description: Direct-conversion transceivers are in demand, due to low implementation cost of analog front-ends. However, these transmitters or receivers introduce imperfections such as in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalances. In this paper, we first investigate the effect of I/Q imbalance on the performance of primary system, and show that these impairments can severely degrade the performance of cognitive radio system that are based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) multiple access scheme. Next, we design a new four-level hypothesis blind detector for spectrum sensing in such cognitive radio system, and show that the proposed detector is less vulnerable to I/Q imbalance than conventional two-level detectors.

description: The Energy-Prosumer-Model is used to simulate energy flows within a household or a neighborhood. The model is a bottom-up simulation model with the possibility to select different generation, storage and/or consumption modules in a household or a neighborhood. The simulation can be applied in a number of different locations and years. The Energy-Prosumer-Model is particularly well suited for exploring technology options and operating scenarios with regard to self-consumption, self-sufficiency, power feed-in, and power purchase of electricity at the local level. The model was developed in 2010 and has been continuously enhanced and extended with new functionalities for a variety of different use cases. This documentation reflects the current state of development and will be updated regularly. Hence, this documentation can be understood as a living document. On the heating side, the underlying functions, assumptions, inputs and outputs of heating circuit, thermal storage, electric heater, condensing boiler, heat pump and solar thermal are described. On the electric side the modules photovoltaic, wind turbine and battery are described.

description: Let $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a lattice polytope of dimension $d$. Let $b$ denote the number of lattice points belonging to the boundary of $\mathcal{P}$ and $c$ that to the interior of $\mathcal{P}$. It follows from a lower bound theorem of Ehrhart polynomials that, when $c > 0$, the volume of $\mathcal{P}$ is bigger than or equal to $(dc + (d-1)b - d^2 + 2)/d!$. In the present paper, via triangulations, a short and elementary proof of the minimal volume formula is given.

description: We revisit an extension of the Standard Model with Majorana fermions in the adjoint representations. There, a precise coupling unification and the good candidate for dark matter (the $SU(2)_L$ triplet fermion) are achieved simultaneously. In particular, we show that the $SU(3)_c$ octet fermion which is required for successful unification can be a good non-thermal source of the triplet fermion dark matter. We also show that the scenario predicts a rather short lifetime of the proton compared with the supersymmetric Standard Model, and the most parameter space can be explored by the future experiments such as the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.

description: We demonstrate a general and facile method to fabricate all-solid-state flexible micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) with micropatterned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) electrodes via mask-free micro-plasma-jet etching in ambient conditions. Localized pulsed plasma jet etches the MWNTs rapidly and produces the interdigitated electrode patterns by scanning. This mask-free patterning technique is easy operated, cost-effective, readily scalable, free from photoresist contamination and applicable to various kinds of carbon-based materials. A solid-state polyvinyl alcohol-H3PO4 gel electrolyte is introduced to realize an all-solid-state flexible MSC assembly. Cyclic voltammetry measurements exhibit the expected electrical double layer behavior. The fabricated MSC with twelve interdigitated electrodes exhibits a stack capacitance of 2.02 F cm−3 at a scan rate of 10 mV s−1. Moreover, the MSC shows stable performance under repeated bending, with retention of 98.2% of capacitance after 600 bending cycles. Furthermore, both the output voltage and the total capacitance of the MSC could be controlled via the serial or parallel connection.

description: We determine the dynamical critical exponent, $z$, appearing at the Bose glass to superfluid transition in two dimensions by performing large scale numerical studies of two microscopically different quantum models within the universality class; The hard-core boson model and the quantum rotor (soft core) model, both subject to strong on-site disorder. By performing many simulations at different system size, $L$, and inverse temperature, $β$, close to the quantum critical point, the position of the critical point and the critical exponents, $z$, $ν$ and $η$ can be determined independently of any prior assumptions of the numerical value of $z$. This is done by a careful scaling analysis close to the critical point with a particular focus on the temperature dependence of the scaling functions. For the hard-core boson model we find $z=1.88(8), ν=0.99(3)$ and $η=-0.16(8)$ with a critical field of $h_c=4.79(3)$, while for the quantum rotor model we find $z=1.99(5), ν=1.00(2)$ and $η=-0.3(1)$ with a critical hopping parameter of $t_c=0.0760(5)$. In both cases do we find a correlation length exponent consistent with $ν=1$, saturating the bound $ν\ge 2/d$ as well as a value of $z$ significantly larger than previous studies, and for the quantum rotor model consistent with $z=d$.

multiple sclerosis

description: Summary. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system. More than 2.5 million people suffer from this disease worldwide. It is assumed that the autoimmune response to myelin antigens in the CNS is the main cause of the disease. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a widely used animal model for studying MS. However, EAE models resemble only particular aspects of MS pathogenesis. EAE is classically induced with the CNS antigens emulsified in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA). CFA consists of paraffin oil supplemented with Mycobacterium, and its application potentiates the innate immune response and prolongs the presence and effective transport of antigen in the lymphatic system. However, CFA has a confounding influence on the results and the translational capacity as a multiple sclerosis model. Our group has successfully excluded CFA from the immunization regime. In a recent study, we compared clinical, histological, cellular, and molecular properties between spinal cord homogenate (SCH) and SCH+CFA immunized Dark Agouti rats. We have observed a higher clinical score in rats without CFA, and a more significant number of immune cell infiltrates at the peak of EAE in the same animals. Further, a stronger myelin basic protein-specific T cell immune response is evoked in the draining lymph nodes of CFA-free compared to CFA immunized rats. In the CNS, a high abundance of CD8+ T cells is detected at the onset of the disease. Also, enrichment in CD8+ and CD4+ macrophages was observed in the CNS during EAE. Therefore, CFA-free EAE is a reliable model for studying CNS autoimmunity.

description: We provide an $F(R)$ gravity description of a $Λ$CDM bouncing model, without the need for matter fluids or for cosmological constant. As we explicitly demonstrate, the two cosmological eras that constitute the $Λ$CDM bouncing model, can be generated by $F(R)$ gravity which can lead to accelerating cosmologies. The resulting F(R) gravity has Einstein frame inflationary properties that have concordance to the latest Planck observational data. Both the $F(R)$ gravity stability properties are thoroughly investigated and also, the gravitational particle production, a feature necessary for the viability of the $Λ$CDM bounce scenario, is also addressed. As we will show, the $Λ$CDM bounce model can be successfully described by pure $F(R)$ gravity, with appealing phenomenological attributes, which we extensively discuss.

description: Seriation methods order a set of descriptions given some criterion (e.g., unimodality or minimum distance between similarity scores). Seriation is thus inherently a problem of finding the optimal solution among a set of permutations of objects. In this short technical note, we review the combinatorial structure of the classical seriation problem, which seeks a single solution out of a set of objects. We then extend those results to the iterative frequency seriation approach introduced by Lipo (1997), which finds optimal subsets of objects which each satisfy the unimodality criterion within each subset. The number of possible solutions across multiple solution subsets is larger than $n!$, which underscores the need to find new algorithms and heuristics to assist in the deterministic frequency seriation problem.

Year: 2019

description: This report presents the summary of the scientific and technical discussions in the ARIES WP7 Task 7.2 on Injection and Injection Subsystems for ring with Ultra-Low emittance. The development of such rings is strongly influenced by the apertures available for the beam (dynamic and momentum apertures) and by the capabilities of the injection systems to allow an efficient and transparent capture of the injected beam. Advances in these topics have in fact open the route to ever more aggressive lattice designs, hence reducing the equilibrium emittance to tens of pm. The corresponding technological challenges, in terms of kickers and pulsers were also extensively
 discussed and no serious showstopper was identified.

Distant foreground and the Hubble constant tension
Creators: name: Yershov, Vladimir
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is possible to explain the discrepancy (tension) between the local measurement of the cosmological parameter $H_0$ (the Hubble constant) and its value derived from the Planck-mission measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) by considering contamination of the CMB by emission from some medium surrounding distant extragalactic sources (a distant foreground), such as extremely cold coarse-grain (grey) dust. As any other foreground, it would alter the CMB power spectrum and contribute to the dispersion of CMB temperature fluctuations. By generating random samples of CMB with different dispersions, we have checked that the increased dispersion leads to a smaller estimated value of $H_0$, the rest of the cosmological model parameters remaining fixed. This might explain the reduced value of the {\it Planck}-derived parameter $H_0$ with respect to the local measurements. The cold grey dust for some time has been suspected to populate intergalactic space and it is known to be almost undetectable, except for the effect of dimming remote extragalactic sources.

description: The realm of cloud computing has revolutionized access to cloud resources and their utilization and applications over the Internet. However, deploying cloud computing for delay critical applications and reducing the delay in access to the resources are challenging. The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) paradigm is one of the effective solutions, which brings the cloud computing services to the proximity
of the edge network and leverages the available resources. This paper presents a survey of the latest and
state-of-the-art algorithms, techniques, and concepts of MEC. The proposed work is unique in that the most
novel algorithms are considered, which are not considered by the existing surveys. Moreover, the chosen
novel literature of the existing researchers is classified in terms of performance metrics by describing
the realms of promising performance and the regions where the margin of improvement exists for future
investigation for the future researchers. This also eases the choice of a particular algorithm for a particular
application. As compared to the existing surveys, the bibliometric overview is provided, which is further
helpful for the researchers, engineers, and scientists for a thorough insight, application selection, and future
consideration for improvement. In addition, applications related to the MEC platform are presented. Open
research challenges, future directions, and lessons learned in area of the MEC are provided for further future
investigation.

description: Carbon cloth (CC) is an inexpensive and highly conductive textile with excellent mechanical flexibility and strength; it holds great promise as an electrode material for flexible supercapacitors. However, pristine CC has such a low surface area and poor electrochemical activity that the energy storage capability is usually very poor. Herein, we report a green method, two-step electrochemical activation in an aqueous solution of inorganic salts, to significantly enhance the capacitance of CC for supercapacitor application. Micro-cracks, exfoliated carbon fiber shells, and oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs) were introduced onto the surface of the carbon filament. This resulted in an enhancement of over two orders of magnitude in capacitance compared to that of the bare CC electrode, reaching up to a maximum areal capacitance of 505.5 mF cm-2 at the current density of 6 mA cm-2 in aqueous H2SO4 electrolyte. Electrochemical reduction of CC electrodes led to the removal of most electrochemically unstable surface OFGs, resulting in superior charging/discharging rate capability and excellent cycling stability. Although the activated CC electrode contained a high-level of surface oxygen functional groups (∼15 at%), it still exhibited a remarkable charging-discharging rate capability, retaining ∼88% of the capacitance when the charging rate increased from 6 to 48 mA cm-2. Moreover, the activated CC electrode exhibited excellent cycling stability with ∼97% capacitance remaining after 10000 cycles at a current density of 24 mA cm-2. A symmetrical supercapacitor based on the activated CC exhibited an ideal capacitive behavior and fast charge-discharge properties. Such a simple, environment-friendly, and cost-effective strategy to activate CC shows great potential in the fabrication of high-performance flexible supercapacitors.

description: To examine the ionic migrations on atomic level in metal chalcogenide phonon glasses, 63Cu solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was performed in an archetype CuAgSe compound. The observed characteristic motional narrowing effect in the superionic state provide clear evidence for the model of single ion-hopping instead of free-ion-like motion. We further find, for the first time, that thermal conductivity is strongly correlated with cation dynamics revealed by NMR within the range of temperatures investigated. This investigation provides better understanding how microscopic structure affects thermal transport properties which is of current interest in transition-metal chalcogenide based fast ion conductors.

description: Fallacies are used as seemingly valid arguments to support a position and persuade the audience about its validity. Recognizing fallacies is an intrinsically difficult task both for humans and machines. Moreover, a big challenge for computational models lies in the fact that fallacies are formulated differently across the datasets with differences in the input format (e.g., question-answer pair, sentence with fallacy fragment), genre (e.g., social media, dialogue, news), as well as types and number of fallacies (from 5 to 18 types per dataset). To move towards solving the fallacy recognition task, we approach these differences across datasets as multiple tasks and show how instruction-based prompting in a multitask setup based on the T5 model improves the results against approaches built for a specific dataset such as T5, BERT or GPT-3. We show the ability of this multitask prompting approach to recognize 28 unique fallacies across domains and genres and study the effect of model size and prompt choice by analyzing the per-class (i.e., fallacy type) results. Finally, we analyze the effect of annotation quality on model performance, and the feasibility of complementing this approach with external knowledge.

description: Water at hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups interact differently with proteins. Particularly, hydration properties at hydrophobic groups undergo qualitative changes as temperature decreases below 10 °C. The influence of such interfacial changes on protein dynamics and thermodynamics remains largely unexplored. Here, nanosecond to microsecond protein dynamics and the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of protein hydration are investigated by in-situ NMR as a function of hydration level and temperature. A crossover at 10 °C in protein dynamics and thermodynamics is revealed. The influence of water at hydrophilic groups shows little temperature dependence, whereas water at hydrophobic groups has stronger effect above 10 °C.

description: This research MSc thesis introduces a pioneering exploration of augmented reality (AR) combined with audio elements, which represents a relatively unexplored field within AR technology. This research focuses on the augmentation of reality by incorporating both visual and auditory content. The challenges encountered in this domain revolve around AR's interaction capabilities and the accurate registration of visual and sound elements within noisy, bright, and busy outdoor environments. To address these challenges, this thesis presents a novel and mobile AR experience deployed in the city of Chania, located in Crete, Greece. This AR experience is designed to enhance the exploration of six archaeological excavation sites while walking through the city. The proposed approach employs cutting-edge gamification techniques, non-linear storytelling, precise AR visualization, and spatial audio to provide players with an innovative and engaging AR interaction while discovering the city's rich archaeological sites and history in an outdoor setting. Additionally, we implemented a dynamic lighting technique to match the 3D content's illumination as viewed on the screen (central vision) to the day-time lighting of the real-world (peripheral vision) based on real-time weather information.

description: The internet is considered as the most extensive market in the world. To keep its gradual reputation, it must confront real problems that result from its distribution and from the diversity of the protocols used to insure communications. The Web service technology has diminished significantly the effects of distribution and heterogeneity, but there are several problems that weaken their performance (unavailability, load increase of use, high cost of CPU time...). Faced with this situation, we are forced to move in the direction of the substitution of web services. In this context, we propose an effective technique of substitution based on a new method of matching that allows detecting and expressing the matching between the web services pairwise by considering that each of them is ontology. Also, our method performs a discovery of the most similar web service to that to be replaced by using an efficient method of similarity measurement.

In this case, the neutrino luminosity is lower than the luminosity during a supernova explosion approximately by five orders of magnitude, while the energy carried away by neutrinos is low compared to the explosion energy. We also show that the energy losses through neutrinos do not hinder the envelope heating and the cumulation of the shock during its breakout and the acceleration of the outer part of the envelope to ultrarelativistic speeds.

description: In this work, a mask-free method is introduced for patterned nitrogen doping of graphene using a micro-plasma jet under ambient condition. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra indicate that nitrogen atoms are incorporated into the graphene lattice with the two-dimensional spatial distribution precisely controlled in the range of mm down to 10 μm. Since the chemistry of the micro-plasma jet can be controlled by the choice of the gas mixture, this direct writing process with micro-plasma jet can be a versatile approach for patterned functionalization of graphene with high spatial resolution. This could have promising applications in graphene-based electronics.

Dynamic facilitation between adjacent flow events in the supercooled liquid is believed to be crucial in the process of glass transition. In this work, it is shown that shear dilatation-based dynamic facilitation plays an important role in the supercooled liquid state of Zr 58.5Cu15.6Al10.3Ni12.8Nb 2.8, as revealed by the observed strain rate softening in the stress-strain curves above Tg = 684 K. Interestingly, along with strain rate softening, damped oscillations in the stress-strain curve emerge below 713 K, suggesting large-scale correlation between flow events as temperature approaches Tg. Such oscillations are absent above 713 K although strain rate softening remains even at 733 K. Analysis indicates that facilitation and correlation are both crucial for the flow of metallic supercooled liquid approaching Tg.

description: The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is growing rapidly. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is one of the common healthcare applications that assist doctors to monitor patients with chronic or acute illness at remote locations, elderly people in-home care, and even hospitalized patients. The reliability of manual patient monitoring systems depends on staff time management which is dependent on their workload. Conventional patient monitoring involves invasive approaches which require skin contact to monitor health status. This study aims to do a comprehensive review of RPM systems including adopted advanced technologies, AI impact on RPM, challenges and trends in AI-enabled RPM. This review explores the benefits and challenges of patient-centric RPM architectures enabled with Internet of Things wearable devices and sensors using the cloud, fog, edge, and blockchain technologies. The role of AI in RPM ranges from physical activity classification to chronic disease monitoring and vital signs monitoring in emergency settings. This review results show that AI-enabled RPM architectures have transformed healthcare monitoring applications because of their ability to detect early deterioration in patients' health, personalize individual patient health parameter monitoring using federated learning, and learn human behavior patterns using techniques such as reinforcement learning. This review discusses the challenges and trends to adopt AI to RPM systems and implementation issues. The future directions of AI in RPM applications are analyzed based on the challenges and trends

description: For the first time in mathematical finance field, we propose the local weak form meshless methods for option pricing; especially in this paper we select and analysis two schemes of them named local boundary integral equation method (LBIE) based on moving least squares approximation (MLS) and local radial point interpolation (LRPI) based on Wu's compactly supported radial basis functions (WCS-RBFs). LBIE and LRPI schemes are the truly meshless methods, because, a traditional non-overlapping, continuous mesh is not required, either for the construction of the shape functions, or for the integration of the local sub-domains. In this work, the American option which is a free boundary problem, is reduced to a problem with fixed boundary using a Richardson extrapolation technique. Then the $θ$-weighted scheme is employed for the time derivative. Stability analysis of the methods is analyzed and performed by the matrix method. In fact, based on an analysis carried out in the present paper, the methods are unconditionally stable for implicit Euler (θ= 0) and Crank-Nicolson (θ= 0.5) schemes. It should be noted that LBIE and LRPI schemes lead to banded and sparse system matrices. Therefore, we use a powerful iterative algorithm named the Bi-conjugate gradient stabilized method (BCGSTAB) to get rid of this system. Numerical experiments are presented showing that the LBIE and LRPI approaches are extremely accurate and fast.

title:  Figure della miseria e della contro-miseria: i ceti popolari contemporanei tra neo-populismo e radicalizzazione. Alcune ipotesi interpretative
Creators: name: Antonelli, Francesco
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this paper is to advance some hypothesis on social and political condition of the new popular classes in Europe. After discussing the theoretical point of view, in second paragraph the paper is focused on the key category of “popular class” moving then – in the third and the fourth paragraph – to analyze some sociological characteristics of it, both as “social actor” and “social condition”. The main rising hypothesis are that popular classes, as “social condition”, are characterized by misery and sociopolitical disintegration; as social actor, they are characterized by neo‐populism (inside popular class) and neofundamentalism (outside popular class).

description: The magnetic and electrical behaviors of an optimizing doping (La 0.73Bi0.27)0.67Ca0.33MnO 3 were investigated. An avalanche transition with a super-bandwidth of magnetic field response, in which the magnetic field sweep rate ranging from 10 Oe/s to 4886.8 T/s, was observed in the manganite. The insensitivity of the critical field of the avalanche transition to the magnetic field weep rates could not be described well within the framework of martensitic transition scenario. Based on the hybridization between the Bi3-6s lone pair electrons and O2-2p electrons, we assume that the observed super-bandwidth avalanche transition is an intrinsic behavior resulting from the s-p hybridization. The robust transition makes the material extremely attractive for potential applications in super-bandwidth magnetic field response sensor. The simple structure of the current system also provides an ideal platform for understanding the physics underlying the avalanche transition.
title:  Pubblico consumo. Beck e l’ansia produttiva come medium dell’insicurezza
Creators: name: Lombardinilo, Andrea

description: This paper aims at investigating the role that the theory of the technical reproducibility of the work of art proposed by Walter Benjamin had in the construction of the sociology of risk pursued by Ulrich Beck, with particular reference to the connection between cultural uncertainty, informative standardization and identity removal. The risk society looms as the result of the medial inflation of contents, images and information, bound to develop an hyper‐representation of the postmodern risks, interpreted by the actors in connection with the public ordeal. This kind of diffusion is tied to the technical reproducibility of the aesthetic experience, which determines the passing of the traditional values peculiar of the cultural heritage. This is one of the theoretical assumption of the sociology of risk drawn by Beck, who gives Benjamin the credit to have foreshadowed the connection between technical reproducibility of the collective meanings and the medial representation of the social risks, hanging between narration and uncertainty.

description: Metallic surface is intrinsically hydrophilic due to its high surface energy. In this work, we present a different picture that highly hydrophobic metallic coatings could be directly fabricated by thermal spraying of Fe-based amorphous powders through the surface roughness control. These hydrophobic coatings are amorphous, exhibiting super-high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. With low surface energy modification, the coatings become superhydrophobic and exhibit clearly self-cleaning effect. The present work opens a window for the applications of the amorphous coatings.

description: In 1995 Doebner and Mann introduced an approach to the ray representations of the Galilei group in ($1+1$)-dimensions, giving rise to quantum generators with an explicit dependence on time. Recently (2004) Wawrzycki proposed a generalization of Bargmann's theory: in his paper he introduce phase exponents that are explicitely dependent by 4-space point. In order to find applications of such generalization, we extend the approach of Doebner and Mann to higher dimensions: as a result, we determine the generators of the ray representation in ($2+1$) and ($3+1$) dimensions. The differences of the outcoming formal apparatus with respect to the smaller dimension case are established.
