Gravitational wave luminosity distance for Starobinsky gravity in viscous cosmological models by Jia-nan Chi, Ya-Bo Wu, Yu Sang, Xue Zhang, Yi-liang Hu, Wen-zhong Liu, Bo-hai Chen

“…We observe that, in the range of $$0< z\le 8.2$$ 0 < z ≤ 8.2 , the evolutionary curves of $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) and $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) exhibit that $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) ( $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) ) monotonically decrease (increase) as redshift rises, moreover there are always $$\delta (z)<0$$ δ ( z ) < 0 and $$d_L^{GW}(z)\ge d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) ≥ d L EM ( z ) , specially $$d_L^{GW}(0)=d_L^{EM}(0)$$ d L GW ( 0 ) = d L EM ( 0 ) in the limit of $$z\rightarrow 0$$ z → 0 , which means that detecting GW signals might represent a more efficient tool than detecting EM signals to test modified gravity model on the given scale of cosmic distances. …”

Les aqueducs de Rome : les activités de la Surintendance capitoline, une contribution essentielle à la recherche by Marina Marcelli, Massimiliano Munzi

“…The targets of this analysis were the City Walls and the aqueducts of the Roman and modern eras. The tool used for this purpose is a Geographical Information System (GIS) designed to collect all the information needed to implement maintenance and conservation activities.The focus of the project was the elevated structures of five aqueducts for a total length of approximately 18 km: Aqua Alexandrina, a Neronian aqueduct on the Caelian Hill, and the three still functioning aqueducts (Aqua Virgo, Aqua Traiana and acquedotto Felice).Carried out by a multidisciplinary team (archaeologists, architects, restorers), the project consisted of assessments of the risk status of the structures based on parameters of various types, such as biological damage, structural and surface degradation, humidity-related phenomena. …”
