description: The predictability of eight southern European tropical-like cyclones, seven of which Medicanes, is studied evaluating ECMWF operational ensemble forecasts against operational analysis data. Forecast cyclone trajectories are compared to the cyclone trajectory in the analysis by means of a dynamic time warping technique, which allows to find a match in terms of their overall spatio-temporal similarity. Each storm is treated as an object and its forecasts are analysed using metrics that describe intensity, symmetry, compactness, and upper-level thermal structure. This object-based approach allows to focus on specific storm features, while tolerating their shifts in time and space to some extent. The compactness and symmetry of the storms are generally underpredicted, especially at long lead times. However, forecast accuracy tends to strongly improve at short lead times, indicating that the ECMWF ensemble forecast model can adequately reproduce Medicanes, albeit only few days in advance. In particular, late forecasts which have been initialised when the cyclone has already developed are distinctly more accurate than earlier forecasts in predicting its kinematic and thermal structure, confirming previous findings of high sensitivity of Medicane simulations to initial conditions. Findings reveal a markedly non-gradual evolution of ensemble forecasts with lead time. Specifically, a rapid increase in the probability of cyclone occurrence ("forecast jump") is seen in most cases, generally between 5 and 7 days lead time. Jumps are also found for ensemble median and/or spread for storm thermal structure forecasts. This behaviour is compatible with the existence of predictability barriers. On the other hand, storm position forecasts often exhibit a consistent spatial distribution of storm position uncertainty and bias between consecutive forecasts.
Composite Grand Unified Theory
Creators: name: Tai, Joseph
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This work presents a comprehensive Composite Grand Unified Theory (CGUT) that aims to unify several advanced concepts in modern physics into a single coherent framework. At high energies, our theory posits that spacetime is best described by a noncommutative (or discrete) geometry, formulated via the spectral action principle, which naturally transitions to classical General Relativity at low energies.

Key innovations of the theory include:

Noncommutative Geometry and Gravity: A rigorous mathematical framework based on spectral triples and the spectral action, which recovers the Einstein–Hilbert action in the continuum limit, providing a high-energy description of spacetime.

Novel Dynamical Fields (TAI and BFU): The introduction of the Theory of Absolute Inclusion (TAI) field, which ensures a non-zero vacuum energy and may contribute to dark energy, and the Bubbling Foam Universe (BFU) field, which drives bubble-like cosmic dynamics and may explain large-scale structure.

Quantum Noise-Enhanced Entanglement: An exploration of how quantum noise, rather than solely causing decoherence, can enhance entanglement among fields, modifying the primordial density fluctuations and potentially leaving unique signatures in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large-scale structure (LSS).

Hidden-Sector SUSY Breaking: A mechanism whereby supersymmetry is dynamically broken in a hidden sector and its effects are communicated via gravitational mediation. This, in combination with asymptotic safety and nonlocal regulators from noncommutative geometry, protects the Higgs mass despite a high SUSY-breaking scale.

Quantum-Temporal Processing Hypothesis: A novel proposal that time is not a continuous flow but is processed in discrete, computational-like clusters. This perspective provides new insights into wavefunction collapse, quantum entanglement, and time dilation, potentially bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and relativity.

The manuscript includes detailed mathematical derivations, parameter-space analyses, and numerical simulation strategies. It also offers explicit observational predictions for gravitational wave signals, CMB anisotropies, and precision collider experiments, along with proposed strategies for interdisciplinary experimental collaboration.

This submission is intended as a peer-reviewed paper that not only provides a rigorous theoretical foundation but also opens up new avenues for experimental validation and further exploration in fundamental physics.

Knowledge of the saddle points allows us to find many thousand adjacent minima of clusters containing up to 80 argon atoms and to locate many pairs of minima with the right characteristics to form two-level systems (TLS). The true TLS are singled out by calculating the ground-state tunneling splitting. The entropic contribution to all barriers is evaluated and discussed.

description: Many cellular responses to surrounding cues require temporally concerted transcriptional regulation of multiple genes. In prokaryotic cells, a single-input-module motif with one transcription factor regulating multiple target genes can generate coordinated gene expression. In eukaryotic cells, transcriptional activity of a gene is affected by not only transcription factors but also the epigenetic modifications and three-dimensional chromosome structure of the gene. To examine how local gene environment and transcription factor regulation are coupled, we performed a combined analysis of time-course RNA-seq data of TGF-\b{eta} treated MCF10A cells and related epigenomic and Hi-C data. Using Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM), we clustered differentially expressed genes based on gene expression profiles and associated transcription factors. Genes in each class have similar temporal gene expression patterns and share common transcription factors. Next, we defined a set of linear and radial distribution functions, as used in statistical physics, to measure the distributions of genes within a class both spatially and linearly along the genomic sequence. Remarkably, genes within the same class despite sometimes being separated by tens of million bases (Mb) along genomic sequence show a significantly higher tendency to be spatially close despite sometimes being separated by tens of Mb along the genomic sequence than those belonging to different classes do. Analyses extended to the process of mouse nervous system development arrived at similar conclusions. Future studies will be able to test whether this spatial organization of chromosomes contributes to concerted gene expression.

description: It is shown that the low-energy spectrum of a ferromagnetic quantum Hall effect liquid in a system with a multi-domain structure generated by an inhomogeneous bare Zeeman splitting $ε_{Z}$ is formed by excitations localized at the walls between domains. For a step-like $ε_Z(r)$, the domain wall spectrum includes a spin-wave with a linear dispersion and a small gap due to spin-orbit coupling, and a low-energy topological defects. The latter are charged and may dominate in the transport under conditions that the percolation through the network of domain walls is provided.

description: From December 2019, an outbreak of unusual pneumonia was reported in Wuhan with many cases linked to Huanan Seafood Market that sells seafood as well as live exotic animals. We investigated two patients who developed acute respiratory syndromes after independent contact history with this market. The two patients shared common clinical features including fever, cough, and multiple ground-glass opacities in the bilateral lung field with patchy infiltration. Here, we highlight the use of a low-input metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) approach on RNA extracted from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). It rapidly identified a novel coronavirus (named 2019-nCoV according to World Health Organization announcement) which was the sole pathogens in the sample with very high abundance level (1.5% and 0.62% of total RNA sequenced). The entire viral genome is 29,881 nt in length (GenBank MN988668 and MN988669, Sequence Read Archive database Bioproject accession PRJNA601736) and is classified into β-coronavirus genus. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that 2019-nCoV is close to coronaviruses (CoVs) circulating in Rhinolophus (Horseshoe bats), such as 98.7% nucleotide identity to partial RdRp gene of bat coronavirus strain BtCoV/4991 (GenBank KP876546, 370 nt sequence of RdRp and lack of other genome sequence) and 87.9% nucleotide identity to bat coronavirus strain bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21. Evolutionary analysis based on ORF1a/1b, S, and N genes also suggests 2019-nCoV is more likely a novel CoV independently introduced from animals to humans.

description: The study of massive stars in different metallicity environments is a central topic of current stellar research. The spectral analysis of massive stars requires adequate model atmospheres. The computation of such models is difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, spectral analyses are greatly facilitated if they can refer to existing grids of models. Here we provide grids of model atmospheres for OB-type stars at metallicities corresponding to the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, as well as to solar metallicity. In total, the grids comprise 785 individual models. The models were calculated using the state-of-the-art Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) model atmosphere code. The parameter domain of the grids was set up using stellar evolution tracks. For all these models, we provide normalized and flux-calibrated spectra, spectral energy distributions, feedback parameters such as ionizing photons, Zanstra temperatures, and photometric magnitudes. The atmospheric structures (the density and temperature stratification) are available as well. All these data are publicly accessible through the PoWR website.

description: The solutions of a renormalized BCS equation are studied in three space dimensions in $s$, $p$ and $d$ waves for finite-range separable potentials in the weak to medium coupling region. In the weak-coupling limit, the present BCS model yields a small coherence length $ξ$ and a large critical temperature, $T_c$, appropriate for some high-$T_c$ materials. The BCS gap, $T_c$, $ξ$ and specific heat $C_s(T_c)$ as a function of zero-temperature condensation energy are found to exhibit potential-independent universal scalings. The entropy, specific heat, spin susceptibility and penetration depth as a function of temperature exhibit universal scaling below $T_c$ in $p$ and $d$ waves.

Sending Signals to Space-Like Separated Regions
Creators: name: Aharonov, Y.
name: Vaidman, L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two recent works suggest a possibility of sending signals to a space-like separated region, contrary to the spirit of special relativity. In the first work [J. Grunhaus, S. Popescu, and D. Rohrlich, Phys. Rev. A 53, 3781 (1996)] it has been shown that sending signals to particular union of space-like separated region cannot cause causality paradoxes. Another work [Y. Aharonov and L. Vaidman, Phys. Rev. A 61, 052108 (2000)] showed that the relative phase of quantum superposition of a particle in two separate locations can be measured locally. Together with the possibility of changing the relative phase in a nonlocal way using potential effect we, apparently, have a method of sending signals to space-like separated regions. These arguments are critically analyzed in this paper.

RUSSIA IN THE CONTESTED NEIGHBOURHOOD: A NEOCLASSICAL REALIST APPROACH TO REGIONAL PRIMACY
Creators: name: Cuppuleri, Adriana
Publisher: name: Università degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: Under what conditions has Russia adopted assertive foreign policies towards neighbouring states in order to pursue regional primacy? Scholars usually map Russia’s foreign policy according to theoretical approaches that are generated either from the individual, the state or the structural levels of analysis. However, each of them, taken individually, cannot account for Russia’s foreign policy across space and time. This study analyses the complex interplay between causal factors by developing a neoclassical realist model of Russia’s pursue of regional primacy in the contested neighbourhood with the EU. This study employs fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) at a cross-case level and Process Tracing at within-case level. fsQCA aims to test the explanatory value of systemic conditions such as external pressure in the regional neighbourhood by other regional powers and membership of target states in a military alliance (i.e. NATO); and of domestic conditions such as Russia’s status recognition by the West, and Russia’s state capacity. This analysis is based on 27 cases of Russia’s interaction with post-Soviet states between 1992 and 2015. Process Tracing is employed as a confirmatory method for within-case analysis. The results of the study suggest that Russia was inclined to adopt assertive foreign policy instruments, particularly military intervention, if external pressure from other great powers in a neighbouring country was combined with Russia’s high state capacity to mobilise resources. Due to NATO membership by neighbouring states, Russia resorted to coercive instruments rather than to direct use of force to maintain regional primacy. Finally, from the comparative process tracing, it emerged that, besides international security concerns and domestic constraints related to Russia’s status recognition, the two violent conflicts of Nagorno-Karabakh and South Ossetia/Abkhazia in the 1990s, which were of equal threat to Russia’s regional primacy in the South Caucasus, bore a different ‘iconic significance’ to Russia.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) has deeply changed how we interact with our world. Today, smart homes, self-driving cars, connected industries, and wearables are just a few mainstream applications where IoT plays the role of enabling technology. When IoT became popular, Cloud Computing was already a mature technology able to deliver the computing resources necessary to execute heavy tasks (e.g., data analytic, storage, AI tasks, etc.) on data coming from IoT devices, thus practitioners started to design and implement their applications exploiting this approach. However, after a hype that lasted for a few years, cloud-centric approaches have started showing some of their main limitations when dealing with the connectivity of many devices with remote endpoints, like high latency, bandwidth usage, big data volumes, reliability, privacy, and so on. At the same time, a few new distributed computing paradigms emerged and gained attention. Among all, Edge Computing allows to shift the execution of applications at the edge of the network (a partition of the network physically close to data-sources) and provides improvement over the Cloud Computing paradigm. Its success has been fostered by new powerful embedded computing devices able to satisfy the everyday-increasing computing requirements of many IoT applications. Given this context, how can next-generation IoT applications take advantage of the opportunity offered by Edge Computing to shift the processing from the cloud toward the data sources and exploit everyday-more-powerful devices? This thesis provides the ingredients and the guidelines for practitioners to foster the migration from cloud-centric to novel distributed design approaches for IoT applications at the edge of the network, addressing the issues of the original approach. This requires the design of the processing pipeline of applications by considering the system requirements and constraints imposed by embedded devices. To make this process smoother, the transition is split into different steps starting with the off-loading of the processing (including the Artificial Intelligence algorithms) at the edge of the network, then the distribution of computation across multiple edge devices and even closer to data-sources based on system constraints, and, finally, the optimization of the processing pipeline and AI models to efficiently run on target IoT edge devices. Each step has been validated by delivering a real-world IoT application that fully exploits the novel approach. This paradigm shift leads the way toward the design of Edge Intelligence IoT applications that efficiently and reliably execute Artificial Intelligence models at the edge of the network.

description: We perform direct thermovoltage measurements in a single-electron transistor, using on-chip local thermometers, both in the linear and non-linear regimes. Using a model which accounts for co-tunneling, we find excellent agreement with the experimental data with no free parameters even when the temperature difference is larger than the average temperature (far-from-linear regime). This allows us to confirm the sensitivity of the thermovoltage on co-tunneling and to find that in the non-linear regime the temperature of the metallic island is a crucial parameter. Surprisingly, the metallic island tends to overheat even at zero net charge current, resulting in a reduction of the thermovoltage.

Folding, Misfolding and Therapeutics in Prion Diseases

Publisher: name: Università degli studi di Trento

description: Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative disorders affecting humans and other animals, caused by a proteinaceous infectious agent named prion. The pivotal event in these pathologies is the conversion of PrPC, a physiologically expressed protein of poorly characterized function, into a misfolded conformer, named PrPSc, which is capable of replicating its conformationally-encoded information by inducing the conversion of its physiological counterpart. The aggregates resulting from this misfolding process accumulate in the central nervous system of affected organisms leading to neuronal death. Prion diseases are always fatal and no therapy is currently available. The lack of an effective therapeutic strategy to tackle such conditions is the result of the poor available information regarding many aspects of PrPSc, such as its structure, pathogenicity, and its replication mechanism. To complicate things further, PrPSc can appear as a set of distinct conformers, named strains, characterized by the capacity to evolve through modification and selection of their conformations, promoting resistance to treatments. In this work, we focus on two main aspects of prion biology, the elucidation of prion structure and propagation, and the development of a novel pharmacological strategy to tackle prion diseases. In both projects, we exploited the potential of integrative schemes combining computational methods and experimental data. Such approaches allowed us to build a plausible atomistic model of PrPSc and to propose a propagation mechanism describing the series of events underlying prion propagation. Moreover, the application of advanced computational schemes enabled us to identify a PrP folding intermediate displaying unique druggability properties. By exploiting the structural information of this protein conformer we identified a compound capable of acting as a pharmacological degrader for PrP by interfering with its folding pathway. Overall, this work highlights how the integration of computational and experimental methods is an extremely valuable scheme to answer complex biological questions, such as unraveling the mechanisms of protein misfolding and providing the tools to design pharmacological strategies for untreatable diseases.

description: The medical community has been keen on developing disease-modifying (DM) products that can delay the underlying pathological or pathophysiological disease processes when treating chronic progressive diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. The DM effects can be established through the delayed-start design, which first randomizes patients to new treatment and control (first phase), and at some timepoint, crosses over the control to new treatment (second phase). If patients initially on control then switched to treatment fail to “catch up” (after a reasonable long time) with patients who received new treatment for the entire trial duration, a DM effect is confirmed. As the delayed-start design has a long duration and includes two phases, many patients can have the intercurrent events during the trial that result in missing observations for the first and/or second phase (e.g., missing data more than 30% of the total enrollment). Therefore, how to handle the intercurrent events becomes an important and inevitable topic when testing the DM effects in the delayed-start design. In this article, we focus on the hypothetical strategy for dealing the intercurrent events and discuss how to implement a few methods for handling missing observations when examining a key hypothesis for establishing the DM effect. Statistical properties of these methods are explored through simulations that are set up based on the real trial experience.

description: The spectral function $A({\bf q}, ω)$ of doped $t-J$ ladders is presented on clusters with up to $2 \times 20$ sites at zero temperature applying a recently developed technique that uses up to $\sim 6 \times 10^6$ rung-basis states. Similarities with photoemission results for the 2D cuprates are observed, such as the existence of a gap at $(π,0)$ near half-filling (caused by hole pair formation) and flat bands in its vicinity. These features should be observable in ARPES experiments on ladders. The main result of the paper is the nontrivial evolution of the spectral function from a narrow band at $x=0$, to a quasi-noninteracting band at $x \geq 0.5$. It was also observed that the low-energy peaks of a cluster spectra acquire finite line-widths as their energies move away from the chemical potential.

Continual Object Learning

Publisher: name: Università degli studi di Trento

description: This work focuses on building frameworks to strengthen the relation between human and machine learning. This is achieved by proposing a new category of algorithms and a new theory to formalize the perception and categorization of objects. For what concerns the algorithmic part, we developed a series of procedures to perform Interactive Continuous Open World learning from the point of view of a single user. As for humans, the input of the algorithms are continuous streams of visual information (sequences of frames), that enable the extraction of richer representations by exploiting the persistence of the same object in the input data. Our approaches are able to incrementally learn and recognize collections of objects, starting from emph{zero} knowledge, and organizing them in a hierarchy that follows the will of the user. We then present a novel Knowledge Representation theory that formalizes the property of our setting and enables the learning over it. The theory is based on the notion of separating the visual representation of objects from the semantic meaning associated with them. This distinction enables to treat both instances and classes of objects as being elements of the same kind, as well as allowing for dynamically rearranging objects according to the needs of the user. The whole framework is gradually introduced through the entire thesis and is coupled with an extensive series of experiments to demonstrate its working principles. The experiments focus also on demonstrating the role of a developmental learning policy, in which new objects are regularly introduced, enabling both an increase in recognition performance while reducing the amount of supervision provided by the user.

description: Redundancy scheduling has emerged as a powerful strategy for improving response times in parallel-server systems. The key feature in redundancy scheduling is replication of a job upon arrival by dispatching replicas to different servers. Redundant copies are abandoned as soon as the first of these replicas finishes service. By creating multiple service opportunities, redundancy scheduling increases the chance of a fast response from a server that is quick to provide service, and mitigates the risk of a long delay incurred when a single selected server turns out to be slow. The diversity enabled by redundant requests has been found to strongly improve the response time performance, especially in case of highly variable service requirements. Analytical results for redundancy scheduling are unfortunately scarce however, and even the stability condition has largely remained elusive so far, except for exponentially distributed service requirements. In order to gain further insight in the role of the service requirement distribution, we explore the behavior of redundancy scheduling for scaled Bernoulli service requirements. We establish a sufficient stability condition for generally distributed service requirements and we show that, for scaled Bernoulli service requirements, this condition is also asymptotically nearly necessary. This stability condition differs drastically from the exponential case, indicating that the stability condition depends on the service requirements in a sensitive and intricate manner.
