description: Most electronic and electrical equipment is not only a potential source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) but can also malfunction when exposed to certain levels of ambient EMI. This phenomena becomes more significant for digital control-computers automating the command and control performances in complex plants. Such EM disturbances can introduce transient signals on analog sensor and actuator lines, change data values on digital buses and in memory, or even produce logic changes in the CPU. The result of these so called computer upsets is the introduction of some degree of degradation in the quality of the control signal ranging from a perturbation error over a few sample periods to a permanent error mode or computer failure. Under these conditions, the primary concern of the control engineer is to insure that the closed-loop system remains stable after the disturbance subsides and/or corrective actions are taken.

The main objective of this study was to obtain stability conditions for discrete-time linear systems which are subject to abrupt changes in their structure and parameters due to electromagnetic (EM) disturbances from both natural and manmade sources. We considered particularly that class of disturbances which can be modeled by a Markov chain with a finite state space. The main results of the study are a stochastic disturbance model and a set of associated stability assessment tools for determining stability robustness of a nominal closed-loop system subject to electromagnetic disturbances. The focus was primarily on flight control applications, but much of the methodology is suitable for any application where highly reliable digital control is needed. The methodology was demonstrated on a variety of simple examples and a stabilizing controller for the longitudinal dynamics of the AFTI/F-16 aircraft.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The configuration of the HPL-MxP image on Cloud Brain II is specifically designed to optimize the performance of HPL-MxP by harnessing the computational capabilities of Huawei's Ascend processors. Users are required to customize their own image, configure the environment locally within their image, and subsequently upload it to Cloud Brain II to submit their job. This custom image lacks a pre-configured terminal or commonly used high-performance computing software, requiring users to set up the environment themselves. The configuration process involves pulling the initial image, updating/installing necessary software packages such as SSH, setting up SSH keys for passwordless login, and installing essential libraries and compilers like OpenBLAS, ucx, openmpi, and the Kunpeng GCC compiler. Users can also compile their own operator libraries and software packages within the image. Additionally, the image setup includes SSH service setup, directory setup, software package installation, environment variable configuration, and finally saving the configured image for future use.

Light Matter Interaction in Epsilon Near Zero Metal/Insulator Layered Nanocavities Thesis
Creators: name: PALEI, MILAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Light-matter interaction has been a widely investigated phenomena enlarging the area of
nanophotonics beyond the limit. This stand out to be the back bone for future generation optical
devices. Light confinement and propagation in a small volume gives rise to several rich optical
properties. This can be realized in different type of nanostructured materials. Metal(M)/Insulator(I)
multilayer nanocavities are highly versatile systems for light confinement and wave guiding at
nanoscale. Their physical behavior is discussed successfully by electromagnetic theory. However,
it is still obscured about the nature of cavity modes in layered metal/insulator nanocavities. The
reason why such cavity mode can be excited without having any momentum matching technique
are yet to be investigated. We start with a quantum treatment of the MIM as a double barrier
quantum well where the resonant modes are assisted by tunneling of photons. The lossless
characteristics of these modes with zero wavevector condition are inherent to the epsilon-nearzero
(ENZ) band. We further investigated the coupling between epsilon near zero assisted volume
plasmons in MIMIM nanocavities where one MIM cavity placed above the other. Strong coupling
has been demonstrated in this system by an anticrossing of the ENZ modes in the individual
cavities, where the splitting depends strongly on the thickness of the central metal layer.
The properties of ENZ bulk plasmon modes for MIM and MIMIM systems are exploited to achieve
both enhancement of spontaneous emission and decay rate of the perovskite nanocrystal film
placed on the top of the nanocavity. However, the enhancement is within the limit of weak coupling
regime. In order to achieve strong coupling between ENZ mode of cavity and emission mode of
the fluorophore, one need to embed the fluorophore inside the cavity. But it has been realized that
in such a case, long term stability of fluorophore by retaining its original optical properties are
primary challenges. We studied the optical properties of nanocrystal layer that were overcoated
with alumina by atomic layer deposition. This enabled us to effectively embed the NCs inside the
dielectric layers of planar MIM and MIMIM nanocavities.
The Shape of Damping: Optimizing Damping Coefficients to Improve Transparency on Bilateral Telemanipulation
Creators: name: MORENO FRANCO, OLMO ALONSO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: This thesis presents a novel optimization-based passivity control algorithm for hapticenabled bilateral teleoperation systems involving multiple degrees of freedom. In particular, in the context of energy-bounding control, the contribution focuses on the implementation of a passivity layer for an existing time-domain scheme, ensuring optimal transparency of the interaction along subsets of the environment space which are preponderant for the given task, while preserving the energy bounds required for passivity. The involved optimization problem is convex and amenable to real-time implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed design is validated via an experiment performed on a virtual teleoperated environment.
The interplay between transparency and stability is a critical aspect in haptic-enabled bilateral teleoperation control. While it is important to present the user with the true impedance of the environment, destabilizing factors such as time delays, stiff environments, and a relaxed grasp on the master device may compromise the stability and safety of the system. Passivity has been exploited as one of the the main tools for providing sufficient conditions for stable teleoperation in several controller design approaches, such as the scattering algorithm, timedomain passivity control, energy bounding algorithm, and passive set position modulation.
In this work it is presented an innovative energy-based approach, which builds upon existing time-domain passivity controllers, improving and extending their effectiveness and functionality.
The set of damping coefficients are prioritized in each degree of freedom, the resulting transparency presents a realistic force feedback in comparison to the other directions. Thus, the prioritization takes effect using a quadratic programming algorithm to find the optimal values for the damping.
Finally, the energy tanks approach on passivity control is a solution used to ensure stability in a system for robotics bilateral manipulation. The bilateral telemanipulation must maintain the principle of passivity in all moments to preserve the system?s stability. This work presents a brief introduction to haptic devices as a master component on the telemanipulation chain; the end effector in the slave side is a representation of an interactive object within an environment having a force sensor as feedback signal. The whole interface is designed into a cross-platform framework named ROS, where the user interacts with the system. Experimental results are presented.

Development and characterization of scaffolds for 3D cell culture
Creators: name: YAN, MENGYING
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: In recent years the study of three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has undergone a progressive development. The 3D models have shown characteristics more similar to the overall conditions in vivo with respect to 2D cultures (Hutmacher DW., 2001). The 3D approach decreases the gap between cell culture system and the cellular physiology, helping to understand better various cell functions such as proliferation, adhesion, viability, morphology, microenvironment, and response to drugs. Compared to 2D cultivation, the cells in 3D are completely different in terms of morphology, signaling, and microenvironmental metabolism (Astashkina A et al., 2014). The scaffold provides the support necessary for the cells to attach, proliferate, and maintain their differentiated function. As a drawback, the structural characteristics of 3D scaffolds make their characterization quite complex.
In my project a new hydrogel scaffold (HS) has been produced and several methods have been modified and/or developed for characterizing its cell compatibility, porosity, mechanical and optical properties and molecular diffusion.
The first condition that has been verified was that the absence of toxicity for the cell types used and the capacity of the scaffolds to promote cell adhesion and growth for a period suitable for biological tests.
Different cell lines have been evaluated, like human endothelial vascular cell line (HECV), human keratinocyte cell line (NCTC), human fibroblast cell line and human liver carcinoma cell line. HECV and NCTC have been cultured in 3D for more than 30 days.
The porosity of the lyophilized scaffold has been calculated by liquid displacement method, using acetonitrile as the displacement liquid, and resulted to be higher than 95%.
The mechanical properties of the HS have been analysed and Young?s Modulus (YM) and yield strength (YS) were evaluated in dried state and in liquid immersion. The YM of HS ranges from 15 to 120 kPa, and the YS ranges from 3 to 21 kPa.
The transparency of HS has been easily evaluated by UV-VIS transmittance study and by observing letters printed on a paper sheet placed under the scaffold completely immersed in PBS, measuring the sharpness of the typographical sign, with respect to a reference read through a PBS solution.
The molecular diffusion through the scaffold has been evaluated using Franz diffusion cells at 37 �C, with metformin hydrochloride as diffusing molecule. The diffusion coefficient D was calculated, its value being approx. 1.2�10-9 m�/s.
Second Generation Intact Stability criteria: Analysis, Implementation and Applications to significant ship typologies
Creators: name: PETACCO, NICOLA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The following doctoral thesis addresses all the stability failures embraced by the
Second-Generation Intact Stability criteria (SGISc). These criteria are under
finalization within the sub-Committee at the International Maritime Organization
(IMO). SGISc are one of the most discussed topic since the session in 2008 and
they drew the attentions not only of the international scientific community but
also of other stakeholders such as designers and shipyards. It is forecast that the
second-generation criteria will be finalized and published in an official document
at IMO by 2020 session. The new regulation has introduced a modern method
to apply the criteria that is called multi-layered approach: it consist of three
different vulnerability level with increasing accuracy and complexity.
One of the aims of this dissertation is to evaluate, both qualitatively and
quantitatively, how the SGISc will affect existing vessels and new projects. To
chase this main object, it has been necessary to develop a set of computational
codes, for each stability failure and vulnerability level, integrated with an existing
in-house software already developed. Before beginning to compile the codes,
the phenomena physics behind each stability failure has been studied together
with a detailed analysis of the regulations texts. Subsequently, a comprehensive
campaign of application on a representative mega yacht unit and on a Ro-Ro pax
ferry has been carried out in order to verify and validate the computational codes
developed. Navy vessel and container-ship have been included in the analysis because
they are deemed to be vulnerable to the phenomena addressed by SGISc.
To identify a relationship between the stability failures and main design parameters,
a set of parent hull variations has been carried out. To better understand
which parameters are more relevant in each specific phenomenon, it has relied
on a useful tool adopted in systems engineering: the Design Structure Matrix
(DSM). Thanks to DSM it has been possible to classify the direction and the
magnitude of relationships among parameters introduced by the SGISc.

Design and Implement Towards Enhanced Physical Interactive Performance Robot Bodies
Creators: name: REN, ZEYU
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis, it will introduce the design principle and implement details towards enhanced physical interactive performance robot bodies, which are more specically
focused on under actuated principle robotic hands and articulated leg robots. Since they both signicantly function as the physical interactive robot bodies against external environment, while their current performance can hardly satisfy the requirement of undertaking missions in real application.
Regarding to the enhanced physical interactive performances, my work will emphasis on the three following specific functionalities, high energy efficiency, high
strength and physical sturdiness in both robotics actuation and mechanism. For achieving the aforementioned targets, multiple design methods have been applied,
rstly the elastic energy storage elements and compliant actuation have been adopted in legged robots as Asymmetrical Compliant Actuation (ACA), implemented for not
only single joint but also multiple joints as mono and biarticulation congurations in order to achieve higher energy effciency motion. Secondly the under actuated
principle and modular nger design concept have been utilized on the development of robotic hands for enhancing the grasping strength and physical sturdiness meanwhile maintaining the manipulation dexterity. Lastly, a novel high payload active tuning Parallel Elastic Actuation (PEA) and Series Elastic Actuation (SEA) have been
adopted on legged robots for augmenting energy eciency and physical sturdiness.
My thesis contribution relies on the novel design and implement of robotics bodies for enhancing physical interactive performance and we experimentally veried the
design effectiveness in specic designed scenario and practical applications.

Microfluidic studies for monitoring the metastatic cascade and cancer-immune cells interaction
Creators: name: MOLLICA, HILARIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: Metastases are the primary cause of death in cancer patients. Small animal models are helping dissecting some key features of the metastatic cascade but many bio-mechanic details remains difficult to analyze in vivo. For this reason a series of tools for performing systematic analysis of vascular permeability, tissue architecture, blood flow, biochemical stimuli and inflammation were produced in the last decade. Particularly relevant for this field is the use of microfluidic chips allowing to include in vitro models a vascular component. During my PhD, I applied this novel technologies to replicate in vitro key steps in the metastatic cascade and cancer-immune cell interaction with a focus on the establishment of microfluidics for metastasis. More specifically I used 3 different microfluidic chips: i) a single-channel microfluidic chip allowing to study CTCs adhesion and rolling inside a small capillary; ii) a double-channel microfluidic chip, composed by an upper and a lower channels mimicking the vascular and extravascular compartments; the channels are laterally connected by an array of micro pillars acting as a vascular membrane; iii) a three channel device composed by a central 3D culture of tumor cells embedded into a collagen matrix flanked by 2 channels connected to the former by a series of trapezoidal pillars. The two lateral compartments are used to simulate the vascular and stromal environment respectively.
In the text we show how the aforementioned microfluidic devices can efficiently recapitulate in vitro multiple key steps of cancer metastatic cascade and some of the most important interactions between immune-cancer cell interactions.

Role of ?V?3 integrin in cortical synaptic transmission: relevance for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Epilepsy
Creators: name: FIRMO MORAIS, EDUARDO MANUEL
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social communication impairments and restricted interests. Epilepsy is a brain disorder diagnosed after the occurrence of at least one epileptic seizure. ASD and epilepsy are often comorbid.
The integrin ?V?3 is a synaptic cell adhesion molecule that binds to counter-receptors and extracellular matrix proteins. Itgb3, the gene encoding the ?3 subunit of integrin ?V?3, has been associated to ASD in humans, and constitutive knockout (KO) mice for this gene exhibit ASD-like behaviors, while brain-specific conditional KO mice for the other subunit of integrin ?V?3 (?V) have higher propensity for seizures.
Integrin ?V?3 may, therefore, play important neuronal roles in brain regions relevant for ASD and epilepsy. To test this hypothesis, I expanded the behavioral characterization of Itgb3 constitutive KO mice and characterized the behavioral phenotype of an Itgav conditional KO mouse specific for excitatory neurons of the forebrain. In these mouse models, I also investigated the synaptic dysfunctions of excitatory synapses onto layer V pyramidal neurons of the medial prefrontal cortex.
I find that loss of integrin ?V?3 leads to deficits in social novelty preference, hyper-reactivity to acoustic stimuli of high intensity, and reduces the threshold for pharmacologically induced seizures. This correlates with a reduction in the content of GluA2-lacking AMPA receptors in excitatory inputs to layer V pyramidal neurons.
Cortical and subcortical neuronal substrates of social behavior
Creators: name: NIGRO, MARCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Social behavior is one of the most important properties of animal life and it plays a critical role in biological adaptations. However, the neural substrates of social cognitive processing are complex and largely unknown. The ?social brain? network, involving a range of cortical and subcortical regions and connective pathways, varies depending on task demands. The aim of this thesis was to clarify the implication of different brain pathways and systems in different aspects of mice social behavior. The work presented in the first two chapters of the thesis was to develop and validated a new behavioral test to assess the ability to discriminate unfamiliar conspecific based on their emotional state. The results provide significant new insights on the role of the PVN-CeA oxytocin pathway and the implication of an excitatory and inhibitory imbalance in mPFC as core behavioral dysfunctions in social cognitive deficits. The last part of the thesis was focused more on the investigation of the behavioral and physiological effects produced by pharmacological treatment (oxytocin). In particular, taking advantage of the effects oxytocin produced in a mouse model of genetic liability, we investigated the physiological mechanisms of exogenous oxytocin action in the mPFC. All the results presented in this thesis indicate mixed molecular factors for the different social and brain response in mice that may be crucial in the aetiology of the social disease.
Role of Ca2+/Calmodulin dependent protein kinase IV on REST activity
Creators: name: CARMINATI, EMANUELE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The transcriptional repressor REST (Repressor Element 1-Silencing Transcription factor) is a zinc finger domain repressor protein which binds to the specific RE1 regulatory sequence in its target genes and limits their transcription by histone deacetylases and histone methylases recruitment. REST is involved in many key biological processes, including neural differentiation, neurogenesis, and titration of REST levels occurs during these processes.
As key regulators of protein biology, post-translational modifications modulate protein structure, activity and localization. It has been demonstrated that REST protein degradation during neural differentiation could be regulated by ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis through a conserved phosphodegron, stressing the importance of the regulation of REST phosphorylation levels. This phosphorylation-mediated control of REST levels appears to be important also in pathologies.
The principal aim of this study was to investigate whether REST expression may be modulated by calcium-signalling, a pivotal second messenger that regulates a variety of cellular processes, with special attention to calcium-dependent enzymes.
By a computational bioinformatics analysis, we identified five phosphorylation sites for Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinases (CaMKs), a family of Serine/Threonine protein kinases that is responsible for mediation of many intracellular responses to elevated Ca2+. By pharmacological and genetic approaches, we demonstrated that CaM-Kinase IV (CaMKIV) exerts a negative post-translational regulation on REST protein stability in cortical neurons.
We employed in our study a RESTGTinv-conditional animal model in which the expression of REST and its truncated forms are totally abolished upon Cre-recombinase activity. By specifically removing the expression of this transcription factor and/or interfering with kinase activities at the same time, we gain deeper details in REST functions and its possible regulation by CaMKIV. Our result shows that REST directly regulates synapse formation and activity, not impacting early stages of neurodevelopment. We also identified a role for both CaMKIV and REST in tuning the autophagic pathway, acting as negative and positive regulators respectively.Altogether, our data highlight an important interplay between CaMKIV and REST, which can be a crucial control mechanism regulating different aspects relevant in the physiopathology of neurons in a calcium-related manner.

ANNUIRE E SCUOTERE LA TESTA COME AZIONI SIMULATE DI APPROCCIO ED EVITAMENTO Indagine sperimentale sulla relazione tra elaborazione cognitiva e gesti embodied

description: The study deals with the relationship between language understanding and bodily movements, focusing on the movements involved in the two gestures of nodding and shaking of the head, a body part still not sufficiently investigated within the embodiment perspective. In 4 studies (9 experiments in total) the presence of a motor compatibility effect between the production of vertical and horizontal head movements and a high-level cognitive process such as the evaluation, both semantic and affective, of the truth-value of sentences was investigated. Through an innovative experimental procedure that, thanks to a motion detection software, made it possible to move stimuli on a computer screen directly with the action of the head, it was found that the semantic evaluation activated the simulation of the two head movements as nodding and shaking gestures, only when the evaluation was explicit. On the contrary, the affective evaluation was able to activate the two movements of the head as approach and avoidance responses even when there was no explicit intent to evaluate the stimuli, and generating a broader compatibility effect. Finally, the effect was also tested with a sample of young Bulgarians, for which the same vertical/horizontal movements can elicit the opposite meaning. Overall results show that it is possible, as well as necessary for the enhancement of the embodiment literature, to find reliable, automatic and implicit embodiment effects, and shed light on the possibility to exploit the automatic simulation of approach and avoidance movements with the head, in order to measure implicit attitudes, in social and personality research.
cGMP favors the interaction between APP and BACE1 by inhibiting Rab5 GTPase activity
Creators: name: CAUDANO, FRANCESCA

description: We previously demonstrated that cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) stimulates amyloid precursor protein (APP) and beta-secretase (BACE1) approximation in neuronal endo-lysosomal compartments, thus boosting the production of amyloid-? (A?) peptides and enhancing synaptic plasticity and memory. Here, we further investigated the mechanism by which cGMP regulates the subcellular localization of APP and BACE1, finding that the cyclic nucleotide inhibits the activity of Rab5, a small GTPase associated with the plasma membrane and early endosomes. Accordingly, we also found that expression of a dominant-negative Rab5 mutant increases both APP-BACE1 approximation and A? extracellular levels, therefore mimicking the effects induced by cGMP. These results reveal a functional correlation between the cGMP/A? pathway and the activity of Rab5 that may contribute to the understanding of Alzheimer?s disease pathophysiology.

description: Frank Miller Bingham, MRCS, LRCP
Born 17th September 1874, at Alfreton, the second son of Dr. Joseph Bingham, of Alfreton, Derbyshire. Educated at St. Peter's School, York, and St. Thomas's Hospital Medical School. Having qualified, he took charge for about four years of a large practice in Blackwell, Alfreton, Derbyshire, associated with the Blackwell Collieries, which had been, since the collieries were sunk, under the control of his father. Subsequently he lived at Brook House, Caton, near Lancaster, and was for five years in partnership with Dr. Scott at Hornby. From 1911 he was in partnership in Queen's Square, Lancaster, with Dr G. R. Parker and Dr C. W. Dean, as Parker, Dean and Bingham, living at Lindon Cottage (he was in practice at Caton and Lancaster for ten years).
A good all-round sportsman, he played cricket for Derbyshire and rugby for Blackheath and Middlesex.
An enthusiastic territorial, he preferred to serve as a combatant than as a military doctor: Lieutenant, 5th King's Own (Royal Lancashire Regiment) Territorial Battalion, November 1910; Captain, 1914; Company Commander, May 1914; acting second in command of his battalion, 1915. After the severe fighting around Ypres in Flanders in the first two weeks of May (Second Battle of Ypres), he received three days home leave and, on the day after his return to the front, was killed in action 22nd May 1915. He had been reconnoitring some new trenches that his battalion was to occupy the following day, and as he and other officers were leaving, before daybreak, they came across a man half buried by the side of a trench which had been blown in. He insisted on stopping to dig the man out himself, which took some time, and it was daylight before all had begun to leave the trenches. The party was seen by the Germans, and he received a bullet through the heart which killed him instantaneously.
He was buried on the edge of a wood at the front, but his grave was subsequently lost in the fighting, and he is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial.
A bronze tablet was erected in his memory by the medical profession of Lancaster and district on the outer wall of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, unveiled 2nd December 1915 by Dr G. R. Parker, senior member of the medical profession in Lancaster.

description: Polymeric coatings are getting more and more popular, due to their enhanced technical properties. Conventional coatings can be more practical by means of surface modifications to change the surface characteristics such as wetting properties, adhesion, conductivity and etc. This thesis will aim to provide an understanding about some surface properties and tuning the surface composition to obtain a final applications of the polymeric coatings. For this, different polymer nanocomposites were used by focusing on the sustainability of the materials and the simple fabrication process to have the chance to make them in large scale applications. After a general introduction about polymeric coatings, wetting properties, liquid repellent and thermally conductive coatings some of the materials and the methods, which can be used to fabricate these coatings and some applications of them are discussed in chapter 1.

Le statut problématique du mark up dans la macro-économie de Kalecki
Creators: name: Taouil, Rédouane
Publisher: name: Critique économique
Year: 2013

description: De par sa supposée dimension descriptive, le mark up de Kalecki jouit d’une large faveur dans les modèles macroéconomiques post-keynésiens. Or, il apparaît, à l’examen, doublement sujet à caution. D’une part, il implique l’existence d’un dispositif central de coordination, ce qui contredit son hypothèse d’initiatives individuelles de prix. D’autre part, il se heurte à des difficultés qui tiennent au passage des décisions de prix aux variables macroéconomiques. L’agrégation par le procédé de la moyenne identifie le comportement de l’économie dans son ensemble à celui d’une firme représentative. De sorte que la détermination du degré de monopole global ne sollicite pas la référence préalable aux choix microéconomiques.

A la recherche du capitalisme raisonnable Keynes sur la route de Madison

Subjects: Keynes, Commons, action collective, capitalisme raisonnable.

description: A l’heure où le capitalisme semble sérieusement ébranlé par une crise financière qu’on pensait restreinte aux marchés immobiliers hypothécaires américains mais qui s’est très vite propagée à toute l’économie mondiale, le plaidoyer de John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) et John Rogers Commons [1862-1945] pour un capitalisme régulé n’a jamais été autant d’actualité. Cet article sous la forme d’un portrait croisé se penche justement sur la vie, les engagements politiques et le parcours intellectuel de ces deux grands esprits réformistes du XXe siècle. Alors que rien dans leurs origines sociales ne les prédestinait à épouser un horizon commun, ces deux économistes à la forte influence politique voyaient l’économie avant tout comme un moyen pour ouvrir la voie vers un capitalisme raisonnable par le biais de l’action collective aussi bien au niveau national que sur le plan international.
