Self-Consistent Nuclear Shell-Model Calculation Starting from a Realistic NN Potential
First self-consistent realistic shell-model calculation for the light p-shell
nuclei is performed, starting from the high-precision nucleon-nucleon (NN)
CD-Bonn potential. This realistic potential is renormalized deriving a
low-momentum NN potential V-low-k that preserves exactly the two-nucleon
low-energy physics. This V-low-k is suitable to derive a self-consistent
Hartree-Fock basis that is employed to derive both effective single-particle
energies and residual two-body matrix elements for the shell-model hamiltonian.
Results obtained show the reliability of such a fundamental microscopic
approach.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, 8 tables, to be published on Physics Letters
Reciprocal Association of Plasma IGF-1 and Interleukin-6 Levels With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Nondiabetic Subjects
OBJECTIVE—To examine the relationship between plasma IGF-1 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in Caucasian nondiabetic subjects and evaluate the association of IGF-1 and IL-6 with the cardiometabolic risk factors characterizing metabolic syndrome (MetS)
Structure of exotic nuclei around double shell closures
In this paper, we first give a brief review of the theoretical framework for
microscopic shell-model calculations starting from the free nucleon-nucleon
potential. In this context, we discuss the use of the low-momentum
nucleon-nucleon interaction V-low-k in the derivation of the shell-model
effective interaction and emphasize its practical value as an alternative to
the Brueckner G-matrix method. Then, we present some results of our current
study of exotic nuclei around doubly magic 132Sn, which have been obtained
starting from the CD-Bonn potential renormalized by use of the V-low-k
approach. Attention is focused on the nuclei 134Te, 134Sn, and 136Te, in
particular on the latter which is a direct source of information on the
proton-neutron effective interaction in the 132Sn region. Comparison shows that
our results are in very good agreement with the available experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Prog. Part. Nucl. Phy
Activity of a Pediatric Emergency Department of a Tertiary Center in Bologna, Italy, during SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic
During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the pediatric emergency department (ED) of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy faced a reorganization to better deal with the new clinical needs. We herein describe the main changes in the organization and in the attendances to our pediatric ED. From the 1 March 2020 to the 31 January 2022, 796 children positive for SARS-CoV-2 presented to our pediatric ED, but only 26 required hospitalizations, of which only 9 for COVID-19 related reasons. During this period, we also registered a temporal correlation between multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) admissions and the peaks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Italian population. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remained during last year the viral infection with the highest hospitalization rate. The analysis and description of the changes in the activity of the pediatric ED during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic may help to better understand the routinary activity and be prepared for any possible new challenge
A monitoring tool for a GRID operation center
WorldGRID is an intercontinental testbed spanning Europe and the US
integrating architecturally different Grid implementations based on the Globus
toolkit. The WorldGRID testbed has been successfully demonstrated during the
WorldGRID demos at SuperComputing 2002 (Baltimore) and IST2002 (Copenhagen)
where real HEP application jobs were transparently submitted from US and Europe
using "native" mechanisms and run where resources were available, independently
of their location. To monitor the behavior and performance of such testbed and
spot problems as soon as they arise, DataTAG has developed the EDT-Monitor tool
based on the Nagios package that allows for Virtual Organization centric views
of the Grid through dynamic geographical maps. The tool has been used to spot
several problems during the WorldGRID operations, such as malfunctioning
Resource Brokers or Information Servers, sites not correctly configured, job
dispatching problems, etc. In this paper we give an overview of the package,
its features and scalability solutions and we report on the experience acquired
and the benefit that a GRID operation center would gain from such a tool.Comment: Talk from the 2003 Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics

Proton-Neutron Interaction near Closed Shells
Odd-odd nuclei around double shell closures are a direct source of
information on the proton-neutron interaction between valence nucleons. We have
performed shell-model calculations for doubly odd nuclei close to Pb,
Sn and Sn using realistic effective interactions derived from
the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The calculated results are compared with
the available experimental data, attention being focused on particle-hole and
particle-particle multiplets. While a good agreement is obtained for all the
nuclei considered, a detailed analysis of the matrix elements of the effective
interaction shows that a stronger core-polarization contribution seems to be
needed in the particle-particle case.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, Proccedings of the International Conference
