La ?2a Sinfonia? di Andrej Belyj. Problemi di metodologia e interpretazione
Creators: name: KAUCHTSCHISCHWILI, NINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2002

description: Il poeta simbolista russo Andrej Belyi (1880-1934), laureato in scienze biologiche, ha composto nei primi anni del secolo scorso, poco pi� di ventenne, una serie di quattro , un genere poetico in prosa ritmata, con versi numerati. Nell?originale forma poetica si � riversata l?atmosfera in cui Belyi � cresciuto: l?influenza del padre, professore di matematica, e della madre, appassionata musicista. Gli studi dedicati a questo poeta hanno subito una lunga interruzione durante il periodo sovietico, lacuna oggi da colmare, compito affrontato soprattutto da A. V. Lavrov che ha pubblicato in anni recenti (1991) le ?Sinfonie?, accessibili fino allora solo in un?edizione integrale del Fink Verlag di M�nchen (1971). Nel presente studio si cerca di analizzarne l?originale struttura compositivia e linguistica, ricorrendo alla Organoproekcija di P. Florenskij, pubblicata solo da poco integralmente (1999), per precisare meglio il rapporto tra realt� e immagine poetcia. Si fa inoltre riferimento all?Anamorfosi di Ju. Baltru?ajtis (1903-1988), uno storico dall?arte lituano-francese, concentratosi sullo studio delle deformazioni artistiche nell?architettura medievale occidentale e orientale. Con l?aiuto dei due teorici si � cercato di puntualizzare alcuni aspetti delle immagini poetiche e dell?espressivit� poetico-linguistica di questo poeta che non si arresta davanti alle tradizionali regole poetiche per attingere la propria ispirazione poetica, oltre tutto, alle pi� svariate discipline tecnico-scientifiche.

description: M-PESA is a remarkably successful mobile payments system launched in Kenya three years ago. Users are able to send money to each other conveniently from their M-PESA using only their mobile phones. A key to the success of M-PESA is the availability of an extensive network of retail shops that accept M-PESA deposits and withdrawals, i.e. they stand ready to exchange cash and electronic value. It is the stores that provide liquidity to the system, and they are paid a commission by M-PESA for this service. Behind the store is a network of intermediaries that arrange the logistics around cash management. In this paper we look at daily transactional data from six M-PESA stores in Western Kenya supplemented by case studies and interviews of MPESA store managers and employees in order to better understand the liquidity management needs of these stores. We examine how liquidity needs vary by location and day of week/month, and by the level of service offered by the store. We find that stores require intense daily management of liquidity to maintain customer service levels and that this is more difficult in rural areas.
We also find some evidence of market discipline for agents who can?t maintain service levels.

ROLE OF NF-Y TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS IN ARABIDOPSIS EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT
Creators: name: FORNARI, MONICA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a trimeric transcription factor composed of three distinct subunits called NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. In Arabidopsis thaliana, NF-Y subunits are known to play roles in many processes, such as embryogenesis, drought resistance, ABA signaling, flowering time, primary root elongation, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress response and blue light responses. Here, we report that the closely related NF-YA3 and NF-YA8 play an important role in Arabidopsis embryogenesis. Detailed GUS and in situ analyses showed that NF-YA3 and NF-YA8 are expressed in vegetative and reproductive tissues with the highest expression being during embryo development from the globular to the torpedo embryo stage. Plants from the nf-ya3 and nf-ya8 single mutants do not display any obvious phenotypic alteration, whereas nf-ya3 nf-ya8 double mutants are embryo lethal. Morphological analyses showed that the nf-ya3 nf-ya8 embryos are arrested at the globular stage and that both proembryo and suspensor are characterized by a disordered cell cluster with an irregular shape, suggesting defects in the determination of the apical-basal embryo axis. The suppression of both NF-YA3 and NF-YA8 gene expression by RNAi experiments resulted in defective embryos that phenocopied the nf-ya3 nf-ya8 double mutants, whereas complementation experiments partially rescued the globular-arrested nf-ya3 nf-ya8 embryos, confirming that NF-YA3 and NF-YA8 are required in early embryogenesis. Finally, the lack of GFP expression of the auxin responsive DR5rev::GFP marker line in double mutant embryos suggested that mutations in both NF-YA3 and NF-YA8 affect auxin transport in early developing embryos. Our findings indicate that NF-YA3 and NF-YA8 are functionally redundant regulators of the globular-heart transition that marks the acquisition of axiality during embryo development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Human-computer interaction

description: Across a range of sectors, including transportation and healthcare, the use of automation to assist humans with increasingly complex tasks is also demanding that such systems are more interactive with human users. Given the role of cognitive factors in human decision-making during their interactions with automation, models enabling human cognitive state estimation and prediction could be used by autonomous systems to appropriately adapt their behavior. However, accomplishing this requires mathematical models of human cognitive state evolution that are suitable for algorithm design. In this thesis, a computational model of coupled human trust and self-confidence dynamics is proposed. The dynamics are modeled as a partially observable Markov decision process that leverages behavioral and self-report data as observations for estimation of the cognitive states. The use of an asymmetrical structure in the emission probability functions enables labeling and interpretation of the coupled cognitive states. The model is trained and validated using data collected from 340 participants. Analysis of the transition probabilities shows that the model captures nuanced effects, in terms of participants' decisions to rely on an autonomous system, that result as a function of the combination of their trust in the automation and self-confidence. Implications for the design of human-aware autonomous systems are discussed, particularly in the context of human trust and self-confidence calibration.

description: The Hypothesis of the Code-Based Reality (Māyā) proposes a radical shift in our perspective on the fundamental nature of reality. Instead of viewing the world as a continuous material continuum, Māyā interprets the universe as an emergent product of discrete information processing occurring at the level of fundamental space-time units—planxels. Each planxel represents the smallest unit of reality code with Planck length (\~1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ m) and Planck time (\~5.391 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s).

In this model, physics no longer involves reconstructing causes from observed effects (reverse engineering) but instead describes the emergence of physical laws resulting from local informational operations and the global synchronization of planxels. The Māyā hypothesis integrates quantum mechanics with general relativity by reinterpreting phenomena such as gravity, dark matter, dark energy, and quantum fluctuations as informational effects.

This approach helps avoid paradoxes and infinities known from classical physical theories, offering a coherent and testable vision of reality. The Māyā hypothesis is an invitation to interdisciplinary scientific collaboration, combining physics, cosmology, information theory, and numerical methods to further develop and empirically test this groundbreaking concept.

VIOLENZA DI GENERE E NEOFEMMINISMI. DISCORSI E PRATICHE
Creators: name: PERONI, CATERINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: In the last five years, gender violence has represented one of the main topics of the Italian public and political debate. Its importance is due to its mobilizing power, often related to the security emergency against strangers by the mass media and the institutional politics. At the same time, it has been exploited to impose a moral and social control on women's sexuality. In October 2007, the murder of Giovanna Reggiani in Rome by a man living in an illegal nomad camp, became the core of a political and media alarm that drifted towards racist instigation against the so-called ?gipsy? communities and their camps. Several attacks to nomad camps also degenerated into pogroms. In this violent and moralistic background, a different discourse was elaborated by the Italian feminist movement which organized, a month later, a demonstration called ?Not in my name? against gender violence and racism, for the anniversary of the UN global day against women violence. The demonstration denounced the preeminence of gender violence between intimates in Italy, highlighting the importance of a feminist perspective in order to understand and contrast gender violence. Indeed, the historical connection between feminist experience, practice and knowledge and the definition of gender violence as a social problem is definitely intrinsic. This study aims at analyzing the contemporary political feminist discourse about gender violence which involves, at the same time, the redefinition of concepts and cognitive tools such as gender, feminism, queer, sexuality, norm, equality and difference. The analysis of documents and interviews to feminist activists reveals a deep criticism towards the heteronormative speech of gender, seen as the context in which gender violence is produced and naturalized. In conclusion, gender violence can be defined as a social construction that changes with social and cultural transformations depending on the political and social processes of emancipation and self-determination undertaken by women in the last four decades.

RNA MATURATION/DEGRADATION IN MYCOBACTERIA: IN VIVO AND IN VITRO CHARACTERIZATION OF RNASE J AND RNASE E
Creators: name: TAVERNITI, VALERIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis have very different sets of ribonucleases, in particular the presence of RNase E and RNase J, respectively, that have been used to explain significant differences in RNA metabolism between these the two model organisms. However, these studies might have somewhat polarized our view of RNA metabolism, while recent works outline models of RNA degradation that are more similar than has been thought. In fact, the recent characterization of RNase Y as the scaffold for the degradosome assembly in B. subtilis lead to the consideration that RNA degradation in B. subtilis might begin through an endonucleolitycal cleavage, followed by exonucleolytical degradation.
In this work, we have identified a functional RNase J in Mycobacterium smegmatis and characterized its in vitro 5?-3? exo- and endonucleolytic activities. Furthermore, we constructed two mutants in M. smegmatis rnj: a conditional and a knock out mutant, thus demonstrating that in M. smegmatis the gene is not essential, contrary to the RNase J1 function in B. subtilis.
In M. smegmatis RNase J co-exists with RNase E, a configuration that enabled us to study how these two key nucleases collaborate. A conditional mutant in the rne gene was constructed, demonstrating that this function is essential for M. smegmatis, as it is in E. coli. Moreover, a conditional mutant in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, confirmed its essentiality also in this organism.
We studied the respective roles of the M. smegmatis RNase J and RNAse E ribonucleases in the 5? end maturation of the katG transcript, previously demonstrated to derive from an endoribonucleolytic processing. Here we find that RNase E is responsible of the specific cleavage of the 5? katG end.
Further, we show that RNase E and RNase J are involved in the 5? end processing of all three ribosomal RNAs. Thus the maturation pathways of rRNAs in M. smegmatis are quite different from those observed in both E. coli and B. subtilis. Studying organisms containing different combinations of key ribonucleases can thus significantly broaden our view of the strategies directing RNA metabolism used by various organisms.

Clarifying the Role of the CST Complex in DNA Replication and Repair

Proteins and peptides

description: Ends of linear chromosomes are maintained by specialized structures known as telomeres. These structures are protected by a number of essential protein complexes including the shelterin complex and CST (CTC1 – STN1 – TEN1) complex. CST is an RPA-like ssDNA binding protein that is vital for telomere length maintenance via inhibition of telomerase and stimulation of DNA polymerase α -primase during C-strand fill-in synthesis. CST is also known to possess additional genome-wide roles in regulating DNA replication and repair including helping facilitate replication re-start at stalled forks, activating checkpoint signaling at double-strand breaks, and promoting replication origin firing. Proper and efficient repair of DNA is critical in order to protect the integrity of the genome and prevent extreme mutagenesis. Telomeres have a strong predisposition to oxidative DNA damage in the form of 8-oxoguanine caused by exposure to reactive oxygen species and free radicals. These oxidative lesions are repaired by the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. Previous work has implicated telomeric proteins such as the shelterin complex in mediating BER. Here we show for the first time that the CST complex and individual subunits robustly stimulate a myriad of proteins involved in the BER pathway including Pol β, APE1, FEN1, and LIGI. CST’s ability to augment these BER-associated proteins could be instrumental in promoting efficient DNA repair. Additionally, we find that CTC1 and STN1 are able to significantly enhance the polymerase activity of Pol δ and Pol α on both random-sequence and telomeric-sequence DNA substrates in vitro. What is more, we establish the ability of CST to resolve G4 structure and promote Pol δ synthesis, which we predict is a key feature of CST’s involvement in DNA replication at telomeres, which are known to form replication-inhibiting G4’s. Our results define important mechanistic insight into CST’s role in DNA replication and repair, and provide a strong foundation for future studies relating defective telomere maintenance to aging disorders and cancers which impact human health.

description: An overwhelming majority of matter in the Universe is dark matter, a substance unlike anything we know. Detecting dark matter particles requires ruling out observed phenomena caused by known particles. This thesis advances efforts toward the detection of dark matter using one of the most sensitive particle detection technologies: the dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber. Specifically, data from the XENON1T Experiment, located in Italy, and the Purdue small-scale ASTERiX detector are analyzed. A background of Lead-214 beta decay events can be mitigated by tracing the radioactive Radon-222 decay chain in XENON1T. However, a preliminary reduction of background has a high cost to exposure. Research on several topics was conducted with Purdue undergraduates, including a search for dark matter particles up to the Planck Mass, characterizing backgrounds due to muons, and searching for Boron-8 solar neutrino signals. XENON1T single-scatter dark matter limits were extended to a particle mass of 1018 GeV/c2. The ASTERiX detector was modified to characterize a significant background to the smallest detectable energy signatures: single- and few-electron ionization signals. Infrared light was determined to be ineffective at reducing this background, and their rates were observed to decrease inversely with time since an energetic interaction according to a power law. The rates of single- and few- electron backgrounds increase linearly with increased applied extraction fields and increased depth of the initial interaction in the detector. These results indicate that these backgrounds originate at the liquid-gas interface of dual-phase detectors. In exploring a single-photon threshold for initial scintillation signals, a previously unconsidered background of large dark count signals in the photosensors became apparent. The high background of small ionization signals and large dark count signals deterred a search for Boron-8 solar neutrino interactions in XENON1T. These studies are vital to mitigating backgrounds and improving the sensitivity of liquid xenon time projection chambers to new physical phenomena.
LONGITUDINAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOM CLUSTERS AND INFLAMMATORY BIOMARKERS IMPLICATED IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN PEOPLE WITH DEPRESSION
Creators: name: Patel, Jay Sunil
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Systemic inflammation is one potential mechanism underlying the depression to cardiovascular disease (CVD) relationship. In addition, somatic rather than cognitive/affective symptoms of depression may be more predictive of poorer CVD outcomes due to systemic inflammation. However, the small existing literature in this area has yielded mixed results. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine longitudinal associations between depressive symptom clusters and inflammatory biomarkers implicated in CVD (i.e., interleukin-6, IL-6; and C-reactive protein, CRP) using data from the eIMPACT trial. In addition, race was examined as a moderator given findings from two previous studies. The eIMPACT trial was a phase II, single-center randomized controlled trial comparing 12 months of the eIMPACT intervention to usual primary care for depression. Participants were 216 primary care patients aged ≥ 50 years with a depressive disorder and CVD risk factors but no clinical CVD from a safety net healthcare system (Mage = 58.7 years, 78% female, 50% Black, Meducation = 12.8 years). Depressive symptoms clusters (i.e., somatic and cognitive/affective clusters) were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). IL-6 and high-sensitivity CRP were assessed by the local clinical research laboratory using R&D Systems ELISA kits. Change variables were modeled in MPlus using a latent difference score approach. The results of this study were largely null. Very few associations between depressive symptom clusters and inflammatory biomarkers implicated in CVD were observed, and the detected relationships may be due to type I error. Similarly, only one association was observed for race as a moderator, and the detected relationship may be due to type I error. The present findings do not provide strong support for the longitudinal associations between depressive symptom clusters and inflammatory biomarkers implicated in CVD nor the moderating effects of race. However, the present findings do not rule out the possibility of these relationships given important study limitations, such as study design and power. Future prospective cohort studies with multiple waves of data collection are needed to determine the longitudinal associations between depression facets and various inflammatory biomarkers implicated in CVD. In addition, a biologically-based approach to identifying facets of depression – e.g., the endophenotype model – may provide a clearer understanding of the depression-inflammation relationship.
title: Ocular exposure to occupational
non-ionising radiation in
professional pilots
Creators: name: Chorley, Adrian Carl
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2015

description: Research evidence supports the link between long term exposure to ultraviolet (UV)
and the blue light hazard with ocular damage including cataract and macular
degeneration. Population studies to determine the prevalence of these conditions in
pilots are inconclusive. It is known that UV and blue light intensities increase with
altitude. The aim of this research was to investigate whether professional pilots are
adequately protected from UV and short wavelength light during flight.
Informed by the results of 22 semi-structured interviews, a questionnaire exploring
the eye protection habits of professional pilots was developed and completed by
2,967 participants. The results showed a wide variation in pilot use of sunglasses,
uncovered barriers preventing sunglass use and showed a high level of
dissatisfaction regarding standard aircraft sun protection systems.
In flight irradiance measurements were captured during 6 airline and 4 helicopter
flights. No measurable UVB was found. UVA exposure was highly reliant on the
transmission properties of the aircraft windshield. Further ground measurements on
15 aircraft showed the majority had windshields which transmit significant levels of
UVA into the cockpit. This can cause the ocular dose for the unprotected eye to
exceed international recommended exposure limits within ½ hour of flight. Older
aircraft generally had superior UVA blocking windshields. Although calculated
retinal exposure to blue light hazard during flight fell well within international
recommended limits, the mean radiance was 4.1 times higher at altitude. The effect
of this over a flying career remains uncertain.
Filter transmittance measurements were taken from 34 pilot sunglasses and 20 new
sunglasses typically used by pilots. All sunglasses filters measured offered
sufficient protection from UVA in flight and ensured an attenuation of the blue light
hazard to levels equivalent to those at ground level without protection.
A series of practical recommendations are made to pilots, eye care health
professionals, industry and the aviation regulators
title: What is the Experience of Primary Eyecare
for Children with an autistic
spectrum disorder?
A grounded theory investigation
Creators: name: Gow, Louise
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2015

description: Background
Autism spectrum disorder is a group of lifelong neuro-developmental disorders that
influence the way people interact, view and communicate with their world. It is
thought that people with autism spectrum disorders have a shorter life span because
they do not alert people to health problems that might be treatable. Healthcare in the
United Kingdom is intended to be accessible equally by all. Planning for services
requires the input of service users to ensure that they are accessible. There is
limited knowledge about the experience of eye-care from the service user’s
perspective.
Aim
The aim of this research is to investigate the experience of eye-care from the
perspective of children with autism spectrum disorders.
Methods
A grounded theory methodology was used. Eight primary carer and child dyads and
five eye-care professionals were interviewed. Data were analysed and the
categories that emerged were integrated to develop theory.
Findings
The overarching category that emerged from the children’s data was feeling in
control. There are facilitators and barriers to this which are dependent on the autism
spectrum disorder awareness of eye-care practitioners and the eye-care awareness
of primary carers.
Conclusion
The experience of primary eye-care for children with an autism spectrum disorder is
dependent on whether they feel in control of the situation. The theory generated
indicates that a child can be enabled to feel in control if their primary carer and eye
care professional work together to reduce the sensory burden, provide continuity,
and adapt the process in a person-centred way. This research shows that strategies
that enable the child to feel in control can reduce the challenges of the process of
primary eye-care. In order for this to be possible the primary carer and eye care
professional need effective communication pathways to plan for each individual’s
specific needs and to prepare the child for the experience.

description: Taking for granted that ?metadiscourse embodies the idea that communication is more than just the exchange of information, goods and services, but also involves the personalities, attitudes and assumptions of those who are communicating? (Hyland 2005: 3), this work aims to analyse the features of metadiscourse in online teaching methodology courses. As we speak or write, we negotiate with our readers or listeners, we make decisions about the effects we want to attain on our audience (Hyland 2005, 2015). Instructors in online teaching methodology courses use a vast array of metadiscoursal features, under the form of commentaries embedded in the oral text, which express the speakers? intentions, and how confident they are about what they are saying, along with directions to the listeners, and logical connectors or frame markers referring to the structure of the oral text. After a categorization of different types of textual metadiscourse in online courses, the present study aims to investigate whether and to what extent these commentaries can be considered as ways to signal speakers? attitudes towards the content and their audiences. Following Hyland (2005), both interactive resources (to guide the listener through the text) and interactional resources (to involve the listener in the subject) will be considered in order to ascertain whether these features are used to control, evaluate and negotiate the goals and impact of the ongoing talk (Hyland 2015). From this point of view, metadiscoursal features can be deemed rhetorical as long as they contribute to the informative and persuasive impact of methodological lessons taught online. Therefore, metadiscourse in this genre is also investigated from a rhetorician?s perspective, focusing on figures of presence, figures of focus and figures of communion, and on ethos, pathos and logos appeals which contribute to effective communication rather than being merely used for ornamentation.

VIKING, LAVAL AND ALL THAT: CONSEQUENCES OF ECJ RULINGS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA OF INDUSTRIAL CONFLICT IN AN ENLARGED EU
Creators: name: GUADAGNO, STEFANO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: The main aim of the thesis is to provide a recognition of the major consequences and potential impact of the European Court of Justice rulings in the Viking, Laval, R�ffert and Luxembourg cases dating to the late 2007-early 2008 and balancing the conflict between economic freedoms and fundamental social rights, as well as the most important judicial and legislative developments in the field of fundamental collective rights, both in various domestic settings and at EU-level.
The work proceeds to reconstruct the fundamental elements in the regulation of the right to strike and collective action in Italy, Germany and the UK, as well as the development in international instruments such as ILO Conventions and the ESC, as well as the first European Community and Union approaches occurred in particular in the late '90s and with the issuing of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
The starting point for the analysis of the rulings is represented by the political, economic and legal context and occurrences linked with the latest rounds of the European enlargement process; focusing on the most prominent legal aspects emerging from the Court?s reasonings, an assessment of the actual and potential impact on the national regulations and industrial relation systems is carried out, with particular attention to the Swedish, German and Italian frameworks. Clarification efforts also focus on the main elements of uncertainty stemming from the rulings; furthermore, disputes taking places in some national settings and most clearly linked with the ECJ rulings (in particular Sweden and UK) are analyzed and assessed.
The thesis then proceed to evaluate the most important and recent responses elaborated by social partners and EU institutions in order to reconcile the economic and social dimension of the Union, as well as the recent judicial course taken by the ECtHR with reference to the right to collective action (in the Demir and Enerji rulings), and the perspectives deriving from the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon and the planned accession of the EU to the ECHR in order to readdress the judicial course undertaken by the ECJ in the field.
VALUTAZIONE DI UNA NUOVA TECNICA CHIRURGICA PER LA CORREZIONE IN UTERO DELL'ERNIA DIAFRAMMATICA IN UN MODELLO ANIMALE: RISULTATI PRELIMINARI.

description: The aim of our study is to evaluate a new surgical technique for the in utero correction of the diaphrgmatic hernia (CDH) obcluding the left main bronchus in an animal model (sheep). The first part of the project will be based on the examiantion of the anatomy of the trachea and main bronchi. On the basis of the anatomical records will be developed some devices for its endoluminal obstruction. After that, will be performed the study of the endoscopical anatomy of the lower respiratory tract of the lamb to identify landmarks useful to allow the obstruction of the left main bronchus. The introductions of the devices in the trachea will be performed in three ways: without their direct vision of the catheter (?blind mode?) or under ultrasound or endoscopical guidance. Being the first time that we are working on this disease, a part of the study will be spent to evaluate the effectiveness of techniques for its creation and correction. The rationale of this experiment is based on the fact that the lung ipsilateral to the diaphragmatic lesion is usually the most severely affected by hypoplasia. Obstructing the left main bronchus we suppose to obtain an hyperplastc left lung allowing the right to develop physiologically decreasing the respiratory distress of the newborn. All lambs will be euthanized and their lungs will be used to obtain histological and imunohistological sections to value the number of type II pneumocytes and arterial thickness. The results will be compared between animals with CDH, animals with the correction of the disease achieved by tracheal ligation and healthy animals.
An Unexpected Journey: Towards Runtime Verification of Multiagent Systems and Beyond
Creators: name: FERRANDO, ANGELO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The Trace Expression formalism derives from works started in 2012 and is
mainly used to specify and verify interaction protocols at runtime, but other
applications have been devised. More specically, this thesis describes how
to extend and apply such formalism in the engineering process of distributed
articial intelligence systems (such as Multiagent systems).
This thesis extends the state of the art through four dierent contributions:
1. Theoretical: the thesis extends the original formalism in order to represent
also parametric and probabilistic specications (parametric trace
expressions and probabilistic trace expressions respectively).
2. Algorithmic: the thesis proposes algorithms for verifying trace expressions
at runtime in a decentralized way. The algorithms have been
designed to be as general as possible, but their implementation and
experimentation address scenarios where the modelled and observed
events are communicative events (interactions) inside a multiagent system.
3. Application: the thesis analyzes the relations between runtime and static
verication (e.g. model checking) proposing hybrid integrations in both
directions. First of all, the thesis proposes a trace expression model
checking approach where it shows how to statically verify LTL property
on a trace expression specication. After that, the thesis presents a
novel approach for supporting static verication through the addition
of monitors at runtime (post-process).
4. Implementation: the thesis presents RIVERtools, a tool supporting the
writing, the syntactic analysis and the decentralization of trace expressions.
FORENSICS AND FORMALIZED PROTOCOL CUSTOMIZATION FOR ENHANCING NETWORKING SECURITY

Subjects: System and network security

description: Comprehensive networking security is a goal to achieve for enterprise networks. In forensics, the traffic analysis, causality dependence in intricate program network flows is needed in flow-based attribution techniques. The provenance, the connection between stealthy advanced persistent threats (APTs) and the execution of loadable modules is stripped because loading a module does not guarantee an execution. The reports of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) demonstrate that lots of vulnerabilities have been introduced in protocol engineering process, especially for the emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. A code generation framework targeting secure protocol implementations can substantially enhance security.A novel automaton-based technique, NetCrop, to infer fine-grained program behavior by analyzing network traffic is proposed in this thesis. Based on network flow causality, it constructs automata that describe both the network behavior and the end-host behavior of a whole program to attribute individual packets to their belonging programs and fingerprint the high-level program behavior. A novel provenance-oriented library tracing system, Lprov, which enforces library tracing on top of existing syscall logging based provenance tracking approaches is investigated. With the dynamic library call stack, the provenance of implicit library function execution is revealed and correlated to system events, facilitating the locating and defense of malicious libraries. The thesis presents ProFactory, in which a protocol is modeled, checked and securely generated, averting common vulnerabilities residing in protocol implementations.
