Subjects: SECS-P/02 Politica economica

description: We study the behavioral underpinnings of adopting cash versus electronic payments in retail transactions. A novel theoretical and experimental framework is developed to primarily assess the impact of sellers’ service fees and buyers’ rewards from using electronic payments. Buyers and sellers face a coordination problem, independently choosing a payment method before trading. In the experiment, sellers readily adopt electronic payments but buyers do not. Eliminating service fees or introducing rewards significantly boosts the adoption of electronic payments. Hence, buyers’ incentives play a pivotal role in the diffusion of electronic payments but monetary incentives cannot fully explain their adoption choices. Findings from this experiment complement empirical findings based on surveys and field data.

description: A series of Co_xCu_{100-x} (x = 0, 40...75, 100) layers with thicknesses in-between 13 nm and 55 nm were prepared on silicon substrates using cross-beam pulsed laser deposition. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrical transport measurements revealed a structure consisting of decomposed cobalt and copper grains with grain sizes of about 10 nm. The influence of cobalt content and layer thickness on the grain size is discussed. Electron diffraction (ED) indicates the presence of an intermetallic Co-Cu phase of Cu3Au structure-type. Thermal treatment at temperatures between 525 K and 750 K results in the progressive decomposition of Co and Cu, with an increase of the grain sizes up to about 100 nm. This is tunable by controlling the temperature and duration of the anneal, and is directly observable in WAXRD patterns and TEM images. A careful analysis of grain size and the coherence length of the radiation used allows for an accurate interpretation of the X-ray diffraction patterns, by taking into account coherent and non-coherent scattering. The alloy films show a giant magnetoresistance of 1...2.3 % with the maximum obtained after annealing at around 725 K.

Initiation of Coronal Mass Ejections in a Global Evolution Model

description: Loss of equilibrium of magnetic flux ropes is a leading candidate for the origin of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The aim of this paper is to explore to what extent this mechanism can account for the initiation of CMEs in the global context. A simplified MHD model for the global coronal magnetic field evolution in response to flux emergence and shearing by large-scale surface motions is described and motivated. Using automated algorithms for detecting flux ropes and ejections in the global magnetic model, the effects of key simulation parameters on the formation of flux ropes and the number of ejections are considered, over a 177-day period in 1999. These key parameters include the magnitude and sign of magnetic helicity emerging in active regions, and coronal diffusion. The number of flux ropes found in the simulation at any one time fluctuates between about 28 and 48, sustained by the emergence of new bipolar regions, but with no systematic dependence on the helicity of these regions. However, the emerging helicity does affect the rate of flux rope ejections, which doubles from 0.67 per day if the bipoles emerge untwisted to 1.28 per day in the run with greatest emerging twist. The number of ejections in the simulation is also increased by 20%-30% by choosing the majority sign of emerging bipole helicity in each hemisphere, or by halving the turbulent diffusivity in the corona. For reasonable parameter choices, the model produces approximately 50% of the observed CME rate. This indicates that the formation and loss of equilibrium of flux ropes may be a key element in explaining a significant fraction of observed CMEs.

description: Following some of the recent articles on hole super-conductivity and related phenomena by Hirsch \cite{H1,H2,H3}, a simple model is proposed to explain the observed low surface magnetic field of the expected quark stars. It is argued that the diamagnetic moments of the electrons circulating in the electro-sphere induce a magnetic field, which forces the existing quark star magnetic flux density to become dilute. We have also analysed the instability of normal-superconducting interface due to excess accumulation of magnetic flux lines, assuming an extremely slow growth of superconducting phase through a first order bubble nucleation type transition.

The physical city and the urban structure: detecting amenity zones and applying urban morphology to New York
Creators: name: Ravazzoli, Elisa <1981>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2011
Subjects: M-GGR/01 Geografia

description: The city is a collection of built structures and infrastructure embedded in socio-cultural processes: any investigation into a city’s transformations involves considerations on the degree to which its composite elements respond to socio-economical changes. The main purpose of this research is to investigate how transformations in the functional requirements of New York’s society have spurred, since the 1970s, changes in both the city’s urban structure and physical form. The present work examines the rise of Amenity Zones in New York, and investigates the transformations that have occurred in New York’s built environment since the 1970s. 
By applying qualitative measures and analyzing the relationship between urban amenities and the creative class, the present work has investigated changes in the urban structure and detected a hierarchical series of amenity zones classes, namely, Super Amenity Zones (SAZs), Nodal Amenity Zones (NAZs) and Peripheral Amenity Zones (PAZs). This series allows for a more comprehensive reading of the urban structure in a complex city like New York, bringing advancements to the amenity zone’s methodology. 
In order to examine the manner in which the other component of the city, the physical form, has changed or adapted to the new socio-economic condition, the present research has applied Conzenian analysis to a select study area, Atlantic Avenue. The results of this analysis reveal that, contrary to the urban structure, which changes rapidly, the physical form of New York is hard to modify completely, due to the resilience of the town plan and its elements, and to preservation laws; the city rather adapts to socio-economical changes through process of adaptive reuses or conversion. 
Concluding, this research has examined the dialectic between the ever-changing needs of society and the complexity of the built environment and urban structure, showing the different degrees to which the urban landscape modifies, reacts and sometimes adapts to the population’s functional requirements.

description: Being able to adequately process and combine data arising from different sites is crucial in neuroimaging, but is difficult, owing to site, sequence and acquisition-parameter dependent biases. It is important therefore to design algorithms that are not only robust to images of differing contrasts, but also be able to generalise well to unseen ones, with a quantifiable measure of uncertainty. In this paper we demonstrate the efficacy of a physics-informed, uncertainty-aware, segmentation network that employs augmentation-time MR simulations and homogeneous batch feature stratification to achieve acquisition invariance. We show that the proposed approach also accurately extrapolates to out-of-distribution sequence samples, providing well calibrated volumetric bounds on these. We demonstrate a significant improvement in terms of coefficients of variation, backed by uncertainty based volumetric validation.

description: The paper deals with the Weyl equation which is the massless Dirac equation. We study the Weyl equation in the stationary setting, i.e. when the spinor field oscillates harmonically in time. We suggest a new geometric interpretation of the stationary Weyl equation, one which does not require the use of spinors, Pauli matrices or covariant differentiation. We think of our 3-dimensional space as an elastic continuum and assume that material points of this continuum can experience no displacements, only rotations. This framework is a special case of the Cosserat theory of elasticity. Rotations of material points of the space continuum are described mathematically by attaching to each geometric point an orthonormal basis which gives a field of orthonormal bases called the coframe. As the dynamical variables (unknowns) of our theory we choose the coframe and a density. We choose a particular potential energy which is conformally invariant and then incorporate time into our action in the standard Newtonian way, by subtracting kinetic energy. The main result of our paper is the theorem stating that in the stationary setting our model is equivalent to a pair of Weyl equations. The crucial element of the proof is the observation that our Lagrangian admits a factorization.

description: The scope of my research project is to produce and characterize new crystalline forms of organic compounds, focusing the attention on co-crystals and then transferring these notions on APIs to produce co-crystals of potential interest in the pharmaceutical field. In the first part of this work co-crystallization experiments were performed using as building blocks the family of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids HOOC-(CH2)n-COOH, with n= 2-8. This class of compounds has always been an object of study because it is characterized by an interesting phenomenon of alternation of melting points: the acids with an even number of carbon atoms show a melting point higher than those with an odd one. The acids were co-crystallized with four dipyridyl molecules (formed by two pyridine rings with a different number of bridging carbon atoms) through the formation of intermolecular interactions N•••(H)O. The bases used were: 4,4’-bipyridine (BPY), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (BPA), 1,2-(di-4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (BPP). The co-crystals obtained by solution synthesis were characterized by different solid-state techniques to determine the structure and to see how the melting points in co-crystals change. In the second part of this study we tried to obtain new crystal forms of compounds of pharmaceutical interest. The APIs studied are: O-desmethylvenlafaxine, Lidocaine, Nalidixic Acid and Sulfadiazine. Each API was subjected to Polymorph Screening and Salt/Co-crystal Screening experiments to identify new crystal forms characterized by different properties. In a typical Salt/Co-crystal Screening the sample was made to react with a co-former (solid or liquid) through different methods: crystallization by solution, grinding, kneading and solid-gas reactions. The new crystal forms obtained were characterized by different solid state techniques (X-ray single crystal diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermogravimetric Analysis, Evolved gas analysis, FT-IR – ATR, Solid State N.M.R).

description: We discuss a new way to develop the exactly solvable model of the QCD critical endpoint by matching the deconfinement phase transition line for the system of quark-gluon bags with the line of their vanishing surface tension coefficient. In contrast to all previous findings in such models the deconfined phase is defined not by an essential singularity of the isobaric partition function, but by its simple pole. As a result we find out that the first order deconfinement phase transition which is defined by a discontinuity of the first derivative of system pressure is generated by a discontinuity of the derivative of surface tension coefficient.

description: To date the hospital radiological workflow is completing  a transition from analog to digital technology. Since the X-rays digital detection technologies have become mature, hospitals are trading on the natural devices turnover to replace the conventional screen film devices with digital ones. The transition process is complex and involves not just the equipment replacement but also new arrangements for image  transmission, display (and reporting) and storage.
This work is focused on 2D digital detector’s characterization with a concern to specific clinical application;  the systems features linked to the image quality are analyzed to assess the clinical performances, the conversion efficiency, and the minimum dose necessary to get an acceptable image.
The first section overviews the digital detector technologies focusing on the recent and promising technological developments.
The second section contains a description of the characterization methods considered in this thesis categorized in physical, psychophysical and clinical; theory, models and procedures are described as well.
The third section contains a set of characterizations performed on new equipments that appears to be some of the most advanced technologies available to date.
The fourth section deals with some procedures and schemes employed for quality assurance programs.

description: Design parameters, process flows, electro-thermal-fluidic simulations and experimental characterizations of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) suited for gas-chromatographic (GC) applications are presented and thoroughly described in this thesis, whose topic belongs to the research activities the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM)-Bologna is involved since several years, i.e. the development of micro-systems for chemical analysis, based on silicon micro-machining techniques and able to perform analysis of complex gaseous mixtures, especially in the field of environmental monitoring.
In this regard, attention has been focused on the development of micro-fabricated devices to be employed in a portable mini-GC system for the analysis of aromatic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) like Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-benzene and Xylene (BTEX), i.e. chemical compounds which can significantly affect environment and human health because of their demonstrated carcinogenicity (benzene) or toxicity (toluene, xylene) even at parts per billion (ppb) concentrations.
The most significant results achieved through the laboratory functional characterization of the mini-GC system have been reported, together with in-field analysis results carried out in a station of the Bologna air monitoring network and compared with those provided by a commercial GC system.
The development of more advanced prototypes of micro-fabricated devices specifically suited for FAST-GC have been also presented (silicon capillary columns, Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Metal OXide (MOX) sensor, Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD)), together with the technological processes for their fabrication.
The experimentally demonstrated very high sensitivity of ULP-MOX sensors to VOCs, coupled with the extremely low power consumption, makes the developed ULP-MOX sensor the most performing metal oxide sensor reported up to now in literature, while preliminary test results proved that the developed silicon capillary columns are capable of performances comparable to those of the best fused silica capillary columns.
Finally, the development and the validation of a coupled electro-thermal Finite Element Model suited for both steady-state and transient analysis of the micro-devices has been described, and subsequently implemented with a fluidic part to investigate devices behaviour in presence of a gas flowing with certain volumetric flow rates.

description: The Adaptive Optics is the measurement and correction in real time of the wavefront aberration of the star light caused by the atmospheric turbulence, that limits the angular resolution of ground based telescopes and thus their capabilities to deep explore faint and crowded astronomical objects. The lack of natural stars enough bright to be used as reference sources for the Adaptive Optics, over a relevant fraction of the sky, led to the introduction of artificial reference stars. The so-called Laser Guide Stars are produced by exciting the Sodium atoms in a layer laying at 90km of altitude, by a powerful laser beam projected toward the sky. The possibility to turn on a reference star close to the scientific targets of interest has the drawback in an increased difficulty in the wavefront measuring, mainly due to the time instability of the Sodium layer density. These issues are increased with the telescope diameter. In view of the construction of the 42m diameter European Extremely Large Telescope a detailed investigation of the achievable performances of Adaptive Optics becomes mandatory to exploit its unique angular resolution . 
The goal of this Thesis was to present a complete description of a laboratory Prototype development simulating a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor using Laser Guide Stars as references, in the expected conditions for a 42m telescope. From the conceptual design, through the opto-mechanical design, to the Assembly, Integration and Test, all the phases of the Prototype construction are explained. The tests carried out shown the reliability of the images produced by the Prototype that agreed with the numerical simulations. For this reason some possible upgrades regarding the opto-mechanical design are presented,  to extend the system functionalities and let the Prototype become a more complete test bench to simulate the performances and drive the future  Adaptive Optics modules design.

description: Theory of exciton fine structure in semiconductor quantum dots and its dependence on quantum dot anisotropy and external lateral electric field is presented. The effective exciton Hamiltonian including long range electron-hole exchange interaction is derived within the k*p effective mass approximation (EMA). The exchange matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are expressed explicitly in terms of electron and hole envelope functions. The matrix element responsible for the "bright" exciton splitting is identified and analyzed. An excitonic fine structure for a model quantum dot with quasi- two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic oscillator (2DLAHO) confining potential is analyzed as a function of the shape anisotropy, size and applied lateral electric field.

description: We consider wave packets of free particles with a general energy-momentum dispersion relation $E(p)$. The spreading of the wave packet is determined by the velocity $v = \p_p E$. The position-velocity uncertainty relation $Δx Δv \geq {1/2} |< \p_p^2 E >|$ is saturated by minimal uncertainty wave packets $Φ(p) = A \exp(- αE(p) + βp)$. In addition to the standard minimal Gaussian wave packets corresponding to the non-relativistic dispersion relation $E(p) = p^2/2m$, analytic calculations are presented for the spreading of wave packets with minimal position-velocity uncertainty product for the lattice dispersion relation $E(p) = - \cos(p a)/m a^2$ as well as for the relativistic dispersion relation $E(p) = \sqrt{p^2 + m^2}$. The boost properties of moving relativistic wave packets as well as the propagation of wave packets in an expanding Universe are also discussed.

description: Oestrogen induction of cell proliferation is critical in carcinogenesis of gynaecologic  tissues. The effects of oestrogens are mediated by Oestrogen receptor (ER) ERα and ERβ, which are members of the nuclear steroid receptor superfamily. The balance between the ERα/ERβ levels seems critical during carcinogenesis due to their different role in proliferation and apoptosis. SERMs are a class of drugs targeting ERs used especially in the treatment of breast cancer, that despite their usefulness,  cause side effects. Therefore, it’s important to develop new active molecules without side effects.
In a previous work Andreani et al.(2007) investigated the antitumor activity of a new class of indole-derivatives in 60 different human cancer cell lines. In particular they noted that compound named 3L was able to induce a strong antiproliferative effect in cell lines derived from breast, cervix, ovary ,CNS and colon.
The aim of this thesis is to characterize the biological effect in ovarian carcinoma cells (IGROV-1), colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT29), cervix adenocarcinoma cells (HelaS3) and breast cancer cells (MCF7).
Among the effect exerted on the other cell lines, the most interesting is the cytostatic effect on IGROV-1. 
In order to identify the 3L molecular target we monitored the 3L concentration in the IGROV-1 nuclear fractions. The analysis revealed that the drug localizes in the nucleus starting from 6 hrs after treatment, suggesting a nuclear target. The stimulation with oestrogen did not increase the proliferation rate in 3L treated cells, suggesting a possible involvement with oestrogen receptors. 
Due to the 3L fluorescent properties, we demonstrated a colocalization between the ER and the 3L compound. In particular, a chromatin binding assay revealed the presence of a 3L-ERβ complex bound  to DNA,  interaction that may be the cause of  the observed antiproliferative effect.

description: The next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to top anti-top bottom anti-bottom (tTbB) production at the LHC reveal that the scale choice adopted in previous lowest-order simulations underestimates the tTbB cross section by a factor two. We discuss a new dynamical scale that stabilizes the perturbative predictions and describe the impact of the corrections on the shape of distributions. We also account for the techniques employed to compute the six-particle one-loop amplitudes with high CPU efficiency.

description: The transition from a proportional to a self quenching streamer mode, as a function of track length and angle, was investigated in a single wire chamber filled with either pure DME or isobutane. The chamber was irradiated with $^{241}$Am alpha particles. An investigation of multistreamer events in DME due to alpha particles entering the chamber at 20$^\circ$ with track length 4 mm gave an estimate of a dead zone, defined as the product of dead length and dead time, to be less than 0.1 $μ$s$\cdot$cm. This value is 3 orders of magnitude less than those observed by other groups for noble gases based mixtures. No second streamers were observed with pure isobutane for similar tracks.

description: The Herschel ATLAS is the largest open-time key project that will be carried out on the Herschel Space Observatory. It will survey 510 square degrees of the extragalactic sky, four times larger than all the other Herschel surveys combined, in five far-infrared and submillimetre bands. We describe the survey, the complementary multi-wavelength datasets that will be combined with the Herschel data, and the six major science programmes we are undertaking. Using new models based on a previous submillimetre survey of galaxies, we present predictions of the properties of the ATLAS sources in other wavebands.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Assembly contiguity and size of 38 re-assembled genomes. For n = 38 NCBI genomes we were able to find Illumina short-read sequencing data to reassemble these strains. The Icarus plot (output of Quast v5.2.0 run with default parameters) shows the assembly contiguity and size for all 38 re-assemblies together with the corresponding genomes downloaded from NCBI. In addition, re-assemblies and NCBI genomes were decontaminated using CLEAN. The top eleven re-assemblies were finally selected to be integrated in our study and replaced the original NCBI genomes due to higher assembly contiguity and better N50 values. All contigs are sorted by length, starting with the longest contigs on the left and decreasing in length to the right. Thus, it is possible to mark the contigs where 50% (90%) of all the nucleotides in an assembly are covered by this contig and all longer contigs as a measure of assembly contiguity and quality. The purple bars mark contigs where a certain Nx (N50 or N90) is reached in an assembly.

The Influence of Far-Ultraviolet Radiation on the Properties of Molecular Clouds in the 30 Dor Region of the Large Magellanic Cloud

description: We present a complete 12CO J = 1-0 map of the prominent molecular ridge in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained with the 22-m ATNF Mopra Telescope. The region stretches southward by ~2 degrees, (or 1.7kpc) from 30 Doradus, the most vigorous star-forming region in the Local Group. The location of this molecular ridge is unique insofar as it allows us to study the properties of molecular gas as a function of the ambient radiation field in a low-metallicity environment. We find that the physical properties of CO-emitting clumps within the molecular ridge do not vary with the strength of the far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation field. Since the peak CO brightness of the clumps shows no correlation with the radiation field strength, the observed constant value for CO-to-H_2 conversion factor along the ridge seems to require an increase in the kinetic temperature of the molecular gas that is offset by a decrease in the angular filling factor of the CO emission. We find that the difference between the CO-to-H_2 conversion factor in the molecular ridge and the outer Milky Way is smaller than has been reported by previous studies of the CO emission: applying the same cloud identification and analysis methods to our CO observations of the LMC molecular ridge and CO data from the outer Galaxy survey by Dame et al. (2001), we find that the average CO-to-H_2 conversion factor in the molecular ridge is X_CO = (3.9+/-2.5)10^20 cm^-2 (K km s^-1)^-1, approximately twice the value that we determine for the outer Galaxy clouds. The mass spectrum and the scaling relations between the properties of the CO clumps in the molecular ridge are similar, but not identical, to those that have been established for Galactic molecular clouds.

Deriving Weak Deflection Angle by Black Holes or Wormholes using Gauss-Bonnet Theorem

description: In this review, various researches on finding the bending angle of light deflected by a massive gravitating object which regard the Gauss-Bonnet theorem as the premise have been revised. Primarily, the Gibbons and Werner method is studied apropos of the gravitational lensing phenomenon in the weak field limits. Some exclusive instances are deliberated while calculating the deflection angle, beginning with the finite-distance corrections on non-asymptotically flat spacetimes. Effects of plasma medium is then inspected to observe its contribution to the deflection angle. Finally, the Jacobi metric is explored as an alternative method, only to arrive at similar results. All of the cases are probed in three constructs, one as a generic statement of explanation, one for black holes, and one for wormholes, so as to gain a perspective on every kind of influence.

Formation of sharp edges and planar areas of asteroids by polyhedral abrasion

description: While the number of asteroids with known shapes has drastically increased over the past few years, little is known on the the time-evolution of shapes and the underlying physical processes. Here we propose an averaged abrasion model based on micro-collisons, accounting for asteroids not necessarily evolving toward regular spheroids, rather (depending on the fall-back rate of ejecta) following an alternative path, thus confirming photometry-derived features, e.g. existence of large, relatively flat areas separated by edges. We show that our model is realistic, since the bulk of the collisions falls into this category.
