Creators: name: Sacchelli, Sandro
name: Alampi Sottini, Veronica
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2016

description: Climate change is considered one of the main potential causes for socio-economic damages in viticulture in the future. The analysis of such systems has to be carried out adopting a methodology able to link different spatial and temporal variables, as well as evaluating the uncertainty related to climatic scenario. Thus, the Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) approach was adopted to analyse potential viticulture trends under climate alteration in the Tuscany region (Italy). Best allocation of policy resources and incentives for mitigation of socio-economic impacts were tested through the application of nonlinear programming (NLP). Best policy scenario were depicted applying a multicriteria approach. Results highlighted the importance of regulation measures and the maintenance of quality brand.

description: Protein and mRNA expression are in most cases poorly correlated, which suggests that the posttranscriptional regulatory program of a cell is an important component of gene expression. This regulatory network is still poorly understood, including how RNA structure quantitatively contributes to translational control. We present here a series of structural and functional experiments that together allow us to derive a quantitative, structure-dependent model of translation that accurately predicts translation efficiency in reporter assays and primary human tissue for a complex and medically important protein, α-1-antitrypsin. Our model demonstrates the importance of accurate, experimentally derived RNA structural models partnered with Kozak sequence information to explain protein expression and suggests a strategy by which α-1-antitrypsin expression may be increased in diseased individuals.

description: Over the past decade Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) have emerged as one of the popular architectures to emulate the brain. In SNN, information is temporally encoded and communication between neurons is accomplished by means of spikes. In such networks, spike-timing dependent plasticity mechanisms require the online programming of synapses based on the temporal information of spikes transmitted by spiking neurons. In this work, we propose a spintronic synapse with decoupled spike transmission and programming current paths. The spintronic synapse consists of a ferromagnet-heavy metal heterostructure where programming current through the heavy metal generates spin-orbit torque to modulate the device conductance. Low programming energy and fast programming times demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed device as a nanoelectronic synapse. We perform a simulation study based on an experimentally benchmarked device-simulation framework to demonstrate the interfacing of such spintronic synapses with CMOS neurons and learning circuits operating in transistor sub-threshold region to form a network of spiking neurons that can be utilized for pattern recognition problems.

description: Tettigonia caudata ist eine östliche Art, welche in der Schweiz den westlichen Rand ihres Verbreitungsgebietes erreicht. Ihre Verbreitung wurde in den letzten zehn Jahren genauer ermittelt. Sie kommt sowohl im Unterengadin bis hinauf nach Zernez als auch im Münstertal vor (Abb. 8). Sie ist auf eine hohe, wüchsige Vegetation angewiesen und besiedelt sowohl Viehlägerstellen als auch Säume an Wegrändern und Getreidefeldern. Diese Lebensräume sind zwar in der traditionellen Kulturlandschaft kaum gefährdet, verschwinden aber mehr und mehr in intensiven Agroökosystemen.

description: In a negative macroeconomic environment, the public real estate can contribute to a reduction of public debt. The approaches usually used in urban planning show a structural weakness related to the appraisal method used to estimate the value of the assets involved in territorial planning. Accordingly the present work proposes a new estimating method that examines the possible destinations (and therefore the transformation value) of each property involved in the unitary intervention, also considering the relations of complementarity. The matrix of transformation method based on the Highest and Best Use, allows for leading the choices of spatial planning taking into account the effect generated by the virtuous “network” that makes the greater overall value the sum of its parts.

description: Bordetella spp. includes Bordetella pertussis, the causal agent of whooping cough. The Bordetella virulence gene (BvgAS) two-component regulatory system (TCS) is considered the “master virulence regulator” in Bordetella, as it controls expression of all known virulence factor-encoding genes. We show here that another TCS, PlrSR, is required for BvgAS activity in the lower respiratory tract (LRT) and for virulence even when BvgAS is rendered constitutively active, suggesting that it controls critical functions for bacterial survival in the LRT independently of BvgAS. Our data introduce a new layer of complexity to a paradigm of Bordetella virulence control that has held for more than 30 y, and they indicate the existence of previously unknown bacterial factors that may serve as vaccine components and therapeutic targets.

description: In Basilicata region there is a considerable amount of unused wood as well as the capacity to use it as feedstock for the production of bioenergy. Thus, the supply of renewable energy could be increased through greater utilization of forest biomass. However, for a better planning of the production and processing chain, the energy and forestry sectors require better estimates of the availability of unused roundwood and residues. The aim of the research was the development of a model for the spatial evaluation of biomass quantities obtainable from forestland. The results obtained point out a) significant amounts of biomass distributed on most of the territory; b) good opportunities related to white certificate trading and c) potential of business creation, entrepreneurship and local employment.

description: The integrity or microstructure of white matter as determined by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is related to cognitive function. Most studies focus on individual tracts, even though the microstructure of white matter tracts throughout the brain is highly correlated. In older adults, a common property of white matter predicts cognitive function, though it is not known if common factors are present in early childhood development or how they relate to cognitive function. Here, we found that DTI-based common underlying factors that emerge at this age are significantly related to cognitive abilities from birth to age 2 y. These findings indicate that the functional specialization of cognition and the anatomical differentiation of fibers cooccur in the neonatal and infant brain.

Taking into account previously unaccounted for physics and detector backgrounds at the LHC, renormalization group evolution, and long-range contributions to $0νββ$ nuclear matrix elements, we find that the reach of tonne-scale $0νββ$ generally exceeds that of the LHC. However, for a range of heavy particle masses near the TeV scale, the high luminosity LHC and tonne-scale $0νββ$ may provide complementary probes.

A recent law draft considers its new and diverse potentiality to be assumed in the re-planning of the territory at inter-municipal scale, but some criticalities concern the calculation of the legitimization corresponding sale price. The contribution provides appraisal tools for: the legitimizations in urban areas, with a valuation model of the fair market value; b) the valuation of the territorial value of a “trazzera”, in order to select the ones more suitable to be included within a recovery land plan for a new and different territorial policy, which the administration will have to undertake if the law draft is validated.

description: We derive a primal Divisia technical change index based on the output distance function and further show the validity of this index from both economic and axiomatic points of view. In particular, we derive the primal Divisia technical change index by total differentiation of the output distance function with respect to a time trend. We then show that this index is dual to the Jorgenson and Griliches (1967) dual Divisia total factor productivity growth (TFPG) index when both the output and input markets are competitive; dual to the Diewert and Fox (2008) markup-adjusted revenue-share based dual Divisia technical change index when market power is limited to output markets; dual to the Denny et al. (1981) and Fuss (1994) cost-elasticity-share based dual Divisia TFPG index when market power is limited to output markets and constant returns to scale is present; and also dual to a markup-and-markdown adjusted Divisia technical change index when market power is present in both output and input markets. Finally, we show that the primal Divisia technical change index satisfies the properties of identity, commensurability, monotonicity, and time reversal. It also satisfies the property of proportionality in the presence of path independence, which in turn requires separability between inputs and outputs and homogeneity of subaggregator functions.

description: This study provides a wind farm valuation/planning model, for territorial wind energy policies at a provincial scale. With reference to the case of territory of Syracuse, the pattern identifies the best layout of the plants under different conditions. The pattern, based on the integration of spatial-GIS and numeric calculation, provides a wide range of scenarios able to define a trade off energy/information function characterising the decision pattern of a whole land-energy policy. Energy function includes energy production and the consequent Net Present Value of each plant; Information function includes the visual impacts of each plant given the qualities and the distances of the areas, which the plant is visible from. The best layout maximizes the energy/information-value function.

description: The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is compartmentalized by intracellular membranes that define subcellular organelles. One of these organelles, the endoplasmic reticulum, forms a continuous network of tubules and cisternae that extends throughout all cell compartments, including neuronal dendrites and axons. This network communicates with most other organelles by vesicular transport, and also by contacts that do not lead to fusion but allow cross-talk between adjacent bilayers. Though these membrane contacts have previously been observed in neurons, their distribution and abundance has not been systematically analyzed. Here, we have carried out such analysis. Our studies reveal new aspects of the internal structure of neurons and provide a critical complement to information about interorganelle communication emerging from functional and biochemical studies.

description: The territory of Syracuse is composed of different important natural, cultural and anthropic landscape complexes. As a whole, the territory is affected by an inhomogeneous development pattern, mostly oriented to the waterfront. A greenways land policy based on an effective land marketing pattern might reduce this gap. The study assumes an axiological approach to land planning, combining a qualitative valuation model based on a WebGIS-MAVT tool, and an interactive multicriteria tool based on and a DRSA pattern. The former allows the users to select the preferable path by expressing their preferences within a hierarchic three including the different value functions. The latter generates the preferences structure of the target segments users, and allows the decision maker to adjust the MAVT pattern.

This issue is very important both for agricultural system functionality and, consequently, for its permanence. This paper proposes an analyzing tool of land use changes to support planning policies, in order to highlight the major determinants of land use that affect the permanence of agricultural activity. The case studies are Lodi, Milan and Monza Brianza Provinces, in Lombardy Region. One of the most important results are that exogenous variables, like population density or real estate value of residential buildings, are the most influencing agricultural land loss.

These ten methods include the Lee-Carter method and many of its variants and extensions. For forecasting mortality rates, the weighted Hyndman-Ullah method provides the most accurate point forecasts, while the Lee-Miller method gives the best point forecast accuracy of life expectancy. Furthermore, the weighted Hyndman-Ullah method provides the most accurate interval forecasts of mortality rates, while the robust Hyndman-Ullah method provides the best interval forecast accuracy of life expectancy.

description: From an algebraic construction of the mKdV hierarchy we observe that the space component of the Lax operator play a role of an universal algebraic object. This fact induces the universality of a gauge transformation that relates two field configurations of a given member of the hierarchy. Such gauge transformation generates the Backlund transformation (BT). In this paper we propose a systematic construction of Backlund Transformation for the entire mKdV hierarchy form the known Type-II BT of the sinh-Gordon theory. We explicitly construct the BT of the first few integrable models associated to positive and negative grade-time evolutions. Solutions of these transformations for several cases describing the transition from vacuum-vacuum and the vacuum to one-soliton solutions which determines the value for the auxiliary field and the the Backlund parameter respectively, independently of the model. The same follows for the scattering of two one-soliton solutions. The resultant delay is determined by a condition independent of the model considered.

description: We investigate the potential for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to probe the existence and effects of a fourth neutrino mass-eigenstate. We study the mixing of the fourth mass-eigenstate with the three active neutrinos of the Standard Model, including the effects of new sources of CP-invariance violation, for a wide range of new mass-squared differences, from lower than 10^-5 eV^2 to higher than 1 eV^2. DUNE is sensitive to previously unexplored regions of the mixing angle - mass-squared difference parameter space. If there is a fourth neutrino, in some regions of the parameter space, DUNE is able to measure the new oscillation parameters (some very precisely) and clearly identify two independent sources of CP-invariance violation. Finally, we use the hypothesis that there are four neutrino mass-eigenstates in order to ascertain how well DUNE can test the limits of the three-massive-neutrinos paradigm. In this way, we briefly explore whether light sterile neutrinos can serve as proxies for other, in principle unknown, phenomena that might manifest themselves in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

description: Cytokinins, like other plant hormones, affect a diverse array of plant growth and development processes and responses to the environment. How a signaling molecule mediates such a diverse array of outputs and how these response pathways are integrated with other inputs remain fundamental questions in plant biology. An integrated set of approaches was used to define the targets of the type-B response regulators, a key set of transcription factors that control cytokinin-dependent gene expression. Results shed light on the physiological role of the type-B ARRs in regulating the cytokinin response, mechanism of type-B ARR activation, and basis by which cytokinin regulates diverse aspects of growth and development as well as responses to biotic and abiotic factors.
Brillouin zone spin filtering mechanism of enhanced TMR and correlation effects in Co(0001)/h-BN/Co(0001) magnetic tunnel junction

description: The 'Brillouin zone spin filtering' mechanism of enhanced tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) is described for magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) and studied on an example of the MTJ with hcp Co electrodes and hexagonal BN (h-BN) spacer. Our calculations based on local density approximation of density functional theory (LDA-DFT) for Co(0001)/h-BN/Co(0001) MTJ predict high TMR in this device due to Brillouin zone filtering mechanism. Owning to the specific complex band structure of the h-BN the spin-dependent tunneling conductance of the system is ultra-sensitive to small variations of the Fermi energy position inside the BN band gap. Doping of the BN and, consequentially, changing the Fermi energy position could lead to variation of the TMR by several orders of magnitude. We show also that taking into account correlation effects on beyond DFT level is required to accurately describe position of the Fermi level and thus transport propertied of the system. Our study suggests that new MTJ based on hcp Co-Pt or Co-Pd disordered alloy electrodes and p-doped hexagonal BN spacer is a promising candidate for the spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM).

Stenobothrus nigromaculatus

description: Stenobothrus nigromaculatus ist eine sibirische Art mit einem zerstückelten Verbreitungsgebiet in Westeuropa, wo sie auf einige Gebirge beschränkt ist (Schwäbische Alb und Schwarzwald, Alpen, Apennin, Zentralmassiv, Pyrenäen). In der Schweiz kommt die Art nur in einigen Gebieten des Zentralwallis und des Tessins vor. Das kleine Verbreitungsgebiet und die Isolation der Populationen stellen in Verbindung mit der Empfindlichkeit ihrer sehr trockenen Lebensräume – Bewässerung und Düngung sind ihr Untergang – eine nicht zu vernachlässigende Gefahr dar.

description: The disparity in breast cancer mortality rates among white and black US women is widening with higher mortality rates among black women. We apply functional time series models on age-specific breast cancer mortality rates for each group of women, and forecast their mortality curves using exponential smoothing state-space models with damping. The data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the US (SEER, 2007). Mortality data were obtained from the National Centre for Health Statistics (NCHS) available on the SEER*Stat database. We use annual unadjusted breast cancer mortality rates from 1969 to 2004 in 5-year age groups (45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84). Age-specific mortality curves were obtained using nonparametric smoothing methods. The curves are then decomposed using functional principal components and we fit functional time series models with four basis functions for each population separately. The curves from each population are forecast and prediction intervals are calculated. Twenty-year forecasts indicate an over-all decline in future breast cancer mortality rates for both groups of women. This decline is steeper among white women aged 55-73 and black women aged 60-84. For black women under 55 years of age, the forecast rates are relatively stable indicating no significant change in future breast cancer mortality rates among young black women in the next 20 years.

description: Uvarovitettix depressus ist eine mediterrane Art, welche in der Schweiz nur im Wallis vorkommt; im Münstertal, wo sie früher nachgewiesen war, wurde sie in letzter Zeit nicht mehr wiedergefunden. Ihre spezifischen ökologischen Ansprüche – sie besiedelt vor allem sehr trockene Pionierstandorte in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft von Quellaufstössen oder Vernässungen – erklären ihre Seltenheit und die Zerstückelung ihrer Populationen.

Automatic forecasting with a modified exponential smoothing state space framework

Subjects: Econometric and statistical methods

description: A new automatic forecasting procedure is proposed based on a recent exponential smoothing framework which incorporates a Box-Cox transformation and ARMA residual corrections. The procedure is complete with well-defined methods for initialization, estimation, likelihood evaluation, and analytical derivation of point and interval predictions under a Gaussian error assumption. The algorithm is examined extensively by applying it to single seasonal and non-seasonal time series from the M and the M3 competitions, and is shown to provide competitive out-of-sample forecast accuracy compared to the best methods in these competitions and to the traditional exponential smoothing framework. The proposed algorithm can be used as an alternative to existing automatic forecasting procedures in modeling single seasonal and non-seasonal time series. In addition, it provides the new option of automatic modeling of multiple seasonal time series which cannot be handled using any of the existing automatic forecasting procedures. The proposed automatic procedure is further illustrated by applying it to two multiple seasonal time series involving call center data and electricity demand data.

description: The deepest XMM-Newton mosaic map of the central 1.5 deg of the Galaxy is presented, including a total of about 1.5 Ms of EPIC-pn cleaned exposures in the central 15" and about 200 ks outside. This compendium presents broad-band X-ray continuum maps, soft X-ray intensity maps, a decomposition into spectral components and a comparison of the X-ray maps with emission at other wavelengths. Newly-discovered extended features, such as supernova remnants (SNRs), superbubbles and X-ray filaments are reported. We provide an atlas of extended features within +-1 degree of Sgr A*. We discover the presence of a coherent X-ray emitting region peaking around G0.1-0.1 and surrounded by the ring of cold, mid-IR-emitting material known from previous work as the "Radio Arc Bubble" and with the addition of the X-ray data now appears to be a candidate superbubble. Sgr A's bipolar lobes show sharp edges, suggesting that they could be the remnant, collimated by the circumnuclear disc, of a SN explosion that created the recently discovered magnetar, SGR J1745-2900. Soft X-ray features, most probably from SNRs, are observed to fill holes in the dust distribution, and to indicate a direct interaction between SN explosions and Galactic center (GC) molecular clouds. We also discover warm plasma at high Galactic latitude, showing a sharp edge to its distribution that correlates with the location of known radio/mid-IR features such as the "GC Lobe". These features might be associated with an inhomogeneous hot "atmosphere" over the GC, perhaps fed by continuous or episodic outflows of mass and energy from the GC region.

description: We derive the extended fluctuation theorems in presence of multiple measurements and feedback, when the system is governed by Hamiltonian dynamics. We use only the forward phase space trajectories in the derivation. However, to obtain an expression for the efficacy parameter, we must necessarily use the notion of reverse trajectory. Our results show that the correction term appearing in the exponent of the extended fluctuation theorems are non-unique, whereas the physical meaning of the efficacy parameter is unique.

description: Realized volatility of stock returns is often decomposed into two distinct components that are attributed to continuous price variation and jumps. This paper proposes a tobit multivariate factor model for the jumps coupled with a standard multivariate factor model for the continuous sample path to jointly forecast volatility in three Chinese Mainland stocks. Out of sample forecast analysis shows that separate multivariate factor models for the two volatility processes outperform a single multivariate factor model of realized volatility, and that a single multivariate factor model of realized volatility outperforms univariate models.

description: Ephippiger vicheti , Ephippiger terrestris bormansi und Pholidoptera littoralis insubrica sind insubrische Arten mit sehr beschränktem Verbreitungsgebiet in der Schweiz: Die erste Art lebt im Südtessin, im Bergell und im Puschlav, die zweite auf einigen Bergen im Südtessin (z. B. Monte Camoghè, M. Bar, M. Generoso; Nadig 1968) und die dritte im Sottoceneri. Obwohl ihre Populationen recht stabil zu sein scheinen, sind diese Arten sehr verletzlich geworden durch die Ausdehnung von Bauzonen, die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft – besonders in tieferen Lagen – sowie die Verbuschung ihres Lebensraumes.

The economic sustainability of residential location and social housing. An application in Palermo city
Creators: name: Napoli, Grazia
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2016

description: The aim of this paper is to analyse the interconnections among the so-called “grey area” citizens, who have great difficult to get an own house, and the public (and private) stakeholders that have a key part to play in translating the housing politics into practice. The analysis proposes some economic tools – the analysis of the local real estate market and the “Income-Threshold” – to support municipality in achieving social housing projects corresponding to the family’s financial constraints. The methodology of analysis is applied to data directly collected in Palermo. The purpose is to point out the operational and problematic aspects corresponding to the family’s access to the real estate market and to estimate the financial gap corresponding to the impossibility to achieve that.

description: Nucleotide excision repair removes DNA damage caused by carcinogens, such as UV and anticancer drugs, such as cisplatin. We have developed two methods, high-sensitivity damage sequencing and excision repair sequencing that map the formation and repair of damage in the human genome at single-nucleotide resolution. The combination of dynamic damage and repair maps provides a holistic perspective of UV damage and repair of the human genome and has potential applications in cancer prevention and chemotherapy.
