Elvetismi e Ticinesismi Dizionario. Parole e modi di dire dell’italiano svizzero Racconti visivi. Storie e memorie della lingua parlata dalle persone
Creators: name: Somaini, Agnese

description: La lingua italiana, sia parlata che scritta, nella Svizzera italiana è il risultato di una fusione di culture e di tradizioni autoctone. Questa combinazione contribuisce a creare una “sfumatura” di italiano peculiare e identitario, che caratterizza il Canton Ticino e il Grigioni italiano. Mi interessava lavorare a una idea di dizionario non tradizionale, ma a una estensione visiva fatta di storie per immagini. Il progetto si pone l’obiettivo di esplorare “l’Elvetismo” attraverso un artefatto editoriale composto da due sezioni. Il primo un dizionario che tratta le parole non solo attraverso un’analisi sociolinguistica e tecnica, il secondo un libro di racconti che apre a storie, ricordi e immagini di persone che usano quotidianamente gli Elvetismi. L’unione delle due sezioni, in unico artefatto, guida il lettore all’interno del tema e lo avvicina sia alla conoscenza delle parole che ai racconti delle persone del territorio. Affrontare la sfida di comunicare attraverso due livelli di linguaggio, sia verbale che visivo, è stato un punto principale del progetto, con l’obiettivo di creare una comunicazione grafica che permette di apprendere e di sperimentare il significato delle parole all’interno della vita delle persone. Il progetto è rivolto ad un vasto e diversificato pubblico, composto da persone interessate ad esplorare la questione linguistica legata agli “Elvetismi – Ticinesismi”. Il progetto non si limita a questo, sarà anche un’opportunità per coloro che vogliono approfondire e scoprire curiosità e informazioni relative ai termini e all’ambiente ad essi associato.

description: The well-known TE/TM decomposition of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields in uniaxial anisotropic media is generalized in terms of four-dimensional differential-form formalism by requiring that the field two-form satisfies an orthogonality condition with respect to two given bivectors. Conditions for the electromagnetic medium in which such a decomposition is possible are derived and found to define three subclasses of media. It is shown that the previously known classes of generalized Q-media and generalized P-media are particular cases of the proposed decomposable media (DCM) associated to a quadratic equation for the medium dyadic. As a novel solution, another class of special decomposable media (SDCM) is defined by a linear dyadic equation. The paper further discusses the properties of medium dyadics and plane-wave propagation in all the identified cases of DCM and SDCM.

Searches for new high-mass resonances in top-antitop and di-electron final states using the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: Khoda, Elham E
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: The standard model of particle physics (SM) describes all the fundamental particles and their interactions. It is a very successful theory; however, many experimental observations - such as the origin of neutrino mass, particle origin of dark matter, e.t.c. - are either not consistent or not explained by the SM. So, it is inevitable that there has to be a (physics) model beyond the SM which will consistently explain all these observations, not covered by the SM. Several of such extensions predict new heavy particles that can interact with SM particles. This dissertation presents searches for the resonant production of such high-mass particles in dielectron and top-antitop final states. These searches use proton-proton collision data at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) between 2015 and 2018. Electrons are stable and easy to reconstruct, but top-quarks decay instantaneously. Two dominant top-decay final states, all-hadronic and semi-leptonic, are studied in this dissertation. The combined mass distributions of all the final-state particles are used to perform model-dependent and model-independent statistical searches. No evidence for the existence of new particles is found in any of the explored final states. Hence, upper limits on production cross-section times branching ratio and lower limits on the mass of heavy Z' particles, predicted by the BSM models, are placed at a 95% confidence level. The dilepton resonance search excludes Z' boson below 3.6 TeV. The resonance search in the boosted all-hadronic top-antitop final state excludes Z' bosons with a mass lower than 4.1 TeV. Whereas in the semi-leptonic search, the same signal is expected to be excluded up to 3.6 TeV. The dissertation also presents a new algorithm for splitting the merged charge clusters in the ATLAS pixel detector, based on a Mixture Density Network (MDN). The performance of this new algorithm is found to be better than the existing algorithm. As a result, the MDN-based algorithm is expected to be used as a default algorithm in ATLAS during the next data collection period, which will start in 2022.

description: We present VLA observations of the neutral hydrogen and radio continuum of NGC 34 (= NGC 17 = Mrk 938). This object is an ideal candidate to study the fate of gas in mergers, since, as shown by an optical study done by Schweizer & Seitzer (2007), it is a gas-rich ("wet") merger remnant of two disk galaxies of unequal mass hosting a strong central starburst and a weak AGN. We detect HI emission from both tidal tails and from nearby galaxies, suggesting that NGC 34 is actually part of a gas-rich group and might have recently interacted with one of its companions. The kinematics of the gas suggests this remnant is forming an outer disk of neutral hydrogen from the gas of the northern tail. We also detect broad HI absorption (514 +/- 21 km/s wide) at both negative and positive velocities with respect to the systemic velocity. This absorption could be explained by the motions of the tidal tails or by the presence of a circumnuclear disk. In addition, we present radio-continuum images that show both nuclear (62.4 +/- 0.3 mJy) and extra-nuclear emission (26.5 +/- 3.0 mJy). The extra-nuclear component is very diffuse and in the shape of two radio lobes, spanning 390 kpc overall. This emission could be a signature of an AGN that has turned off, or it could originate from a starburst-driven superwind. We discuss the possible scenarios that explain our observations, and what they tell us about the location of the gas and the future evolution of NGC 34.

description: We demonstrate how the inverse scattering problem of a quantum star graph can be solved by means of diagonalization of Hermitian unitary matrix when the vertex coupling is of the scale invariant (or Fülőp-Tsutsui) form. This enables the construction of quantum graphs with desired properties in a tailor-made fashion. The procedure is illustrated on the example of quantum vertices with equal transmission probabilities.

Linking plant diversity–productivity relationships to plant functional traits of dominant species and changes in soil properties in 15-year-old experimental grasslands

description: Positive plant diversity–productivity relationships are known to be driven by complementary resource use via differences in plant functional traits. Moreover, soil properties related to nutrient availability were shown to change with plant diversity over time; however, it is not well-understood whether and how such plant diversity-dependent soil changes and associated changes in functional traits contribute to positive diversity–productivity relationships in the long run. To test this, we investigated plant communities of different species richness (1, 2, 6, and 9 species) in a 15-year-old grassland biodiversity experiment. We determined community biomass production and biodiversity effects (net biodiversity [NEs], complementarity [CEs], and selection effects [SEs]), as well as community means of plant functional traits and soil properties. First, we tested how these variables changed along the plant diversity gradient and were related to each other. Then, we tested for direct and indirect effects of plant and soil variables influencing community biomass production and biodiversity effects. Community biomass production, NEs, CEs, SEs, plant height, root length density (RLD), and all soil property variables changed with plant diversity and the presence of the dominant grass species Arrhenatherum elatius (increase except for soil pH, which decreased). Plant height and RLD for plant functional traits, and soil pH and organic carbon concentration for soil properties, were the variables with the strongest influence on biomass production and biodiversity effects. Our results suggest that plant species richness and the presence of the dominant species, A. elatius, cause soil organic carbon to increase and soil pH to decrease over time, which increases nutrient availability favoring species with tall growth and dense root systems, resulting in higher biomass production in species-rich communities. Here, we present an additional process that contributes to the strengthening positive diversity–productivity relationship, which may play a role alongside the widespread plant functional trait-based explanation.

description: Introduction: Kindergarten teachers are exposed to numerous kinds of strains, such as noise, which can negatively affect their voices. This cross-sectional study investigates whether and to what extent the profession-specific high vocal demand is associated with the educators’ mental health. Methods: One hundred and ninety-two kindergarten teachers from Magdeburg, Germany and its surrounding areas aged 43.4 ± 12.8 years, voluntarily participated in a survey. Vocal demand and vocal demand response, general strain factors, and mental health were assessed by using questionnaires (self-check on voice demands, Rudow checklist, General Health Questionnaire, and Maslach Burnout Inventory). The statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS. Results: The interviewed educators felt stressed by the excessive number of work tasks and children in each class, noisy work environment, and loud conversations. In addition, educators complained of headaches and neck pain (66%), while 28% of them experienced hoarseness and a burning throat. The mental health of 39 of the educators was impaired, and nine were at an increased risk of burnout. Self-reported voice effort correlated low with mental health (r = 0.287; p < 0.001) and burnout risk (r = 0.306; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The vocal demands on educators in day care settings are very high, which is a major associated factor for the development of burnout syndrome and is also associated with headaches and neck pain. Measures for the prevention of occupational voice disorders and voice training should be a mandatory part of the educators’ training and must be offered as in-service training.

description: Purpose: Pazopanib has promising antiangiogenetic activity in solid cancers. The investigator-initiated phase I/II trial evaluated the combination of Topotecan with Pazopanib in platinum-resistant or intermediate-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). Methods: Patients (≥ 18 years) with first or second recurrence were enrolled in this multicentre open-label trial. Phase I analysed Topotecan 4 mg/m2 (day 1, 8, 15, ever 28 days) for six cycles to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Pazopanib added in a dose-escalating scheme with 400 mg starting dose. The phase II analysed safety and efficacy aspects. For all patients with clinical remission a maintenance with Pazopanib until progression was allowed. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT 01600573. Results: Between June 2012 and February 2017, 11 patients were enrolled in the phase I, and 50 patients in the phase II study. The MTD of Pazopanib was determined by 400 mg/daily. Haematological and liver toxicities determined the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and the most common grade 3–4 adverse events: leucopenia (25%), neutropenia (22%), thrombocytopenia (19%), accumulation of cholestatic (20%) and hepatocellular damage (15%), which often caused dose modifications, but no new life-threatening events. Overall response was 16% and clinical benefit rate 68%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.5 months (95% CI 2.0—5.0). Due to early progression only 20% of the patients were able to start with maintenance treatment. Conclusion: The combination of pazopanib and weekly topotecan is feasible, resulting in a manageable haematological and liver toxicity, but despite its encouraging response rate, was not associated with a significant survival benefit.

description: In one of the very few exact quantum mechanical calculations of fugacity coefficients, Dodd and Gibbs (\textit{J. Math.Phys}.,\textbf{15}, 41 (1974)) obtained $b_{2}$ and $b_{3}$ for a one dimensional Bose gas, subject to repulsive delta-function interactions, by direct integration of the wave functions. For $b_{2}$, we have shown (\textit{Mol. Phys}.,\textbf{103}, 1301 (2005)) that Dodd and Gibbs' result can be obtained from a phase shift formalism, if one also includes the contribution of oscillating terms, usually contributing only in 1 dimension. Now, we develop an exact expression for $b_{3}-b_{3}^{0}$ (where $b_{3}^{0}$ is the free particle fugacity coefficient) in terms of sums and differences of 3-body eigenphase shifts. Further, we show that if we obtain these eigenphase shifts in a distorted-Born approximation, then, to first order, we reproduce the leading low temperature behaviour, obtained from an expansion of the two-fold integral of Dodd and Gibbs. The contributions of the oscillating terms cancel. The formalism that we propose is not limited to one dimension, but seeks to provide a general method to obtain virial coefficients, fugacity coefficients, in terms of asymptotic quantities. The exact one dimensional results allow us to confirm the validity of our approach in this domain.

description: Nel presente lavoro di diploma mi sono preoccupato di indagare le mie possibilità, come docente di italiano attivo nell’insegnamento alla scuola media, di insegnare la grammatica in modo efficace e consono al mio stile. È impossibile approcciare questo tema senza tenere conto della dicotomia esistente tra la grammatica secondo un approccio classico e la grammatica valenziale; per questo motivo, ho ideato di un percorso didattico che mi ha permesso di sperimentare con i miei allievi la diversità dei temi affrontati da ciascuno dei due approcci alla riflessione sulla lingua. Gli scopi a lungo termine di quest’operazione sono l’autoanalisi volta al miglioramento delle capacità lavorative e la ricerca di una capacità di adattamento professionale derivata dall’agilità nel muoversi da un campo all’altro, sapendo privilegiare in ciascun caso specifico la terminologia di riferimento che risulti più chiara possibile agli studenti. Dai dati ricavati dalle valutazioni espresse dagli studenti, dai formatori e da me stesso risulta una buona efficacia nel metodo di insegnamento grammaticale, sebbene gli studenti che hanno lavorato sulla grammatica valenziale abbiano ricavato mediamente maggior profitto. Permangono inoltre alcuni punti di miglioramento importanti, come la chiarezza della consegna. In generale, ritengo il percorso didattico da me intrapreso in sede di lavoro di diploma una solida base di partenza, che mi ha fornito indicazioni e spunti nell’ottica del mio futuro professionale come docente.

description: Proteins and peptides exhibit an immense variety of structures, which are generally classified according to simple structural motifs (mainly α helices and β sheets). Considerable efforts have been invested in understanding the relationship between chemical structure (primary structure) of peptides and their spatial motifs (secondary structure). However, little is known about the possibility to interfere intentionally in these structural driving forces, for example, by inserting (short) artificial polymer chains in the peptide backbone. Structure formation on such hybrid synthetic/biochemical polymers is still an emerging field of research. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are used to illustrate the influence of inserted polyethylene segments on the secondary structure of several peptide homopolymers. A loss of structure of ≈50% when the peptide chain length drops to ten amino acids and a practically complete absence for even shorter peptide segments.

description: We study a distinct supersymmetric signal of multi-photons in association with jets and missing transverse energy. At least one of these photons has the origin in displaced vertex, thus delayed and non-pointing. We consider a supersymmetric scenario in which the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) (with a mass $\sim 1~{keV}$) and the lightest neutralino is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP). The NLSP decays dominantly into a photon and a gravitino within the detector with a decay length ranging from $cτ_{\tildeχ}\sim$ 50-100 cm. In addition, we assume that the second lightest neutralino and the lightest neutralino are nearly degenerate and this leads to a prompt radiative decay of the next-to-lightest neutralino into a photon and a lightest neutralino with a large branching ratio. Such degenerate neutralinos can be realised in various representations of the $SU(5)$, $SO(10)$, and $E(6)$ Grand Unified Theories (GUTs). The non-pointing photons can be reconstructed at the electromagnetic calorimeter of the ATLAS inner-detector, which have been designed with good timing and directional resolution. We find that with a centre-of-mass energy $E_{cm}=14 ~{TeV}$ at an integrated luminosity of 100 $fb^{-1}$ one may see evidence of hundreds of tri-photon events and a few four-photons events at the LHC, in addition to several thousands di-photon events. We also predict the event rates even at the early phase of LHC run.

L’influenza delle opere d’arte nella produzione grafica dei bambini. Käthe Kollwitz: l’originale e la copia

description: La ricerca analizza l’influenza esercitata dalle opere (originali in galleria e riproduzioni in aula) del ciclo Guerra dell’artista Käthe Kollwitz sulle produzioni grafiche di bambini di prima (6-7 anni) e di quinta elementare (10-11 anni). La ricerca si è svolta in tre momenti principali: una raccolta di rappresentazioni spontanee sul tema della guerra, la presentazione di dieci xilografie dell’artista tedesca, ad un gruppo di bambini gli originali in galleria e a un altro gruppo delle copie in aula, e infine una seconda raccolta di disegni. Dalla ricerca emerge che i bambini non distinguono le opere originali dalle riproduzioni, così come il luogo in cui le opere sono presentate non ha un’influenza sulle loro produzioni grafiche. Inoltre risulta che i bambini di prima elementare non sentono il bisogno di appropriarsi di soluzioni di resa del tema poiché già forniti di un bagaglio rappresentativo soddisfacente per la suddetta rappresentazione più a valenza fantastica; i bambini di quinta elementare invece manifestano interesse nell’imitare i simboli e i soggetti proposti dall’artista. Il docente deve favorire nei bambini l’attenzione nei confronti dell’arte, aiutarli a sviluppare gli strumenti adeguati al fine di poter ampliare la propria conoscenza del mondo.

description: The final qualification work deals with obsolete words and archaisms in the aspect of translation. The concepts of âobsolete wordâ, âarchaismâ are considered. The study aimsÂ  identify ways of translating obsolete words and archaisms in William Shakespeare's sonnets presented in the translations by N. Gerbel, M. Tchaikovsky and S. Marshak. It is revealed that translators commonly use such techniques as literal translation, substitution and implication to translate obsolete words and archaisms.
Genome-wide analysis to investigate patterns of ecotype divergence, population structure and life history changes in deep-spawning sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka
Creators: name: Samad-Zada, Farida
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) have been a classic study system for investigating ecotype divergence due to their tremendous life history variation. Multiple independent lineages of freshwater O. nerka (kokanee) have evolved from anadromous sockeye, and these migratory forms are further divided into reproductive ecotypes, depending on spawning location (shore-, stream- and deep-spawners). Deep-spawning O. nerka in Canada and Japan share unique phenotypic traits, but little is known about the origin and genomic basis of this ecotype. Here, we conducted genome-wide analyses of deep-spawning O. nerka on multiple scales, from regional populations in British Columbia, Canada, to those that span the pan Pacific distribution. First, we analyzed the Alouette Lake (British Columbia) O. nerka population, which (a) consists of both migrant and resident individuals, and (b) is the only known O. nerka population where migrants exhibit deep-spawning behaviour, leading to questions regarding the true ecotype of this population. To investigate the genomic basis of life history variation in this system, we collected SNP data (n = 7,709) for migrant and resident Alouette O. nerka (n = 163) and analyzed these samples relative to each other and O. nerka (n = 149) from known anadromous sockeye salmon and kokanee populations across the Fraser River drainage. Population structure analyses revealed five distinct clusters, primarily associated with geography, and no evidence for differentiation between resident and migrant Alouette O. nerka at the neutral loci. However, we identified eight high-confidence outlier loci divergent between migrant and resident Alouette O. nerka that were located on sex chromosomes, suggesting an association between migratory behaviour and sex in this system. We conclude that Alouette O. nerka likely represents a single stock best characterized as land-locked sockeye salmon, with individuals that retain the ability to migrate. Second, we genotyped deep- and stream-spawning kokanee (n = 167) from Canada and Japan at 9,721 SNPs, revealing a low number of shared ecotype-associated outliers between the two regions. Unlike in British Columbia, population clustering within Japan was best explained by translocation history. Taken together, these data suggest that evolution of the deep-spawning ecotype on two continents likely proceeded through different genetic pathways.
The targum (1886:Oct.15)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1886

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
A Keck LGS AO Search for Brown Dwarf and Planetary Mass Companions to Upper Scorpius Brown Dwarfs

description: We searched for binary companions to 20 young brown dwarfs in the Upper Scorpius association (145 pc, 5 Myr, nearest OB association) with the the Laser Guide Star adaptive optics system and the facility infrared camera NIRC2 on the 10 m Keck II telescope. We discovered a 0.14" companion (20.9+-0.4 AU) to the <0.1 MSun object SCH J16091837-20073523. From spectral deconvolution of integrated-light near-IR spectroscopy of SCH1609 using the SpeX spectrograph (Rayner et al. 2003), we estimate primary and secondary spectral types of M6+-0.5 and M7+-1.0, corresponding to masses of 79+-17 MJup and 55+-25 MJup at an age of 5 Myr and masses of 84+-15 MJup and 60+-25 MJup at an age of 10 Myr. For our survey objects with spectral types later than M8, we find an upper limit on the binary fraction of <9% (1-sigma) at separations of 10 -- 500 AU. We combine the results of our survey with previous surveys of Upper Sco and similar young regions to set the strongest constraints to date on binary fraction for young substellar objects and very low mass stars. The binary fraction for low mass (<40 MJup) brown dwarfs in Upper Sco is similar to that for T dwarfs in the field; for higher mass brown dwarfs and very low mass stars, there is an excess of medium-separation (10-50 AU projected separation) young binaries with respect to the field. These medium separation binaries will likely survive to late ages.

description: We consider the billiard map inside a polyhedron. We give a condition for the stability of the periodic trajectories. We apply this result to the case of the tetrahedron. We deduce the existence of an open set of tetrahedra which have a periodic orbit of length four (generalization of Fagnano's orbit for triangles), moreover we can study completly the orbit of points along this coding.

High-Carbonate, Low-Silica, High-Calcium Stone in the High Bridge Group (Upper Ordovician), Mason County, North-Central Kentucky
Creators: name: Anderson, Warren H.
name: Barron, Lance S.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky

description: Abstract:
The High Bridge Group (Middle Ordovician) of northeastern Kentucky is a major source of limestone and dolomite for construction, agricultural, and industrial stone. These industries require carbonate rocks of high chemical purity. Chemical analyses of foot-by-foot samples from a Mason County core show that three zones of high-calcium and several thick zones of high-carbonate and low-silica stone are present in the High Bridge at a mineable depth. Mason County is located in northeastern Kentucky, on the Ohio River, and offers river access to transportation to the metropolitan Covington-Cincinnati market and the northern portion of the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field for mine-related markets.
Andreev-Lifshitz Hydrodynamics Applied to an Ordinary Solid under Pressure

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)

description: We have applied the Andreev-Lifshitz hydrodynamic theory of supersolids to an ordinary solid. This theory includes an internal pressure $P$, distinct from the applied pressure $P_a$ and the stress tensor $λ_{ik}$. Under uniform static $P_{a}$, we have $λ_{ik} = (P-P_{a})δ_{ik}$. For $P_{a} \ne 0$, Maxwell relations imply that $P \sim P_{a}^{2}$. The theory also permits vacancy diffusion but treats vacancies as conserved. It gives three sets of propagating elastic modes; it also gives two diffusive modes, one largely of entropy density and one largely of vacancy density (or, more generally, defect density). For the vacancy diffusion mode (or, equivalently, the lattice diffusion mode) the vacancies behave like a fluid within the solid, with the deviations of internal pressure associated with density changes nearly canceling the deviations of stress associated with strain. We briefly consider pressurization experiments in solid $^4$He at low temperatures in light of this lattice diffusion mode, which for small $P_{a}$ has diffusion constant $D_{L} \sim P_{a}^{2}$. The general principles of the theory -- that both volume and strain should be included as thermodynamic variables, with the result that both $P$ and $λ_{ik}$ appear -- should apply to all solids under pressure, especially near the solid-liquid transition. The lattice diffusion mode provides an additional degree of freedom that may permit surfaces with different surface treatments to generate different responses in the bulk.

description: We have studied the c-axis interlayer magnetoresistance (ILMR), R_c(B) in graphite. The measurements have been performed on strongly anisotropic highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples in magnetic field up to B = 9 T applied both parallel and perpendicular to the sample c-axis in the temperature interval 2 K < T < 300 K. We have observed negative magnetoresistance, dR_c/dB < 0, for B || c-axis above a certain field B_m(T) that reaches its minimum value B_m = 5.4 T at T = 150 K. The results can be consistently understood assuming that ILMR is related to a tunneling between zero-energy Landau levels of quasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions, in a close analogy with the behavior reported for alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 [N. Tajima et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 176403 (2009)], another multilayer Dirac electron system.

description: This article reports a measurement of the low-energy excitation spectrum along the critical line for a quantum spin chain having a local interaction between three Ising spins and longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields. The measured excitation spectrum agrees with that predicted by the (D$_4$, A$_4$) conformal minimal model under a nontrivial correspondence between translations at the critical line and discrete lattice translations. Under this correspondence, the measurements confirm a prediction that the critical line of this quantum spin chain and the critical point of the 2D 3-state Potts model are in the same universality class.

L’uso di fonti letterarie nella didattica della storia
Creators: name: Verzaroli, Giulia
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2013

description: Il presente lavoro di diploma sperimenta l’uso di un particolare tipo di fonte nella didattica della storia: il testo letterario. La ricerca è stata svolta in una classe di terza media attraverso l’analisi di brevi estratti da opere della letteratura, in un percorso che si stendeva sull’arco di otto itinerari didattici. L’obiettivo era di capire in modo fosse possibile sfruttare, nelle lezioni di storia, la fonte letteraria e se questa potesse influire sulla motivazione degli allievi allo studio della materia e sulle loro conoscenze della metodologia storica. I risultati scaturiti dalla ricerca, benché effettuata su un campione ristretto, mostrano che i testi letterari possono essere impiegati nella didattica della storia quale strumento aggiuntivo. La maggior parte degli allievi ha acquisito una conoscenza più ampia sul lavoro dello storico e sulle peculiarità della fonte letteraria. Inoltre, l’approccio didattico ha influito sulla motivazione degli allievi che hanno dato un giudizio positivo sul percorso, ritenendolo un modo originale per affrontare i temi storici trattati in classe.

Dispersive readout scheme for a Josephson phase qubit

description: We present experimental results on a dispersive scheme for reading out a Josephson phase qubit. A capacitively shunted dc-SQUID is used as a nonlinear resonator which is inductively coupled to the qubit. We detect the flux state of the qubit by measuring the amplitude and phase of a microwave pulse reflected from the SQUID resonator. By this low-dissipative method, we reduce the qubit state measurement time down to 25 microseconds, which is much faster than using the conventional readout performed by switching the SQUID to its non-zero dc voltage state. The demonstrated readout scheme allows for reading out multiple qubits using a single microwave line by employing frequency-division multiplexing.

Reductions in finite-dimensional quantum mechanics : from symmetries to operator algebras and beyond
Creators: name: Kabernik, Oleg
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: The idea that symmetries simplify or reduce the complexity of a system has been remarkably fruitful in physics, and especially in quantum mechanics. On a mathematical level, symmetry groups single out a certain structure in the Hilbert space that leads to a reduction. This structure is given by the irreducible representations of the group, and in general it can be identified with an operator algebra (a.k.a. C*-algebra or von Neumann algebra). The primary focus of this thesis is the extension of the framework of reductions from symmetries to operator algebras, and its applications in finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. Finding the irreducible representations structure is the principal problem when working with operator algebras. We will therefore review the representation theory of finite-dimensional operator algebras and elucidate this problem with the help of two novel concepts: minimal isometries and bipartition tables. One of the main technical results that we present is the Scattering Algorithm for analytical derivations of the irreducible representations structure of operator algebras. For applications, we will introduce a symmetry-agnostic approach to the reduction of dynamics where we circumvent the non-trivial task of identifying symmetries, and directly reduce the dynamics generated by a Hamiltonian. We will also consider quantum state reductions that arise from operational constraints, such as the partial trace or the twirl map, and study how operational constraints lead to decoherence. Apart from our primary focus we will extend the idea of reduction beyond operator algebras to operator systems, and formulate a quantum notion of coarse-graining that so far only existed in classical probability theory. In addition, we will characterize how the uncertainty principle transitions to the classical regime under coarse-grained measurements and discuss the implications in a finite-dimensional setting.

description: In this work, we find exact gravastar solutions in the context of noncommutative geometry, and explore their physical properties and characteristics. The energy density of these geometries is a smeared and particle-like gravitational source, where the mass is diffused throughout a region of linear dimension $\sqrt{(α)}$ due to the intrinsic uncertainty encoded in the coordinate commutator. These solutions are then matched to an exterior Schwarzschild spacetime. We further explore the dynamical stability of the transition layer of these gravastars, for the specific case of $β=M^2/α<1.9$, where M is the black hole mass, to linearized spherically symmetric radial perturbations about static equilibrium solutions. It is found that large stability regions exist and, in particular, located sufficiently close to where the event horizon is expected to form.
