Small points on subvarieties of a torus
Get PDFLet V be a subvariety of a torus defined over the algebraic numbers. We give a qualitative and quantitative description of the set of points of V of height bounded by invariants associated to any variety containing V . Especially, we determine whether such a set is or is not dense in V . We then prove that these sets can always be written as the intersection of V with a finite union of translates of tori of which we control the sum of the degrees. As a consequence, we prove a conjecture by the first author and David up to a logarithmic factor
Alepes vari Cuvier 1833
No full textAlepes vari (Cuvier, 1833) Figure 3 Caranx vari Cuvier in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1833: 48 (type locality, Pondicherry, India). Alepes vari Smith-Vaniz in Carpenter & Niem, 2000: 2690, fig. (western Pacific to east coast of Africa). Diagnosis. Dorsal-fin rays VIII + I, 24–27; anal-fin rays II + I, 20–23; scales in curved part of lateral line 42–50 (of which 0–2 posteriorly are scutes); straight part of lateral line with 0–7 scales and 48–69 scutes; gill rakers (including rudiments) 9–12 + 23–26; body moderately elongate, the depth about 3.0– 3.5 in fork length; maxilla nearly straight posteriorly; supramaxilla relatively large with an anterior, spine-like projection; last ray of second dorsal and anal fins subequal to penultimate ray; bluish silver dorsally, silvery on side and ventrally, with a diffuse blackish blotch posteriorly on opercle at level of eye; posterior margin of caudal fin blackish. Largest specimen, 56 cm TL. Distribution. Ranges from the southern Red Sea and Arabian Gulf in continental waters of south Asia to northwestern and northern Australia, throughout the Indo-Malayan region, and north to Okinawa. Remarks. The Red Sea record is based on the underwater photograph of Figure 3 taken by the second author at the Hanish Islands, Yemen (13 ° 45 ʹ N, 42 ° 45 ʹ E). The identification as Alepes vari was confirmed by William F. Smith-Vaniz. This carangid fish is usually seen in shallow coastal waters, including mangrove areas, often in small groups. It feeds mainly on the larger crustaceans of the zooplankton and small fishes.Published as part of Bogorodsky, Sergey V., Randall, John E. & Golani, Daniel, 2011, Four new records of shore fishes for the Red Sea, with notes on Parupeneus heptacanthus and Diodon liturosus, pp. 49-60 in Zootaxa 3057 on pages 52-53, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20276

Snout elongate, compressed and slightly curved ventrally along anterior portion. Mouth terminal to very slightly anterodorsally orientated and relatively small with distinct fleshy pad at anterior of lower jaw. Rictus located anterior to vertical through anterior naris.

L'Italia al Palazzo di Vetro : aspetti dell'azione diplomatica e della presenza italiana all'ONU
Get PDFCreare un legame tra mondo universitario, diplomazia
italiana e Nazioni Unite. Questo l’obiettivo principale del volume,frutto di un progetto di collaborazione tra la Rappresentanza permanente d’Italia presso le Nazioni Unite di New York e l’Università degli Studi di Trento. Il volume raccoglie un ciclo di videoconferenze svoltesi nel 2004 sull’attività italiana in ambito ONU. Un obiettivo davvero ambizioso. L’azione diplomatica del nostro Paese al Palazzo di Vetro di New York ha infatti diverse sfaccettature e spazia in vari settori, da quello più propriamente politico ad altri più tecnici o di natura scientifica. L’iniziativa delle videoconferenze è stata fondamentalmente diretta a fornire alcuni esempi sull’operato dell’Italia all’ONU a New
York e sulle nuove sfide a cui l’Organizzazione sta andando
incontro. L’Italia, che è uno dei principali contribuenti, sia per quanto riguarda il bilancio regolare dell'Organizzazione sia nell’ambito delle operazioni di peace-keeping e di peace-building,rimane in prima fila nelle diverse attività dell’ONU. I nostri diplomatici operano, giorno dopo giorno, all’interno del Palazzo di
Vetro, rappresentando l’Italia nella miriade di organismi che fanno capo all’ONU e cercando un sostegno per le tematiche che più stanno a cuore al nostro Paese.
Il volume costituisce uno dei pochi casi in cui diplomatici ed esperti che collaborano con il Ministero degli Affari Esteri descrivono le modalità attraverso cui si sviluppa l’azione concreta del nostro Paese a New York. Un’azione che troppo spesso rimane sconosciuta ai più. Le Nazioni Unite, al contrario, rappresentano un’arena internazionale in cui governi dei Paesi membri, i gruppi regionali, le organizzazioni non governative e la società civile si
confrontano, con l’obiettivo primario di promuovere la democrazia, i diritti umani e la pace e la sicurezza nel mondo
Knowledge sharing is the key for the progress of science
No full textScientists should share their raw data in ways that are easily accessible and digestible, and it is necessary that the published findings can be reanalyzed or replicated by others. Scientists need to publish the methods and findings more completely and science should be more transparent. Production of new knowledge in medicine is immeasurably facilitated by the enrichment of opportunities provided by efficient trans-national multidisciplinary scientific partnerships and collaborations like the RECOOP HST Association. The RECOOP HST Association enables the opportunity for development of diverse talents in different specialties, all geared towards sharing and integrating knowledge
