description: Sviluppo di un sistema gestionale per l’archiviazione di metadati e documenti relativi a prodotti della ricerca INFN. Il sistema qui descritto è parte di un progetto più ampio, coordinato con il gruppo OpenScience e il Gruppo di Lavoro sulla Valutazione dell’INFN mirato allo sviluppo di un CRIS (Current Research Information System) d’Istituto. Il sistema gestionale è progettato per fornire servizi di archiviazione e gestione dei dati relativi a prodotti della ricerca, interoperando con servizi e banche dati interni (GODiVA, Zenodo, GLVsoft) ed esterni (Clarivate, Scopus, DOI) al fine di costruire un repository autoritativo e integrato a supporto di attività gestionali, di archivio, divulgazione, monitoraggio e valutazione. Questo lavoro nasce con il superamento del concetto di “Database delle Pubblicazioni”, inteso come mirror o archivio di metadati e punta, invece, sullo sviluppo di un sistema di “transito” e arricchimento delle informazioni nell’ambito di una rete di “produttori” e “consumatori” di dati sulla produttività scientifica dell’Ente. Tale sistema ha la capacità di acquisire, far coesistere e collegare informazioni provenienti da fonti diverse, al fine di generare un patrimonio informativo complesso attraverso interfacce (UI/API) e meccanismi semi-supervisionati di machine learning.

Behavioural bone-conduction responses of infants 7-30 months of age to warbled-tone stimuli
Creators: name: Hulecki, Lauren Rachel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of the present study is to obtain behavioural bone-conduction thresholds of infants 7-15 and 18-30 months of age using a clinical visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) protocol to determine whether frequency-dependent patterns exist. Assessment of boneconduction hearing is an essential component of an audiological test battery because it provides the information necessary to differentiate between sensorineural, conductive and mixed hearing losses. Many studies investigated the maturation of air- and/or bone-conduction thresholds in infants using objective physiological measures, such as the auditory brainstem response (ABR) and the auditory steady-state response (ASSR), reporting infant-adult differences in air- and bone-conduction hearing sensitivities. Also, frequency-dependent differences have been reported where air-conduction thresholds are better in the high- compared to low-frequencies while boneconduction thresholds are better in the low- compared to high-frequencies. These differences reveal a low-frequency “maturational” air-bone gap, which reflects a stimulus calibration issue rather than a conductive pathology. Only one published study has reported behavioural boneconduction thresholds for infants (Gravel, 1989). However, maturational changes in boneconduction hearing sensitivity have not been directly investigated using behavioural methods. The present study behaviourally assesses bone-conduction thresholds across frequency (500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz) using a clinical VRA protocol for normal-hearing infants 7-15 and 18- 30 months of age. It is hypothesized that the frequency-dependent differences identified for infants using objective techniques will be comparable to the results obtained behaviourally. Therefore, it is expected that all infants tested will have better low- compared to high-frequency thresholds which will become more adult-like with age. Results of this study indicated that, when measured behaviourally, infant’s show frequency-dependent bone-conduction thresholds where their responses at 500 and 1000 Hz are significantly better than those at 2000 and 4000 Hz. Compared to previously documented air-conduction thresholds of infants using similar VRA techniques, there is a difference between air- and bone-conduction thresholds in the low frequencies. However, thresholds obtained from the younger group of infants (mean age of I 0.6 months) were not significantly different from those obtained from the older group of infants (mean age of 23.0 months) at any frequency, suggesting minimal maturational changes in bone conduction hearing sensitivity between these groups.
BRACHIOPODS FROM THE TYPE-SECTION OF THE BITHYNIAN SUBSTAGE  (ANISIAN, MIDDLE TRIASSIC, NORTHWESTERN TURKEY)

Subjects: Brachiopoda; Nodular Limestone; biostratigraphy; chronostratigraphy; paleobiogeography.

description: The Bithynian substage of the Anisian stage (Middle Triassic) was established by Assereto in the Gebze area (Kocaeli peninsula, northwestern Turkey), within the middle member of Nodular Limestone formation, now included in the Tepeköy Formation. The rich fauna, represented by conodonts, foraminifera and ammonoids, was described since a long time. The brachiopod fauna occurring in the Bithynian type-section is here revised. It consists of four species: Austriellula kavakensis (Arthaber, 1914), Holchorhynchella edhemi (Toula, 1896), Ptychomentzelia propontica (Toula, 1896), and Angustothyris angustaeformis (Böckh, 1872). The fauna is mostly endemic, with high number of specimens for the first three quoted species. Rare specimens of P. propontica occur also in the lower member of the Nodular Limestone, who delivered the conodont Neogondolella regalis, suggesting an Aegean age. The brachiopod fauna of the Bithynian substage continues upward with rare specimens in the lowermost part of the overlying Pelsonian succession. In the Illyrian, very rare “Rhynchonella” tscharkensis Arthaber, 1914, and Koeveskallina koeveskalyensis (Stur, 1865) were found. The Bithynian brachiopod fauna from Gebze has no counterpart in the Europe and in the surrounding regions, like Northern Caucasus and Aghdarband in Iran, even if some of the ammonoids found in Gebze are also present in the these areas.

description: We present a new approach to the induction detection of electron spin resonance (ESR) signals exploiting the nonlinear properties of a superconducting resonator. Our experiments employ a yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) superconducting stripline microwave (MW) resonator integrated with a microbridge. A strong nonlinear response of the resonator is thermally activated in the microbridge when exceeding a threshold in the injected MW power. The responsivity factor characterizing the ESR-induced change in the system's output signal is about 100 times larger when operating the resonator near the instability threshold, compared to the value obtained in the linear regime of operation. Preliminary experimental results, together with a theoretical model of this phenomenon are presented. Under appropriate conditions nonlinear induction detection of ESR can potentially improve upon the current capabilities of conventional linear induction detection ESR.

Banging the lyre : the classical plays of Tony Harrison
Creators: name: Marshall, Hallie Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: British poet Tony Harrison (b. 1937) is the most significant English verse playwright of the second half of the twentieth century and an important figure in the reception of classical literature on the British stage. This dissertation explores Harrison’s classical plays in relationship to their Greek and Latin models, positioning them amidst his other poetic works, and examining their cultural and historical contexts. The intent of this study is to examine these plays from a number of perspectives: intertexuality, exploring the ways in which Harrison engages with both classical literature and his own non-dramatic poetry; genre, arguing that Harrison uses not only Greek tragedy as a model, but also the other fifth-century dramatic genres of satyr play and Old Comedy, as well as nondramatic poetry, such as Latin epigrams; social and political contexts, establishing the importance of Harrison’s socio-economic and educational background in understanding the form and content of his dramatic verse, and exploring the ways in which he engages with a range of modern political issues, from the British class system to historical and contemporary military conflicts; performance, discussing Harrison’s interpretation and appropriation of fifth-century Athenian performance conventions, such as masks, as well as the influence that collaborators have had on the development of his unique theatrical style; and reception, articulating Harrison’s place within the history of the performance of English verse translations on the twentieth-century British stage, associating his work with the productions of translations by Gilbert Murray, differentiating his work from the classical adaptations of T.S. Eliot, and arguing that he is directly responsible for the recent forays into classical drama by other prominent poets, such as Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes. Conclusions are drawn that what Harrison finds of value within the extant corpus of ancient literature is not the elite values of high culture in which a knowledge of Latin and ancient Greek functions as a shibboleth separating the classes (as had been the case until the post-World War II era in Britain), but a model for creating public poetry for the late-twentieth century.
Integrating strong and weak discontinuities without integration subcells and example applications in an XFEM/GFEM framework

description: Partition of unity methods, such as the extended finite element method (XFEM) allow discontinuities to be simulated independently of the mesh [1]. This eliminates the need for the mesh to be aligned with the discontinuity or cumbersome re-meshing, as the discontinuity evolves. However, to compute the stiffness matrix of the elements intersected by the discontinuity, a subdivision of the elements into quadrature subcells aligned with the discontinuity is commonly adopted. In this paper, we use a simple integration technique, proposed for polygonal domains [2] to suppress the need for element subdivision. Numerical results presented for a few benchmark problems in the context of linear elastic fracture mechanics and a multi-material problem, show that the proposed method yields accurate results. Owing to its simplicity, the proposed integration technique can be easily integrated in any existing code.

Es ist ein Unterdruckfeld im Spitzenwirbel nötig zur Luftansaugung. In dieser Arbeit wird eine Bedingung für den Belüftungsbeginn unter Berücksichtigung der Wasseroberflä.chenbedingung eingeführt, dabei wird ein Ansatz des Kernradius des Spitzenwirbels bei turbulenter Strömung angewendet. Die Belüftungsschicht wird in 2-dimensionaler Betrachtungsweise mit der auf dem Singularitätenverfahren basierenden linearisierten Profiltheorie analysiert unter Berücksichtigung der linearisierten Wasseroberflächenbedingung. Die Singularitäten lassen sich durch Iterationsverfahren bestimmen. Für die Belüftung ist eine offene Modellschicht ohne Zusammenfallstrecke geeignet. Die Dicke der Belüftung unterliegt keiner Schließungsbedingung. Bei der nicht an der Profilvorderkante beginnenden Belüftung wird eine Lösungsmethode angegeben, bei der die zusätzliche Quellenbelegung in zwei Bereiche aufgeteilt wird und unter Berücksichtigung der gegenseitigen Wechselwirkung die Quellenbelegungen bestimmt werden. Die Belüftungsausdehnung wird durch die freie Wasseroberfläche trotz hoher Froudezahlen in hohem Maße beeinflußt.

description: We study theoretically a dramatic enhancement of spontaneous emission in metamaterials with the hyperbolic dispersion modeled as a cubic lattice of anisotropic resonant dipoles. We analyze the dependence of the Purcell factor on the source position in the lattice unit cell and demonstrate that the optimal emitter position to achieve large Purcell factors and Lamb shifts are in the local field maxima. We show that the calculated Green function has a characteristic cross-like shape, spatially modulated due to structure discreteness. Our basic microscopic theory provides fundamental insights into the rapidly developing field of hyperbolic metamaterials.

description: Monocore powder-in-tube MgB2 strands were cold-drawn and heat-treated at 600C and 700C for times of up to 71 hours and structure-property relationships examined. Drawing-induced elongation of the Mg particles led, after HT, to a textured macrostructure consisting of elongated polycrystalline MgB2 fibers separated by elongated pores. The superconducting Tc, Jc and Fp were correlated with the macrostructure and grain size. Grain size increased with HT time at both 600C and 700C. Jc and hence Fp decreased monotonically but not linearly with grain size. Overall, it was observed that at 700C, the MgB2 reaction was more or less complete after as little as 30 min; at 600C, full reaction completion did not occur until 71 h. into the HT. Transport, Jct(B) was measured in a perpendicular applied field, and the magnetic critical current densities, Jcm\bot(B) and Jcmϕ(B), were measured in perpendicular and parallel (axial) applied fields, respectively. Particularly noticeable was the premature dropoff of Jcm\bot(B) at fields well below the irreversibility field of Jct(B). This effect is attributed to the fibrous macrostructure and its accompanying anisotropic connectivity. Magnetic measurements with the field directed along the strand axis yielded a critical density, Jcm\bot(B), for current flowing transversely to the strand axis that was less than and dropped off more rapidly than Jct(B). In the conventional magnetic measurement, the loop currents that support the magnetization are restricted by the lower of Jct(B) and Jcmϕ (B). In the present case the latter, leading to the premature dropoff of the measured Jcm(B) compared to Jct(B) with increasing field. This result is supported by Kramer plots of the Jcmϕ (B) and Jct(B) data which lead to an irreversibility field for transverse current that is very much less than the usual transport-measured longitudinal one, Birr,t.

The Nontriviality of Trivial General Covariance: How Electrons Restrict 'Time' Coordinates, Spinors (Almost) Fit into Tensor Calculus, and 7/16 of a Tetrad Is Surplus Structure

description: It is a commonplace that any theory can be written in any coordinates via tensor calculus. But it is claimed that spinors as such cannot be represented in coordinates in a curved space-time. What general covariance means for theories with fermions is thus unclear. In fact both commonplaces are wrong. Though it is not widely known, Ogievetsky and Polubarinov (OP) constructed spinors in coordinates in 1965, helping to spawn nonlinear group representations. Locally, these spinors resemble the orthonormal basis or "tetrad" formalism in the symmetric gauge, but they are conceptually self-sufficient. The tetrad formalism is de-Ockhamized, with 6 extra fields and 6 compensating gauge symmetries. OP spinors, as developed nonperturbatively by Bilyalov, admit any coordinates at a point, but "time" must be listed first: the product of the metric components and the matrix diag(-1,1,1,1) must have no negative eigenvalues to yield a real symmetric square root function of the metric. Thus the admissible coordinates depend on the types and values of the fields. Apart from coordinate order and spinorial two-valuedness, OP spinors form, with the metric, a nonlinear geometric object, with Lie and covariant derivatives. Such spinors avoid a spurious absolute object in the Anderson-Friedman analysis of substantive general covariance. They also permit the gauge-invariant localization of the infinite-component gravitational energy in GR. Density-weighted spinors exploit the conformal invariance of the massless Dirac equation to show that the volume element is absent. Thus instead of a matrix with 16 components, one can use weighted OP spinors coupled to the 9-component symmetric unimodular square root of the conformal metric density. The surprising mildness of the restrictions on coordinates for the Schwarzschild solution is exhibited. (edited)

description: Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein methodischer Ansatz zur Bewertung Anlaufrisiken in der Produktentwicklung in der Flugzeugindustrie vorgestellt. Das entwickelte Vorgehen gliedert sich dabei in zwei Hauptphasen. Innerhalb der ersten Phase wird auf Basis eines neuentwickelten Wirkmodells die Identifizierung möglicher Risikobereiche durchgeführt. Anschließend erfolgt eine Risikoanalyse mit Hilfe eines Expertenworkshops und einer Monte-Carlo-Simulation. Mögliche Handlungsfelder zur Reduzierung potentieller Risiken werden auf Basis einer generischen Maßnahmenmatrix zugeordnet. Zur Validierung der Methode wird eine Fallstudie im Bereich der Flugzeugkabinenintegration durchgeführt.
description: In this thesis a methodical support for early identification and minimization of ramp-up risks with the help of response strategies is developed. Therefore the approach is divided into two main phases and focusing on the support of the product development until the transition to production. Within the first phase the identification of potential risk areas will be conducted based on a new impact model. During the second main phase the identified areas will be analyzed within a detailed risk analysis. Basis for the analysis is a Monte-Carlo-Simulation. The response strategies for reduction of ramp-up risks are derived from a generic measures matrix. To validate the method, a case study for a new aircraft cabin lining is conducted.

description: ABSTRACT The present study used parent-report data to explore crosscultural similarities and differences in tic severity and reactions to tics across 223 children with Tourette’s disorder (TD) from the United States, United Kingdom, and Netherlands/Norway. Psychometric properties of the TARS-PR and PTQ were also examined and results indicated that both measures may be suitable for assessing tic severity and the consequences of tics in these countries. No differences in parent-reported tic severity were found. However, parents of children with TD from the United Kingdom reported significantly more reactions to their child’s tics than parents from the United States and Netherlands/Norway.

description: We show that the log-likelihood of several probabilistic graphical models is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the lp-norm of the parameters. We discuss several implications of Lipschitz parametrization. We present an upper bound of the Kullback-Leibler divergence that allows understanding methods that penalize the lp-norm of differences of parameters as the minimization of that upper bound. The expected log-likelihood is lower bounded by the negative lp-norm, which allows understanding the generalization ability of probabilistic models. The exponential of the negative lp-norm is involved in the lower bound of the Bayes error rate, which shows that it is reasonable to use parameters as features in algorithms that rely on metric spaces (e.g. classification, dimensionality reduction, clustering). Our results do not rely on specific algorithms for learning the structure or parameters. We show preliminary results for activity recognition and temporal segmentation.

They converge from the left to the minimum eigenvalue, and they rely on Newton's method and interpolation of the characteristic polynomial with no need for introductory bisection steps. The methods are conceptually much simpler than the ones introduced by the same authors based on rational interpolation of the secular equation.

description: Dielectric tensor and lattice dynamics of alpha-PbO2-type TiO2 have been investigated using the density functional perturbation theory, with a focus on responses of the vibrational frequencies to pressure. The calculated Raman spectra under different pressures are in good agreement with available experimental results and the symmetry assignments of the Raman peaks of alpha-PbO2-type TiO2 are given for the first time. In addition, we identified two anomalously IR-active soft phonon modes, B1u and B3u, respectively, around 200 cm-1 which have not been observed in high pressure experiments. Comparison of the phonon dispersions at 0 and 10 GPa reveals that softening of phonon modes also occurs for the zone-boundary modes. The B1u and B3u modes play an important role in transformation from the alpha-PbO2-type phase to baddeleyite phase. The significant relaxations of the oxygen atoms from the Ti4 plane in the Ti2O2Ti2 complex of the baddeleyite phase are directly correlated to the oxygen displacements along the directions given by the eigenvectors of the soft B1u and B3u modes in the alpha-PbO2-type phase.

Empowered engagement : how community gardens combat social isolation
Creators: name: Mazzotta, Carmin Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis argues that engagement in the non-exclusionary, place-based, participatory democratic forums of community gardens can empower participants to become civically engaged in the task of building healthier, safer, more dynamic and interactive communities. In so doing, community gardens offer a space from which to combat social isolation. Four interwoven forms of a globalizing experience of social isolation receive individuated focus; following each are considerations of how community gardens can assist in countering these forces, or ‘probiematics.’ For the first form, I offer the term ‘homogenized mass experience’ to describe a globalizing experience of increasing sameness and solitude in our daily routines and habits stemming from the proliferation and mass consumption of information and communications technologies (ICTs) (Harris & Pendakur 2002; Vamelis 2008). A second problematic stems from the proliferation of “non-places” (Auge 1995) — spaces such as shopping malls, arterial corridors, airports, chain restaurants, even suburbs (Flint 2006) — which perpetuate and deepen the first problematic while also being productive of dehumanizing non-identities. The bombarding presentation of mainstream news media, coupled with our reception of information in the isolation of non-places or the solitude of our ICTs, are productive of a third problematic, that of the disempowered and un(der)informed citizen (Radovan 2001; Wilson 2002). A fourth experience of social isolation is centered in consumer society, and relates to the absorption and assimilation of individuals into ICT-filtered matrices of consumption and production (Baudriulard 1998; Belier 2007). Community gardens can be an empowering forum where individuals may begin to “delink” (Baker 2004) from a social isolation found in the global and discover an engagement rooted in the local.

description: Wireless technology enables novel approaches to healthcare, in particular the remote monitoring of vital signs and other parameters indicative of people's health. This paper considers a system scenario relevant to such applications, where a smart-phone acts as a data-collecting hub, gathering data from a number of wireless-capable body sensors, and relaying them to a healthcare provider host through standard existing cellular networks. Delay of critical data and sensors' energy efficiency are both relevant and conflicting issues. Therefore, it is important to operate the wireless body-area sensor network at some desired point close to the optimal energy-delay tradeoff curve. This tradeoff curve is a function of the employed physical-layer protocol: in particular, it depends on the multiple-access scheme and on the coding and modulation schemes available. In this work, we consider a protocol closely inspired by the widely-used Bluetooth standard. First, we consider the calculation of the minimum energy function, i.e., the minimum sum energy per symbol that guarantees the stability of all transmission queues in the network. Then, we apply the general theory developed by Neely to develop a dynamic scheduling policy that approaches the optimal energy-delay tradeoff for the network at hand. Finally, we examine the queue dynamics and propose a novel policy that adaptively switches between connected and disconnected (sleeping) modes. We demonstrate that the proposed policy can achieve significant gains in the realistic case where the control "NULL" packets necessary to maintain the connection alive, have a non-zero energy cost, and the data arrival statistics corresponding to the sensed physical process are bursty.

description: We consider the recent argument by Higuchi, Marolf and Morrison [1] that a nonlocal gauge transformation can be used to eliminate the infrared divergence of the graviton propagator, when evaluated in Bunch-Davies vacuum on the open coordinate submanifold of de Sitter space in transverse-traceless-synchronous gauge. Because the transformation is not local, the equal time commutator of undifferentiated fields no longer vanishes. From explicit examination of the Wightman function we demonstrate that the transformation adds anti-sources in the far future which cancel the bad infrared behavior but also change the propagator equation. The same problem exists in the localized version of the recent argument. Adding such anti-sources does not seem to be legitimate and could be used to eliminate the infrared divergence of the massless, minimally coupled scalar. The addition of such anti-sources in flat space QED could be effected by an almost identical gauge transformation, and would seem to eliminate the well known infrared divergences which occur in loop corrections to exclusive amplitudes.

description: In this paper, we report the complete and unabridged results of an exploratory study of typical front-end activities in 28 innovation projects in German and Japanese companies. We further reveal differences in the practice of innovation management in both countries. Based on these, we develop first evidence for effects of front end management practices on project execution and project outcomes. For this purpose, we interviewed managers of 13 Japanese and 14 German enterprises concerning 14 Japanese and 14 German new product development projects. The focus of the interviews was the so-called “fuzzy front end” and activities or deliverables later in the process which might be affected by front end management practice. Overall, most projects achieved their objectives with varying efficiency, which is therefore the focus of our analysis. Our study reveals similarities as well as distinctive differences between the projects studied in Japan and Germany. In sum, the 14 Japanese projects relied on a thorough planning and strict controlling to minimize deviations from front end specifications and enhance efficiency. The majority of the 14 German projects did not have a formal planning and controlling process supported by methods and tools like the Japanese projects. Instead, they integrated all relevant functions early in the process, partly already during idea generation, to ensure that all information and points of view were taken into consideration right from the start to reduce later deviations and enhance efficiency. Responsibilities were assigned during the front end and rarely changed during project execution. In addition, during the front end of the German and Japanese projects, market and technical uncertainty were strongly reduced prior to development to avoid later deviations and secure efficiency targets.

description: In early October 2008, the Soft Gamma Repeater SGRJ1550 - 5418 (1E 1547.0 - 5408, AXJ155052 - 5418, PSR J1550 - 5418) became active, emitting a series of bursts which triggered the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) after which a second especially intense activity period commenced in 2009 January and a third, less active period was detected in 2009 March-April. Here we analyze the GBM data all the bursts from the first and last active episodes. We performed temporal and spectral analysis for all events and found that their temporal characteristics are very similar to the ones of other SGR bursts, as well the ones reported for the bursts of the main episode (average burst durations \sim 170 ms). In addition, we used our sample of bursts to quantify the systematic uncertainties of the GBM location algorithm for soft gamma-ray transients to < 8 deg. Our spectral analysis indicates significant spectral evolution between the first and last set of events. Although the 2008 October events are best fit with a single blackbody function, for the 2009 bursts an Optically Thin Thermal Bremsstrahlung (OTTB) is clearly preferred. We attribute this evolution to changes in the magnetic field topology of the source, possibly due to effects following the very energetic main bursting episode.

description: We analyze the full counting statistics (FCS) of quantum dots in the Kondo regime contacted by normal and superconducting leads or an STM tip. To describe the Kondo resonance we use an effective model for the quantum dot in the Kondo regime in combination with the FCS for tunneling contacts calculated using the Hamiltonian approach. We show that the situation of weak coupling to the superconducting electrode in the case of superconductor gap being larger than the Kondo resonance width can be easily handled and verify the method by comparing our theoretical predictions to experimental data. This allows us to make predictions for the noise and cross-correlation in setups involving a superconductor. We find that a positive cross-correlation is possible in the case of a superconductor and two normal leads contacted via two quantum dots in the Kondo regime.
