Preschool Children’s Audio–Visual Contents: Comparing Value, Educational and Narrative Approaches by Lorenzo Denicolai, Valentina Domenici

“…On the other hand, we analyse two animated films, which are true ‘cinematographic’ texts (Room on the Broom; The Snail and the Whale), designed, however, for television and which respond more to the need to convey educational values of a general and human–identity nature. …”

Post-Harvest Warehouse Management of Actinidia arguta Fruits by Nicole Roberta Giuggioli, Rossella Briano, Claudio Baudino, Cristiana Peano

“…Hortgem Rua® and Hortgem Tahi® cultivars of kiwifruits were evaluated during storage at 1±1°C for up to 60 days. The stretch wrap film used to protect the fruit has shown to limit the weight loss maintained by the pulp of both cultivars that were firmer (2.39 N and 2.13 N) and had lower gumminess values (280.92 and 213.57 for Hortgem Rua® and Hortgem Tahi®, respectively). …”

Parallel tempered Bayesian inference for characterizing non-ideal semiconductors: Carrier trapping in cadmium telluride thin films by Calvin Fai, Anthony J.C. Ladd, Charles J. Hages, Gregory A. Manoukian, Jason B. Baxter

“…A “parallel tempering” scheme is introduced, which efficiently and reliably locates the global maximum in the complex multimodal distributions that are characteristic of cadmium telluride (CdTe) films. Our results show that the standard carrier transport model cannot explain the observed decay of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) data from CdTe films and that there is carrier trapping within low-lying defect states. …”
