involved the selection of multiple case studies, which are also presented, thus maintaining a geographically diverse sample. As part of the scientific research project “STEP UP—Walkability for Women in Milan”, the outputs of the proposed thematic review will be exploited to help identify challenging areas of Milan (Italy), as samples of analysis to develop a set of policy recommendations to enhance the level of walkability for women

The different forms of PNS myelin P0 protein within and outside lipid rafts
No full textIt is now well established that plasma membranes, such as the myelin sheath, are made of different microdomains with different
lipid and protein composition. Lipid rafts are made mainly of sphingolipids and cholesterol, whereas the non-raft regions are made mainly of phosphoglycerides. Most myelin proteins may distribute themselves in raft and non-raft microdomains
but the driving force that gives rise to their different
distribution is not known yet. In this paper, we have studied the distribution of protein zero (P0), the most representative protein
of PNS myelin, in the membrane microdomains. To this
end, we have purified P0 from both non-raft (soluble P0, P0-S) and raft (P0-R) regions of PNS. Purified proteins were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and identified and characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization
time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A detailed structural description of the two P0 forms is given in terms of amino acid sequence, post-translational modifications, and composition of associated lipids. Our findings suggest that structural differences
between the two proteins, mainly related to the glycogroups, might be responsible for their different localization

No full textDie vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit dem Projekt "Bilingualen Klassen" der Volksschule lnnere Stadt in Innsbruck als Beispiel einer frühen und individuellen Forderung der Sprachkompetenz von Kindern im Bereich der Sprachen Deutsch/Italienisch.
Seit Bestehen des Schulversuchs "Bilinguale Klassen" wurden vom Autor dieser Dissertation im Laufe der Jahre verschiedene empirische Untersuchungen zum Zweck eines wissenschaftlichen Berichts durchgeführt, dies vor allem (aber nicht ausschließlich) in Bezug auf die schriftliche Sprachentwicklung.
Die wesentlichen Ergebnisse und entsprechenden Schlussfolgerungen daraus werden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit präsentiert.This dissertation concerns the ‘bilingual classes’ project at the Innere Stadt primary school in Innsbruck, Austria, as an example of early and individual promotion of language competency in children using the German and Italian languages as a focus.
Since the establishment of this bilingual classes experiment at the school, the author of this dissertation has conducted diverse empirical research during the course of the year for the purpose of a scientific report, above all (but not exclusively) related to written language development. The significant results of this research and the corresponding conclusions are presented in this dissertation.Mag. phil.
