For that reason, this issue has been one of the many repercussions configured as something of a retrospective of the past decade, was that the whole College – although it also showcases recent research successes, and staff and students – were so introduces the college community to seven new professors. overwhelmed by the demands of As they recount in their interviews, many of these professors started working in Trinity either just before, or shortly after, transitioning to online working, the college went into lockdown so they have yet to experience teaching, learning and research our university thronged with staff, students and visitors, and that there was no Provost’s busy with events. As I write the college and the city have begun Review to capture and celebrate to open up, cautiously. But the delta variant is all over the news, with predictions of yet another wave. While we all look the achievements of the forward to life returning to the classrooms, labs, and libraries, academic year 2019/20. the future is not yet certain. To make up for missing a year, this issue showcases an increased number of research projects. Unsurprisingly, there is a Covid angle to some of these projects, either directly – see Catherine Comiskey, ‘The epidemiology of Covid-19 and addiction’, p.38 and David Kenny, ‘Keeping track of the law in Ireland during Covid-19’, p.56 – or tangentially, in ‘Enabling translational nanomedicine’, p.52, Adriele Prina-Mello points out that the mRNA Covid vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are nanovaccines and in ‘Future Technologies for Communication’ p.50 Rachel McDonnell looks at ways to use Augmented Reality (AR) to improve natural interaction in video conferencing, something which became particularly pertinent in this last Trinity College Dublin – The University of Dublin ≥ I hope that, like me, you come away with a renewed sense of enthusiasm for all that has been achieved and will be achieved at Trinity, and the difference this makes, not only to our students and staff, but to Dublin and Ireland and to education and research globally.

We are delighted A university is of course the sum of its education and and proud to place our research at the centre of improving research activities but it goes deeper than that. A university people’s lives. is also an idea and a place. This past year we have proved Our university mission is multifaceted and this is that we can teach, learn and research online and that’s really reflected across this Review with chapters on education, important and something we want to build on for the future. access, sport, innovation and entrepreneurship, the student But a university like Trinity cannot be entirely remote or virtual. experience, philanthropy and alumni engagement and capital It’s a physical place and that is showcased beautifully in two development projects.

It has been a huge honour – with never a dull moment – to lead this great university over the past decade. I’ve had the privilege of working with outstanding people who have helped bring about the many achievements described here in this Review. With such staff, students and alumni, Trinity can only go from strength to strength, and I wish Linda Doyle, who comes into office as Provost on August 1st, the very best with realising her ambitions for this great university.

This association was created 82 years ago by visionaries and developed by indi- viduals unified by a common mission. Of course, the world has changed over time and to disre- gard the current economy would be fatal. This is undoubtedly the major challenge for the coming years. Addressing it will require men and women who, without losing sight of our founding princi- ples, can also provide new solutions. The required solidarity in a world defined by inequalities is the vital spark igniting FIBA’s humanist work.

  • The Economic and Legal Aspects of Transfers of Players
    KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players The Economic and Legal Aspects of Transfers of Players JANUARY 2013 KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Transfer of Players in Sport Professional transfers are regulated by a complex set of regulations established by sports governing bodies. Rules are subject to a large degree of standardisation at international level through international sports institutions such as FIFA for football and FIBA for basketball. The justification for international standardisation stems from the ambition to make competition rules universal in order to promote international sporting exchanges. The extensive autonomy granted to sporting bodies for the self-regulation of their activities is a fundamental characteristic of sport as compared to other economic and social activities. The transfer environment is subject to different layers of rules and regulations. The study aims to document the different layers of rules and to consider their interactions. Transfer rules in sport are a derogation from normal employment practices in the following ways: i) They limit the freedom of players to move from one employer to another and set restrictive conditions for such moves. Contracts may be terminated by either party without consequences (such as sporting sanctions) only if justified by “just cause”1; ii) They establish a system of transfer fees between clubs in order to prevent a total ban on players’ mobility.

  • Plasmonic Nanocavity Modes: from Near-Field to Far-Field Radiation Nuttawut Kongsuwan, Angela Demetriadou, Matthew Horton, Rohit Chikkaraddy, Jeremy J
    pubs.acs.org/journal/apchd5 Article Plasmonic Nanocavity Modes: From Near-Field to Far-Field Radiation Nuttawut Kongsuwan, Angela Demetriadou, Matthew Horton, Rohit Chikkaraddy, Jeremy J. Baumberg,* and Ortwin Hess* Cite This: https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsphotonics.9b01445 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: In the past decade, advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of plasmonic nanocavities that facilitate light−matter strong coupling in ambient conditions. The most robust example is the nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) structure whose geometry is controlled with subnanometer precision. The excited plasmons in such nanocavities are extremely sensitive to the exact morphology of the nanocavity, giving rise to unexpected optical behaviors. So far, most theoretical and experimental studies on such nanocavities have been based solely on their scattering and absorption properties. However, these methods do not provide a complete optical description of the nanocavities. Here, the NPoM is treated as an open nonconservative system supporting a set of photonic quasinormal modes (QNMs). By investigating the morphology-dependent optical properties of nanocavities, we propose a simple yet comprehensive nomenclature based on spherical harmonics and report spectrally overlapping bright and dark nanogap eigenmodes. The near-field and far-field optical properties of NPoMs are explored and reveal intricate multimodal interactions. KEYWORDS: plasmonics, nanophotonics, nanocavities, quasinormal mode, near-to-far-field transformation etallic nanostructures have the ability to confine light resonances from far-field spectral peaks. Although significant M below the diffraction limit via the collective excitation of information can be obtained from the far-field spectra, they do conduction electrons, called localized surface plasmons.
