Innovative technologies for safer European coasts in a changing climate
No full textTHESEUS project is developing a systematic approach to delivering both a low-risk coast for human use and healthy habitats for evolving coastal zones subject to multiple change factors. The project examines innovative mitigation and adaptation technologies and integrate the best of these technical measures in a strategic policy context through overarching guidelines. THESEUS activities are carried out within a multidisciplinary framework using 8 study sites across Europe, with specific attention to the most vulnerable coastal environments such as deltas, estuaries and wetlands, where many large cities and industrial areas are located
Modelling coastal risk at Cesenatico, Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy
No full textThis paper analyses the vulnerability to flood hazard of Cesenatico, Italy, a low-lying site facing the Northern Adriatic Sea. Key elements characterizing the site are high subsidence, beach erosion, high touristic value, complex urban drainage system. The site is first examined by means of the Source-Pathways-Receptors-Consequences model. Then new climate scenarios based on a long-term join statistics of waves and surges are developed and adopted in 2DH numerical modelling to derive flood extension and velocity
Unconventional Superconductivity and Density Waves in Twisted Bilayer Graphene
No full textWe study electronic ordering instabilities of twisted bilayer graphene around the filling of n=2 electrons per supercell, where correlated insulator state and superconductivity have been recently observed. Motivated by the Fermi surface nesting and the proximity to Van Hove singularity, we introduce a hot-spot model to study the effect of various electron interactions systematically. Using the renormalization group method, we find that d or p-wave superconductivity and charge or spin density wave emerge as the two types of leading instabilities driven by Coulomb repulsion. The density-wave state has a gapped energy spectrum around n=2 and yields a single doubly degenerate pocket upon doping to n>2. The intertwinement of density wave and superconductivity and the quasiparticle spectrum in the density-wave state are consistent with experimental observations.

Elevated mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) antibody titer in Japanese multiple sclerosis
No full textTo investigate whether antibody production against mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is related to clinical characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, IgG antibody against three MAP peptides and two human peptides homologous to MAP were measured in sera from 103 MS patients and 50 healthy controls (HCs). MS patients had higher IgG levels against MAP2694295–303 (MAP2694-IgG) than HCs, while the other antibodies were comparable. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that higher MAP2694-IgG titers were associated with higher EDSS scores, but not with HLA alleles or dairy product consumption. Immune response against MAP may worsen MS disability

Clear transparent cellulose nanopaper prepared from a concentrated dispersion by high-humidity drying
No full textN. Isobe, T. Kasuga and M. Nogi. Clear transparent cellulose nanopaper prepared from a concentrated dispersion by high-humidity drying. RSC Adv., 2018, 8, 1833. https://doi.org/10.1039/C7RA12672G.Optically transparent cellulose nanopaper is a promising candidate for flexible device substrates because of its light weight, surface smoothness, and high dimensional stability with respect to temperature. Conventionally, clear transparent nanopaper has been fabricated from cellulose nanofiber dispersions with quite low concentration: less than 0.5 wt%. However, this diluteness leads to several problems, such as huge energy consumption and long operation time for drying. Therefore, nanopaper should be fabricated from a concentrated dispersion to mitigate these problems. In this study, transparent nanopaper was fabricated from cellulose nanofiber dispersions with various concentrations (0.24-1.81 wt%). Optical experiments revealed that the haze of the transparent nanopaper increased monotonically with cellulose nanofiber dispersion concentration, when the cellulose nanofiber dispersion was prepared from holocellulose pulp and conventional over-drying was applied. Based on our insight into the origin of this increase in the haze of transparent nanopaper, we developed high-humidity drying, which successfully produced clear transparent nanopaper from a concentrated dispersion without prolonged drying time
Understanding Phase Shifting Equivalent Keys and Exhaustive Search
No full textRecent articles~\cite{kucuk,ckp08,isobe,cryptoeprint:2008:128} introduce the concept of phase shifting equivalent keys in stream ciphers, and exploit this concept in order to mount attacks on some specific ciphers. The idea behind phase shifting equivalent keys is that, for many ciphers, each internal state can be considered as the result of an injection of a key and initialization vector. This enables speeding up the standard exhaustive search algorithm among the possible keys by decreasing the constant factor of in the time complexity of the algorithm. However, this has erroneously been stated in~\cite{isobe,cryptoeprint:2008:128} as decreasing the complexity of the algorithm below . In this note, we show why this type of attacks, using phase shifting equivalent keys to improve exhaustive key search, can never reach time complexity below , where is the size of the key space
