description: LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the ESA M3 missions selected within the Cosmic Vision program in 2011 to carry out an assessment phase study and compete for a launch opportunity in 2022-2024. The phase-A studies of all M3 missions were completed at the end of 2013. LOFT is designed to carry on-board two instruments with sensitivity in the 2-50 keV range: a 10 m 2 class Large Area Detector (LAD) with a <1° collimated FoV and a wide field monitor (WFM) making use of coded masks and providing an instantaneous coverage of more than 1/3 of the sky. The prime goal of the WFM will be to detect transient sources to be observed by the LAD. However, thanks to its unique combination of a wide field of view (FoV) and energy resolution (better than 500 eV), the WFM will be also an excellent monitoring instrument to study the long term variability of many classes of X-ray sources. The WFM consists of 10 independent and identical coded mask cameras arranged in 5 pairs to provide the desired sky coverage. We provide here an overview of the instrument design, configuration, and capabilities of the LOFT WFM. The compact and modular design of the WFM could easily make the instrument concept adaptable for other missions.

description: It is well known that software needs to change to meet new requirements. The synchronization of software architecture models and implementation is of high importance to keep the architecture documents useful and the software evolution process manageable. In this paper we achieve this synchronization by a two-step process. First, we augment the source code with architectural information. Second, this "lightweight architectural model" can be checked more easily against the full architectural description. Based on this approach refactorings on either side (code or architecture) are detected automatically and conformance checks become possible.

description: Contesto: come molti popoli indigeni, la maggior parte della popolazione mapuche è stata sfollata dal proprio territorio ancestrale. Gli studi sulle famiglie mapuche che vivono nelle aree urbane mettono in dubbio se le loro dinamiche di educazione dei figli implichino o meno specificità culturali e se questo gruppo possa essere considerato pienamente come popolo mapuche nonostante viva in modo molto simile alle persone non indigene. Obiettivo: Questo progetto di dottorato mira a comprendere i significati legati all'esperienza genitoriale e alla trasmissione dell'identità etnica nelle madri e nei padri mapuche urbani. Metodo: è stato eseguito uno studio qualitativo, con un disegno narrativo. Sono stati intervistati 14 partecipanti ei dati sono stati sottoposti ad un'analisi tematica, sia a livello individuale che di gruppo. Risultati: le madri e i padri urbani Mapuche concepiscono la genitorialità profondamente correlata alla prospettiva tradizionale del popolo Mapuche sull'infanzia, il che significa la promozione dell'autonomia, la capacità di collaborare e di essere consapevoli dell'ambiente e l'importanza di includere la famiglia allargata nell'educazione dei figli processi. La trasmissione dell'identità etnica è intesa come un canale che collega i bambini alle loro radici e alla possibilità di preservare la conoscenza ancestrale. La trasmissione si basa anche sul senso di orgoglio e di appartenenza a un gruppo indigeno profondamente legato alla natura. Conclusione: Al di là della prospettiva dell'assimilazione, i Mapuche dovrebbero essere affrontati come un gruppo in situazione diasporica, la cui identità etnica circola al di fuori di un territorio specifico. La popolazione urbana mapuche vive in una condizione di confine, rappresentando per la psicologia un interessante caso per comprendere le trasformazioni identitarie tra le tensioni tra la società cilena e quella mapuche e il futuro incerto. Prestare attenzione allo spazio quotidiano della famiglia è necessario per rendere visibile l'eterogeneità all'interno del popolo mapuche e riconoscere i processi di rielaborazione identitaria molto spesso oscurati dal predominio della discussione politica.

description: We present a systematic refactoring of the conventional treatment of privacy analyses, basing it on mathematical concepts from the framework of Quantitative Information Flow (QIF). The approach we suggest brings three principal advantages: it is flexible, allowing for precise quantification and comparison of privacy risks for attacks both known and novel; it can be computationally tractable for very large, longitudinal datasets; and its results are explainable both to politicians and to the general public. We apply our approach to a very large case study: the Educational Censuses of Brazil, curated by the governmental agency INEP, which comprise over 90 attributes of approximately 50 million individuals released longitudinally every year since 2007. These datasets have only very recently (2018-2021) attracted legislation to regulate their privacy -- while at the same time continuing to maintain the openness that had been sought in Brazilian society. INEP's reaction to that legislation was the genesis of our project with them. In our conclusions here we share the scientific, technical, and communication lessons we learned in the process.

MDFRC item.

May 2011. DOI:10.1071/EN10103.

The accumulation of reduced sulfur species in the sediments of salinised inland waterways poses a serious environmental risk to many historically freshwater environments. Here the effects of salinity (and associated sulfate concentration), organic carbon load and temperature on reduced sulfur accumulation and speciation in closed microcosms containing sediments from a wetland that had not previously been salinised are examined. At conductivities of up to 10 000 µS cm–1, extant sediment carbon was sufficient to allow reduction of the entire sulfate load. Sulfate reduction was carbon limited at higher salinities. The rate of sulfate reduction approximately tripled with an increase in temperature from 20 to 30°C. Speciation studies showed that elemental sulfur and an unidentified sulfur species – probably reduced organic sulfur – were the dominant reduced sulfur species present during the early stages of sulfate reduction. By the end of the incubation period (226 days), reactive forms of S (elemental sulfur and acid-volatile sulfide) dominated. In the low conductivity treatments (0 and 1000 µS cm–1) reduced sulfur was approximately equally distributed between the two forms; acid volatile sulfide comprised ~75% of the reduced sulfur at higher salinities. Formation of less reactive di-sulfide minerals was inconsequential over the timescale of this experiment.

description: A calligraph is a graph that for almost all edge length assignments moves with one degree of freedom in the plane, if we fix an edge and consider the vertices as revolute joints. The trajectory of a distinguished vertex of the calligraph is called its coupler curve. To each calligraph we uniquely assign a vector consisting of three integers. This vector bounds the degrees and geometric genera of irreducible components of the coupler curve. A graph, that up to rotations and translations admits finitely many, but at least two, realizations into the plane for almost all edge length assignments, is a union of two calligraphs. We show that this number of realizations is equal to a certain inner product of the vectors associated to these two calligraphs. As an application we obtain an improved algorithm for counting numbers of realizations, and by counting realizations we characterize invariants of coupler curves.

description: Solid state synthesis and physical mechanisms of electrical conductivity variation in polycrystalline, strontium doped indium oxide In2O3:(SrO)x were investigated for materials with different doping levels at different temperatures (T=20-300 C) and ambient atmosphere content including humidity and low pressure. Gas sensing ability of these compounds as well as the sample resistance appeared to increase by 4 and 8 orders of the magnitude, respectively, with the doping level increase from zero up to x=10%. The conductance variation due to doping is explained by two mechanisms: acceptor-like electrical activity of Sr as a point defect and appearance of an additional phase of SrIn2O4. An unusual property of high level (x=10%) doped samples is a possibility of extraordinarily large and fast oxygen exchange with ambient atmosphere at not very high temperatures (100-200 C). This peculiarity is explained by friable structure of crystallite surface. Friable structure provides relatively fast transition of samples from high to low resistive state at the expense of high conductance of the near surface layer of the grains. Microscopic study of the electro-diffusion process at the surface of oxygen deficient samples allowed estimation of the diffusion coefficient of oxygen vacancies in the friable surface layer at room temperature as 3x10^(-13) cm^2/s, which is by one order of the magnitude smaller than that known for amorphous indium oxide films.

description: LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, was one of the ESA M3 mission candidates that completed their assessment phase at the end of 2013. LOFT is equipped with two instruments, the Large Area Detector (LAD) and the Wide Field Monitor (WFM). The LAD performs pointed observations of several targets per orbit (~90 minutes), providing roughly ~80 GB of proprietary data per day (the proprietary period will be 12 months). The WFM continuously monitors about 1/3 of the sky at a time and provides data for about ~100 sources a day, resulting in a total of ~20 GB of additional telemetry. The LOFT Burst alert System additionally identifies on-board bright impulsive events (e.g., Gamma-ray Bursts, GRBs) and broadcasts the corresponding position and trigger time to the ground using a dedicated system of ~15 VHF receivers. All WFM data are planned to be made public immediately. In this contribution we summarize the planned organization of the LOFT ground segment (GS), as established in the mission Yellow Book 1 . We describe the expected GS contributions from ESA and the LOFT consortium. A review is provided of the planned LOFT data products and the details of the data flow, archiving and distribution. Despite LOFT was not selected for launch within the M3 call, its long assessment phase (> 2 years) led to a very solid mission design and an efficient planning of its ground operations.

Experimental study on hybrid fibre reinforced high-performance concrete columns at elevated temperatures

description: Research in the field of developing innovative concrete materials has been ongoing for the last three decades. The development of high-performance concrete (HPC) is the outcome of these efforts, which has superior performance characteristics such as high strength and good durability. In the design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, it is a requirement of building codes that all RC structural members be fire resistant. Thus, structural behaviour and fire design of HPC columns are of great importance in the design. However, it was revealed that the majority of the tests focused on the effects of concrete strength, load ratio, fire curve, addition of fibres, heating regime and aggregate type. Insufficient research has been carried out on axial restraint, column dimension and load eccentricity. To address the research gaps, an experimental programme involving ten columns was conducted in this paper to improve understanding of fire performance of HPC columns when subjected to elevated temperatures, focusing on the effects of column dimension, load eccentricity, biaxial bending and axial restraint. Although complex loading conditions such as uniaxial and biaxial bending and axial restraint were applied, there was no evidence of spalling in any of the specimens. The effect of load eccentricity on fire endurance was dependent on the cross-sectional design.

December 2011. DOI: 10.1899/11-009.1 A publication output from S. Perryman PhD Thesis see (Microbial Community Structure and Function: The response of denitrifiers on an environmental gradient – stream urbanization - M/PER/28).

Urbanization is an important ecological modifier of stream catchments and significantly alters C type and concentration and heavy metal input to aquatic systems. C and heavy metals are important determinants of microbial community structure (population dynamics) and function (physiological processes). Understanding how changes at the landscape scale affect key nutrient-transformation processes (e.g., denitrification) and C metabolism (e.g., methanogenesis) at the micro scale requires simultaneous determination of the structural and functional responses of bacterial communities. We compared total bacterial (16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid [rRNA] gene) and denitrifying bacterial (nosZ gene) community structures in sediments taken from an urban and a nonurban stream before and after C and Zn additions. Microcosms containing stream sediment were supplemented with either proteinaceous or leaf-leachate C, increasing the C content by 36 and 130 mg/L, respectively. C was added in the presence and absence of Zn addition (200 mg/kg). Changes in community function were determined simultaneously with additions by measuring the rates of CO2, N2, and CH4 accumulation in the headspace of each mesocosm. Site had the greatest effect on total and denitrifying bacterial community structures. Added C caused a small but significant change in total bacterial community structure, but did not change denitrifying bacterial community structure. C enrichment caused a significant and rapid change in community function. Rates of methanogenesis were significantly higher at the nonurban than at the urban site and were significantly affected by C type (significant site × C interaction). Denitrification and CO2 production were unaffected by C additions but differed between sites. Zn addition changed total bacterial community structure but not denitrifying bacterial community structure. Zn affected the rate of methanogenesis, but the effect size was less than for C type. Community structures remained different between sites at the end of the study despite exposure to Zn concentrations that reflected conditions in urbanized streams and C sources that mimicked those from urban or nonurban streams. Our study supports previous observations that microbial community structure is strongly influenced by prior sediment history. The broader implication is that landscape-scale changes like urbanization alter other physical and chemical properties of the stream sediment that influence community structure more than the Zn or C concentrations in our study.

description: A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) inserted in a superconducting waveguide resonator imposes current and voltage boundary conditions that makes it suitable as a tuning element for the resonator modes. If such a SQUID element is subject to a periodically varying magnetic flux, the resonator modes acquire frequency side bands. In this work we calculate the multi-frequency eigenmodes of resonators coupled to periodically driven SQUIDs and we use the Lagrange formalism to propose a theory for their quantization. The elementary excitations of a multi-frequency mode can couple resonantly to physical systems with different transition frequencies and this makes the resonator an efficient quantum bus for state transfer and coherent quantum operations in hybrid quantum systems. As an example of the application of our multi-frequency modes, we determine their coupling to transmon qubits with different frequencies and we present a bi-chromatic scheme for entanglement and gate operations.

description: Statistical models can involve implicitly defined quantities, such as solutions to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), that unavoidably need to be numerically approximated in order to evaluate the model. The approximation error inherently biases statistical inference results, but the amount of this bias is generally unknown and often ignored in Bayesian parameter inference. We propose a computationally efficient method for verifying the reliability of posterior inference for such models, when the inference is performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. We validate the efficiency and reliability of our workflow in experiments using simulated and real data, and different ODE solvers. We highlight problems that arise with commonly used adaptive ODE solvers, and propose robust and effective alternatives which, accompanied by our workflow, can now be taken into use without losing reliability of the inferences.

description: This paper proposes a clustering and merging approach for the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter to lower its computational complexity and make it suitable for multiple target tracking with a high number of targets. We define a measurement-driven clustering algorithm to reduce the data association problem into several subproblems, and we provide the derivation of the resulting clustered PMBM posterior density via Kullback-Leibler divergence minimisation. Furthermore, we investigate different strategies to reduce the number of single target hypotheses by approximating the posterior via merging and inter-track swapping of Bernoulli components. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm on simulated tracking scenarios with more than one thousand targets.

We identify the 10 major terrestrial and marine ecosystems in Australia most vulnerable to tipping points, in which modest environmental changes can cause disproportionately large changes in ecosystem properties. To accomplish this we independently surveyed the coauthors of this paper to produce a list of candidate ecosystems, and then refined this list during a 2-day workshop. The list includes (1) elevationally restricted mountain ecosystems, (2) tropical savannas, (3) coastal floodplains and wetlands, (4) coral reefs, (5) drier rainforests, (6) wetlands and floodplains in the Murray-Darling Basin, (7) the Mediterranean ecosystems of southwestern Australia, (8) offshore islands, (9) temperate eucalypt forests, and (10) salt marshes and mangroves. Some of these ecosystems are vulnerable to widespread phase-changes that could fundamentally alter ecosystem properties such as habitat structure, species composition, fire regimes, or carbon storage. Others appear susceptible to major changes across only part of their geographic range, whereas yet others are susceptible to a large-scale decline of key biotic components, such as small mammals or stream-dwelling amphibians. For each ecosystem we consider the intrinsic features and external drivers that render it susceptible to tipping points, and identify subtypes of the ecosystem that we deem to be especially vulnerable.

A mesocosm study was carried out to determine whether flooding affected soil microbial structure and function. Over a 24 day period soils were either flooded or remained dry and changes in the microbial community structure, microbial metabolic activity (determined by looking at soil respiration rates and exo-enzyme activity), community level physiological profiles and soil carbon speciation were examined. Flooding induced significant changes in the microbial community structure and increased soil respiration and enzymatic degradation rates. Shifts occurred in carbon speciation after flooding and increases in 'labile' carbon fractions were observed. The duration of flooding was also important for carbon dynamics and microbial community structure. Based on the results of the mesocosm experiment a conceptual model of floodplain soils response to flooding over time was formulated. The findings of this mesocosm study illustrate the importance of flooding to floodplain soil functioning.

description: The Historic Properties Component (HPC) is the portion of the Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) that relates to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The HPC establishes the procedures Fort Sam Houston (FSH) and its sub-installation Camp Bullis (CB) will follow in its management of historic properties. The HPC provides procedures for identification, evaluation, and determining and resolving the effects of undertakings on such properties. The purpose of this HPC is to enable compliance with Section 106 on a programmatic, as opposed to case-by-case, basis through certification to operate under the Army Alternate Procedures (AAP).

description: Transfer and integration of nanostructures onto target substrates is the prerequisite for their fundamental studies and practical applications. Conventional transfer techniques that involve stamping, lift-off and/or striping suffer from the process-specific drawbacks, such as the requirement for chemical etchant or high-temperature annealing and the introduction of surface discontinuities and/or contaminations that can greatly hinder the properties and functions of the transferred materials. Herein, we report a universal and rapid transfer method implementable at mild conditions. Nanostructures with various dimensionalities (i.e. nanoparticles, nanowires and nanosheets) and surface properties (i.e. hydrophilic and hydrophobic) can be facilely transferred to diverse substrates including hydrophilic, hydrophobic and flexible surfaces with good fidelity. Importantly, our method ensures the rapid and clean transfer of two-dimensional (2D) materials, and allows for the facile fabrication of vertical heterostructures with various compositions used for electronic devices. We believe that our method can facilitate the development of nano-electronics by accelerating the clean transfer and integration of low-dimensional materials into multidimensional structures.

Top-quark mass effects in double and triple Higgs production in gluon-gluon fusion at NLO

description: The observation of double and triple scalar boson production at hadron colliders could provide key information on the Higgs self couplings and the potential. As for single Higgs production the largest rates for multiple Higgs production come from gluon-gluon fusion processes mediated by a top-quark loop. However, at variance with single Higgs production, top-quark mass and width effects from the loops cannot be neglected. Computations including the exact top-quark mass dependence are only available at the leading order, and currently predictions at higher orders are obtained by means of approximations based on the Higgs-gluon effective field theory (HEFT). In this work we present a reweighting technique that, starting from events obtained via the MC@NLO method in the HEFT, allows to exactly include the top-quark mass and width effects coming from one- and two-loop amplitudes. We describe our approach and apply it to double Higgs production at NLO in QCD, computing the needed one-loop amplitudes and using approximations for the unknown two-loop ones. The results are compared to other approaches used in the literature, arguing that they provide more accurate predictions for distributions and for total rates as well. As a novel application of our procedure we present predictions at NLO in QCD for triple Higgs production at hadron colliders.

description: Geometric quantization is a natural way to construct quantum models starting from classical data. In this work, we start from a symplectic vector space with an inner product and -- using techniques of geometric quantization -- construct the quantum algebra and equip it with a distinguished state. We compare our result with the construction due to Sorkin -- which starts from the same input data -- and show that our distinguished state coincides with the Sorkin-Johnson state. Sorkin's construction was originally applied to the free scalar field over a causal set (locally finite, partially ordered set). Our perspective suggests a natural generalization to less linear examples, such as an interacting field.

Fake news
Supervised classification
Text analysis

description: Social media have democratized communication but have led to the explosion of the so-called "fake news" phenomenon. This problem has visible implications on global security, both political (e.g.the QANON case) and health ( anti-Covid vaccination and No-Vax fake news). Models that detect the problem in real time and on large amounts of data are needed. Digital methods and text classification procedures are able to do this through predictive approaches to identify a suspect message or author. This paper aims to apply a supervised model to the study of fake news on the Twittersphere to highlight its potential and preliminary limitations. The case study is the infodemic generated on social media during the first phase of the COVID-19 emergency. The application of the supervised model involved the use of a training and testing dataset. The different preliminary steps to build the training dataset are also shown, highlighting, with a critical approach, the challenges of working with supervised algorithms. Two aspects emerge. The first is that it is important to block the sources of bad information, before the information itself. The second is that algorithms could be sources of bias. Social media companies need to be very careful about relying on automated classification.

description: Gaussian processes are arguably the most important class of spatiotemporal models within machine learning. They encode prior information about the modeled function and can be used for exact or approximate Bayesian learning. In many applications, particularly in physical sciences and engineering, but also in areas such as geostatistics and neuroscience, invariance to symmetries is one of the most fundamental forms of prior information one can consider. The invariance of a Gaussian process' covariance to such symmetries gives rise to the most natural generalization of the concept of stationarity to such spaces. In this work, we develop constructive and practical techniques for building stationary Gaussian processes on a very large class of non-Euclidean spaces arising in the context of symmetries. Our techniques make it possible to (i) calculate covariance kernels and (ii) sample from prior and posterior Gaussian processes defined on such spaces, both in a practical manner. This work is split into two parts, each involving different technical considerations: part I studies compact spaces, while part II studies non-compact spaces possessing certain structure. Our contributions make the non-Euclidean Gaussian process models we study compatible with well-understood computational techniques available in standard Gaussian process software packages, thereby making them accessible to practitioners.

description: The primary choice to summarize a finite collection of random objects is by using measures of central tendency, such as mean and median. In the field of optimal transport, the Wasserstein barycenter corresponds to the Fréchet or geometric mean of a set of probability measures, which is defined as a minimizer of the sum of squared distances to each element in a given set with respect to the Wasserstein distance of order 2. We introduce the Wasserstein median as a robust alternative to the Wasserstein barycenter. The Wasserstein median corresponds to the Fréchet median under the 2-Wasserstein metric. The existence and consistency of the Wasserstein median are first established, along with its robustness property. In addition, we present a general computational pipeline that employs any recognized algorithms for the Wasserstein barycenter in an iterative fashion and demonstrate its convergence. The utility of the Wasserstein median as a robust measure of central tendency is demonstrated using real and simulated data.
