Europe/Rome The workshop introduces young and established nuclear scientists to the evaluation of nuclear structure and decay data, by providing an overview of experimental and theoretical nuclear techniques and basic training in the evaluation procedures and formats involved in the production of the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF). Reliable evaluated nuclear structure and decay data are of vital importance for basic nuclear physics and astrophysics, as well as for nuclear applications such as power generation, material analysis, dosimetry and medical diagnostics. These important data requirements are catered by the international network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (NSDD) Evaluators, created in 1974 and coordinated by the IAEA. The main output of this network is the recommended ENSDF database and evaluations published in Nuclear Data Sheets. This workshop belongs to a series of ICTP workshops that started in 2003 and have been crucial for attracting young nuclear scientists to nuclear structure and decay data evaluation and for providing them with the basic tools to pursue this activity. TOPICS: modern nuclear experimental techniques & facilities; nuclear structure models; nuclear structure and decay data: compilations and evaluations; evaluation methodologies for nuclear structure and decay data; analysis and utility codes; ENSDF editors and Web tools; databases and online retrieval software. CALL FOR PAPERS A session will be held during the workshop for participants to present their work related to nuclear structure and decay data. Please upload a one-page abstract directly to the on-line application. (upload file attachments in pdf) GRANTS A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.

Europe/Rome Regional climate models (RCMs) have become important tools to study climate variability and change at regional scales. They can also be used to provide climate change information for impact and adaptation studies. Within the context of RCM research, the Coordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) provides the basis for generating multi-model RCM-based projections over regions Worldwide. The community of users of the ICTP regional model RegCM is one of the most active in contributing to the CORDEX program and in involving the scientific community from developing countries in climate change research. With the aim of enlarging and strengthening the RegCM user community, the ICTP organizes a series of training workshops in different regions of the World. This workshop represents the second of a series of RegCM training activities in Southeast Asia, and includes the following lectures: * Climate and climate change over the South-east Asia region * Regional climate modeling and the physical processes that regulate regional climate variability and change * Regional modeling for the South-east Asia region * Hands-on sessions on the structure and use of the RegCM model (latest release RegCM4). * Discussion of the contribution of the RegCM community to the CORDEX initiative * Discussion of future developments of the RegCM system Hanoi - Viet Nam ICTP pio@ictp.it

**DEADLINE: 23/09/2018**

Europe/Rome We demonstrate the existence of a new quantum phase of matter that arises in antiferromagnetic spin chains with a weak frustration -just one bond in a large chain-. This is the case, for instance, of systems with an odd number of spins with periodic boundary conditions. Such new phase is extended, gapless, but not relativistic: the low-energy excitations have a quadratic (Galilean) spectrum. Locally, the correlation functions on the ground state do not show significant deviations compared to the non-frustrated case, but correlators involving a number of sites (or distances) scaling like the system size display new behaviors. In particular, the von Neumann entanglement entropy is found to follow new rules, for which neither area law applies, nor one has a divergence of the entropy with the system size. Such very long-range correlations are novel and of potential technological interest. We display such new phase in a few prototypical chains using numerical simulations and we study analytically the paradigmatic example of the Ising chain. Through these examples we argue that this phase emerges generally in (weakly) frustrated systems with discrete symmetries.

Europe/Rome I will show how hydrodynamic diffusion is generically present in many-body one-dimensional interacting quantum and classical integrable models. I will extend the recently developed generalised hydrodynamic (GHD) to include terms of Navier-Stokes type which lead to positive entropy production and diffusive relaxation mechanisms. These terms provide the subleading diffusive corrections to Euler-scale GHD for the large-scale non-equilibrium dynamics of integrable systems, and arise due to two-body scatterings among the quasiparticles of the model. Moreover I will show how with some particular choice of Hamiltonian interactions, the diffusion constant relative to the spin or charge degrees of freedom diverges, signaling the presence of super diffusive transport.

Europe/Rome Abstract. Axions are a potential dark matter candidate, which may condense and form self gravitating compact objects, called axion stars. In recent work, we studied head-on collisions of relativistic axion stars with black holes and neutron stars. In the black hole case we find that relatively large scalar clouds are produced by mergers of low compactness axion stars and black holes with intermediate spins, which provides a dynamical mechanism for the formation of long lived scalar hair. For neutron star collisions we find that in the critical limit of black hole formation, the collision gives rise to a large ejection of baryonic mass from the system, purely due to gravitational effects. This could give rise to electromagnetic observables in addition to their gravitational wave signatures. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome > > IMPORTANT: NEW SCHOOL'S DATES 10-16 DECEMBER 2018 < < West African climate is characterized by complex atmospheric dynamics and growing anthropogenic pressures. These pressures, combined with climate change and variability, have many environmental impacts. Regional climate models include now capabilities such as interactive coupling with oceans, surface hydrology, atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Combined with process study and observation analysis, such systems are interesting frameworks for impact assessments over West Africa. However their complexity is such that they require high computing power and appropriate “know-how”. This point has motivated the recent development of a supercomputing center at the University of Abidjan. In this context, the school proposes theoretical and practical computing sessions on regional climate and environmental modeling. It is co-organized with the final conference of the DACCIWA project (https://www.dacciwa.eu/) so that participants can benefit from both of these events. Participants are required to have a pre-existing background in Atmospheric / Earth system science and be familiar with Linux/Unix environment. English will be the spoken language during theoretical and practical sessions. Topics: Basis of regional climate and Earth System modeling Examples of climate and Earth system studies over sub-Saharan Africa Extensive hands-on regional climate and Earth system modeling sessions using HPC facilities Review and discussion of on-going projects involving climate and Earth system modeling over sub-Saharan Africa Beyond the school : Identification of regional working groups, projects and networks Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome * * Online application now open! Deadline for application: 2 November 2018 * * Several million chemical compounds are known, but with 118 chemical elements the number of compounds that are stable and could be synthesized is potentially much larger. The Workshop focuses on recent developments in the prediction of crystal structures by computational methods. Thanks to enormous progresses in computational power and in algorithm development, we are now closer to the possibility to predict the structure of a material from the simple knowledge of its composition. This Workshop will be dedicated to presenting and discussing the algorithms for in-silico crystal structure prediction that were developed in the last years, focusing in particular on the approaches based on molecular modeling. We find particularly appropriate holding this conference in 2019, the International Year of the Periodic Table, since crystal structure prediction is rooted in a deep knowledge of the properties of the atoms. The Workshop will be divided into two parts: the first 3 days will be dedicated to an advanced discussion of the latest advances in the field and last 2 days will be dedicated to hands-on tutorials with structure prediction methods in combination with electronic structure and atomistic methods. A Poster Session will also be organized, and interested candidates are invited to upload a short abstract of their proposed posters during the application process (max. half page, in pdf format).

The one-week school on mathematical models on evolution, co-organized with the ICTP-SAIFR, UNESP, FAPESP and IFT-UNESP, will feature lectures by physicists and applied biologists who have made important contributions to this area of biological research. The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological sciences. This activity will be preceded by the ‘VIII Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools, and preference will be given to PhD students in South America. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses. Lecturers and courses: Population genetics and evolution – Luca Peliti (SMRI, Italy) Understanding how genetic information is transmitted across generations is at the basis of evolutionary theory. This course will review the mechanisms of reproduction, selection, mutation and drift and will be the backbone for the more specific courses below. Evolution of individuality – Paul Rainey (IAS – Massey University, New Zeland) The origins of multicellularity and cell differentiation are profound problems in biology. Overview of theory and recent experiments. The evolution of immune systems – Curtis Callan (Princeton University, USA) The immune system has the ability to respond to arbitrary pathogens. Using samples from mice it has been possible to track the evolution of the immune system from embryo to adult, revealing surprising differences between species. Ecology and evolution of viruses – Joshua Weitz (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Viruses shape the fate of cells, populations, and ecosystems. These lectures will provide an overview of the nonlinear dynamics of viruses and their microbial hosts, including theory, models, and evidence for the joint influence of population and evolutionary dynamics. The program will be available in December 2018 Click here for online application Application deadline: November 4, 2018 Sao Paulo - Brazil ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome One key feature of the Internet of Things is the ability to rapidly create IoT applications, including scientific ones. This will allow collecting data from dozens, or even hundreds of low-cost, low-power scientific instruments. The lack of scientific data is an issue especially in Developing Countries, where the number of monitoring stations in limited and where data is unreliable due to lack of connectivity/intermittent power supply/poor maintenance. In order to address this demand, we propose the use of low-cost and low-power IoT nodes to complement the already deployed high-cost sparse networks for scientific data collection. While the IoT array will have inferior measurement accuracy due to the low-cost nature of the sensors, the high spatial density of the array is unique and will prove invaluable for research and operational applications. This workshop is intended to share good practices on how IoT nodes can be rapidly prototyped to carry out scientific measurements. Following a seven days hands-on technical workshop, participants will focus for two days on the requirements to develop three applications: radiation monitoring, oceanographic devices and weather stations. On the last day, the participants will share the results of their discussions/experiments. A basic knowledge of the Python language will be highly appreciated. TOPICS: Prototyping of embedded boards Introduction to microPython LoRa and LoRaWAN protocols Characteristics of analog and digital sensors Collection, analysis and the visualization of data Sensor requirements for radiative and oceanic monitoring and weather stations GRANTS: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.

Europe/Rome The school will focus on the organization of convection in the tropics and its possible implications for climate sensitivity. Some idealized convection permitting models show spontaneous clustering of convection can occur, drying the tropical atmosphere and increasing infrared emission to space. This effect could imply a strong negative feedback on the climate that may be missing or poorly represented in global climate models. However, there is open debate concerning the mechanisms involved, the implications for climate, the evidence in the observations, the role of shallow clouds and convection, the spatial scales of instability and the connection of this idealized aggregation to common examples of tropical organization such as the Madden Julian Oscillation or tropical cyclones. The event will consist of a one-week school, with some introductory lectures and the chance to work with observations and model output to address questions related to convective organization. In the second week, participants will benefit from open debate with over 20 of the world’s leading scientists in the field. Experts will work with student groups to summarize the debates in position papers, including results from the first week’s exercises. Topics: • Models of radiative-convective equilibrium • Convective organization in high resolution models • Evidence for organization in observations • Implications for climate and climate sensitivity • Representation in global models and their parameterization schemes • Connection to MJO, hurricanes and other examples of convective organization Invited speakers include: Biasutti, Michela, IRI Columbia U., USA Bordoni, Simona, Caltech, USA Bretherton, Chris, Seattle U., USA Chaboreau, Jean-Pierre, Toulouse U./CNRS, France Craig, George, LMU, Germany Emanuel, Kerry, MIT, USA Grabowski, Wojciech, UCAR, USA Jakob, Christian, Monash, Australia Khairoutdinov, Marat, Stonybrook U., USA Khouider, Boualem, Victoria U., Canada Mapes, Brian, RSMAS Miami, USA Moncrieff, Mitch, UCAR, USA Neelin, David, UCLA, USA Pincus, Rob, NOAA, USA Randall, David, CSU, USA Semie Gezahegn, Addisu, LMD, France Sherwood,Steve, UNSW,Australia Stevens, Bjorn, MPI, Germany Stirling, Alison, Met Office, U.K. Vallis, Geoff K., Exeter U., U.K. Wing, Allison, FSU, USA Woolnough, Steve, Reading U., U.K. Yang, Da, Berkley U., USA Zuidema, Paquita, RSMAS Miami, USA ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The School is a certificate course providing specialized education and training on development and implementation of knowledge management programmes in nuclear science and technology organizations. It is intended for young professionals in current or future leading roles in managing nuclear knowledge. Jointly organized by ICTP and the IAEA since 2004, this Nuclear Knowledge Management (NKM) School focuses on methodologies and practices, and explores various dimensions of nuclear knowledge management. These include processes and tools, challenges and benefits, culture influence, relationship with human resource development, IT for knowledge preservation and sharing. Learning is supplemented with real life examples from NKM programmes in different types of nuclear organizations. The aim is to encourage ‘forward thinking’ and to enable participants to apply theory and insights in their daily work. Pre-training is done via e-learning for a common understanding of the basics, allowing a more efficient interaction with peers and lecturers during the in-class School. Lectures at the ICTP by recognized experts are followed by case studies, practical work and breakout sessions where participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues and solutions. NKM group projects are also developed over the week. Shortlisted candidates will undergo an on-line pre- training course and a test, the results of which will be one of the elements to define the final list of participants. TOPICS: Nuclear knowledge and knowledge management fundamentals; Developing policies and strategies in managing nuclear knowledge; Managing nuclear information resources; Human resources development; Risk of knowledge loss and knowledge transfer; Practical guidance and good practices on NKM METHODOLOGIES: Blended learning course; Oriented to practical exercises and group projects; Additional continuous education certificate provided by MEPhI University, Russian Federation, after successful completion. GRANTS: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
