description: The KATRIN experiment is designed to measure the absolute neutrino mass scale with a sensitivity of 200 meV at 90% C.L. by high resolution tritium beta-spectroscopy. A low background level of 10 mHz at the beta-decay endpoint is required in order to achieve the design sensitivity. In this paper we discuss a novel background source arising from magnetically trapped keV electrons in electrostatic retarding spectrometers. The main sources of these electrons are alpha-decays of the radon isotopes (219,220)Rn as well as beta-decays of tritium in the volume of the spectrometers. We characterize the expected background signal by extensive MC simulations and investigate the impact on the KATRIN neutrino mass sensitivity. From these results we refine design parameters for the spectrometer vacuum system and propose active background reduction methods to meet the stringent design limits for the overall background rate.

description: The Iberian Copper Age is a period dominated by the emergence of early complex societies. In sharp contrast with the preceding Neolithic, the Chalcolithic is characterized by agricultural intensification, population aggregation, political centralization and the appearance of ‘mega-villages’ on the landscape. Previous research has focused on the phenomenon of collective burial to suggest that these broad-scale social processes are underwritten by a ‘communally-organized society’. However the internal organization of such communities is still poorly understood, particularly because the taphonomy and social function of such collective burials are underexplored. At 113 ha in size, Marroquíes Bajos is one of the largest settlements known for the time period, and contains evidence of four different burial programs. This project’s bioarchaeological analysis of the mortuary variability at the site will allow for the investigation of whether Iberian Copper Age societies were collectively organized, or whether significant disparities in health, diet or material culture existed among the social units being represented in these burials Through osteological analysis, isotopic analysis of diet, AMS radiocarbon dating, and an archaeological analysis of tomb form and grave goods, my investigation at Marroquíes Bajos will allow for a more nuanced reconstruction of the ways in which Copper Age societies were organized, while deepening our understanding of how and why collective burials were used by prehistoric populations.

description: The inertial sliding of physisorbed submonolayer islands on crystal surfaces contains unexpected information on the exceptionally incommensurate smooth sliding state associated with superlubricity and on the mechanisms of its disappearance. Here we show in a joint quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation case study of Xe on Cu(111) how superlubricity emerges in the large size limit of naturally incommensurate Xe islands. Theory also predicts, as coverage approaches a full monolayer, an abrupt adhesion-driven 2D density compression of order several %, implying here a hysteretic jump from superlubric free islands to a pressurized commensurate immobile monolayer. This scenario is fully supported by QCM data showing remarkably large slip times at increasing submonolayer coverages, signaling superlubricity, followed by a dramatic drop to zero for the dense commensurate monolayer. Careful analysis of this variety of island sliding phenomena will be mandatory in future applications of friction of crystal-adsorbate interfaces.

description: Un farmaco generico � la copia bioequivalente di un farmaco di marca ed ha lo stesso principio attivo, modalit� di amministrazione, dosaggio e forza. Le versioni generiche hanno un ruolo chiave nel diminuire il prezzo dei farmaci rendendoli cos� pi� accessibili. Per introdurre un nuovo farmaco generico � necessario definire e sviluppare un processo di preparazione del principio attivo che soddisfa i requisiti di qualit� e non causa contraffazione dei brevetti esistenti. In questo progetto di dottorato ci siamo focalizzati su due differenti principi attivi: una molecola sintetica chiamata Lenvatinib mesilato ed un polisaccaride solfatato (SP) di natura semisintetica.

description: The 3-layer (3R) polytype of TaSe2-xTex shows a superconducting transition temperature that is between 6 and 17 times higher than that of the two-layer (2H) polytype. The remarkable difference in Tc, although clearly associated with a difference in polytype, could have been due to an electronic effect specific to the Te-Se substitution. Here we report that small amounts of Mo or W doping lead to a 2H to 3R polytype transition in Ta1-xMoxSe2 and Ta1-xWxSe2. The 3R polytype materials are again found to have substantially higher Tcs (~ 2 K for Ta0.9W0.1Se2 and Ta0.9Mo0.1Se2) than the 2H material (0.15 K). This eliminates the possibility that any special characteristics of the Te/Se substitution are responsible for the dramatic difference in Tc, and instead shows that a three-layer stacking sequence is strongly preferred for superconductivity over a two-layer stacking sequence in the TaSe2 system.

Concentration bounds for quantum states with finite correlation length on quantum spin lattice systems

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We consider the problem of determining the energy distribution of quantum states that satisfy exponential decay of correlation and product states, with respect to a quantum local hamiltonian on a spin lattice. For a quantum state on a $D$-dimensional lattice that has correlation length $σ$ and has average energy $e$ with respect to a given local hamiltonian (with $n$ local terms, each of which has norm at most $1$), we show that the overlap of this state with eigenspace of energy $f$ is at most $exp(-((e-f)^2σ)^{\frac{1}{D+1}}/n^{\frac{1}{D+1}}Dσ)$. This bound holds whenever $|e-f|>2^{D}\sqrt{nσ}$. Thus, on a one dimensional lattice, the tail of the energy distribution decays exponentially with the energy. For product states, we improve above result to obtain a Gaussian decay in energy, even for quantum spin systems without an underlying lattice structure. Given a product state on a collection of spins which has average energy $e$ with respect to a local hamiltonian (with $n$ local terms and each local term overlapping with at most $m$ other local terms), we show that the overlap of this state with eigenspace of energy $f$ is at most $exp(-(e-f)^2/nm^2)$. This bound holds whenever $|e-f|>m\sqrt{n}$.

description: We present the kinematics of the ionized gas over the inner 140 arcsec (10 kpc) of NGC 1068 from observations with the HIFI Fabry-Perot interferometer. There is clear evidence for density wave streaming and bar-driven streaming across the field, with bi-symmetric arms that penetrate to within 200 pc of the nucleus. CO maps show linear structures along (although slightly offset from) the bar consistent with a strong shock. Along the spiral arms which encircle the bar, the HII regions lie downstream of the CO gas in the rest frame of the bar, as do the dust lanes, only if the gas outruns the stellar bar. As a first step towards understanding the details of the gas kinematics, and attempting to determine the mass inflow rate towards the nucleus, we build a mass model for the central disk constrained by near-infrared images. We plan to use this model as gravitational background potential for hydro-dynamical simulations of the gas response to the bar. Comparing these with the data presented should enable us to constrain various quantities such as pattern speed, stellar mass-to-light ratio, central mass concentration, and gas fueling rate.
Strict Limits on the Ionizing Luminosity in NGC 1068 from Jet-Axis Molecular Clouds

description: The radio jet axis of NGC 1068 is characterised by energetic activity from x-ray to radio wavelengths. Detailed kinematic and polarization studies have shown that this activity is confined to bipolar cones centered on the AGN which intersect the plane of the disk. Thus, molecular clouds at 1 kpc distance along this axis are an important probe of the nuclear ionizing luminosity and spectrum. Extended 10.8µm emission coincident with the clouds is reasonably understood by dust heated to high temperatures by the nuclear radiation field. This model predicts that the nuclear spectrum is quasar-like (power law + blue excess) with a luminosity 2-5 times higher than inferred by Pier et al. (1994). Consequently, there is little or no polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission associated with the radio-axis molecular clouds. We review this model in the light of new observations. A multi-waveband collage is included to illustrate the possible orientations of the double cones to our line of sight and the galaxian plane.

The resulting outflow morphology, collimation and stability observed in these simulations have relevance to the study of young stellar objects, Herbig-Haro jets and molecular outflows. Our code follows hydrogen gas with molecular, atomic and ionic components tracking the associated time dependent molecular chemistry and ionization dynamics with radiative cooling appropriate for a dense molecular gas. We present tests of the code as well as new simulations which indicate the presence of instabilities in the wind-blown bubble's swept-up shell.

description: In this paper we study the fluctuations from the limiting behavior of small noise random perturbations of diffusions with multiple scales. The result is then applied to the exit problem for multiscale diffusions, deriving the limiting law of the joint distribution of the exit time and exit location. We apply our results to the first order Langevin equation in a rough potential, studying both fluctuations around the typical behavior and the conditional limiting exit law, conditional on the rare event of going against the underlying deterministic flow.

description: X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) may allow to employ the single particle imaging (SPI) method to determine the structure of macromolecules that do not form stable crystals. Ultrashort pulses of 10 fs and less allow to outrun complete disintegration by Coulomb explosion and minimize radiation damage due to nuclear motion, but electronic damage is still present. The major contribution to the electronic damage comes from the plasma generated in the sample that is strongly dependent on the amount of Auger ionization. Since the Auger process has a characteristic time scale on the order of femtoseconds, one may expect that its contribution will be significantly reduced for attosecond pulses. Here, we study the effect of electronic damage on the SPI at pulse durations from 0.1 fs to 10 fs and in a large range of XFEL fluences to determine optimal conditions for imaging of biological samples. We analyzed the contribution of different electronic excitation processes and found that at fluences higher than $10^{13}$-$10^{15}$ photons/$μ$m$^2$ (depending on the photon energy and pulse duration) the diffracted signal saturates and does not increase further. A significant gain in the signal is obtained by reducing the pulse duration from 10 fs to 1 fs. Pulses below 1 fs duration do not give a significant gain in the scattering signal in comparison with 1 fs pulses. We also study the limits imposed on SPI by Compton scattering.

Creators: name: PENA DIAZ, FRANCISCO DE ASIS

description: Since its inception, International Human Rights Law has been concerned with protecting those most exposed to violence and discrimination. However, their development in the aftermath of World War II ignored LGBTI people. The acknowledgment of this group as subjects of human rights has progressed slowly but inexorably. A good example of this is the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Although its provisions do not mention LGBTI people, it has eventually included them in its scope thanks to the case-law of the Court of Strasbourg. The same tendency is echoed in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. As a result, the refugee definition has evolved to accommodate persons who are very different in all probability from the people conceived by its drafters. Since the 1980s, LGBTI asylum-seekers have gradually acceded to refugee status. This is no small achievement. All too often, the violence suffered by these people is perpetrated while national authorities remain impassive or even participate in the oppression. Against this backdrop, many LGBTI people are forced to flee their countries of origin seeking the protection their States cannot or refuse to provide. However, the definition of refugee of the Geneva Convention fails to address issues of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and sexual characteristics, being more suitable to protect a male, European, cisgender and heterosexual refugee than an LGBTI asylum seeker. Although persecution on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity is now widely accepted in International Refugee Law, LGBTI asylum applications present a high degree of complexity, leading to many and varied issues affecting every element of the refugee definition. A sizeable number of these refugees flee to European States, whose societies portray themselves to the outside world as the strongest bulwarks of the LGBTI. However, European States are currently caught up in a primarily securitarian logic that sees refugees and irregular migrants as threats to their security, stability and "European way of life". As a result, regulations governing asylum status and procedures have been developing in an increasingly repressive way. The crisis of the Common European Asylum System that followed the arrival of large numbers of asylum seekers has led to a "new normal" in which the limitation of the rights of asylum seekers is not only legitimate and possible, but also desirable. In this thesis, we examine how this approach to migration affects LGBTI asylum seekers.

LIGHT SCATTERING FROM MICROMETRIC MINERAL DUST AND AGGREGATE PARTICLES: EFFECTS OF SHAPE AND STRUCTURE APPLIED TO PALEOCLIMATE STUDIES.
Creators: name: CREMONESI PLAJA, LLORENC
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: Atmospheric aerosol is known to impact the Earth radiative energy balance and the local temperature in the atmosphere by interacting with both solar and terrestrial radiation. The extent of this direct and indirect contribution has not to date been determined with adequate accuracy. The present work examines the scattering of visible light from non-spherical particles in the micrometric size range, such as mineral dust and colloidal aggregates, with a focus on the effect of their shape and morphology. Lorenz?Mie scattering and effective medium approximations are currently the main theoretical approaches to model the optical properties of aerosol particles, although their effectiveness has been recently called into question. This thesis provides an overview of the experimental results from Antarctic and Alpine ice cores by applying optical techniques with a particle-by-particle approach. A particular attention is also given to the study of colloidal aggregates as a model for complex particles. Specifically, we rely on Single Particle Extinction and Scattering and Near Field Scattering on flowing samples, which give model-independent results. On the theoretical side, an interpretation of scattering data is given in terms of the structure factor of the particles, beyond the spherical approximation. The experimental findings are also supported by extensive simulations based on the Discrete Dipole Approximation. By measuring two optical parameters simultaneously, it is possible to distinguish compact particles from aggregates of smaller particles occurring in deep ice cores. More generally, while some scattering parameters are correctly predicted by well-established models such as the Rayleigh?Debye?Gans theory, it is found that particle shape and internal structure have a significant effect on their complex scattering amplitude. Similarly, the discrepancy between the results obtained from two different approaches for particle sizing can be ascribed to particle shape. Moreover, there is evidence that effective medium approximations cannot be applied to aggregates, as a result of the contribution of correlations among the fields radiated by the particles in the aggregate.

LIMITI DELLA CONFISCA E TUTELA DEI TERZI

description: Il presente studio ha inteso analizzare il tema dei limiti soggettivi ed oggettivi della confisca penale muovendo sul piano metodologico dall?analisi del tema dei limiti soggettivi e oggettivi della decisione di confisca alla luce della ricostruzione della dottrina in ordine alla questione dei limiti soggettivi della cosa giudicata penale. In questa prospettiva sistematica si � inteso approfondire, quale peculiare tipologia del limite di cui si discute, il divieto di confisca ed ancor prima di sequestro preventivo in presenza dei diritti dei terzi estranei al reato previsto da pi� disposizioni normative (artt. 240 e 322 ter c.p. e art. 19 d.lgs. 8 giugno 2001). L?assenza nel sistema processuale penale di strumenti capaci di garantire al terzo, in accordo con questo divieto, adeguata tutela di fronte alla confisca disposta inter alios ha spinto la ricerca verso possibili interventi correttivi. In questa prospettiva pare collocarsi l?art. 104 bis dip. att. c.p.p, come recentemente rivisto dal legislatore, che, per la prima volta, consente al terzo di essere parte del processo e, dunque, di difendersi in maniera effettiva ed efficace, come richiesto anche dalla disciplina legislazione europea.

description: An equilibrium picture of thermodynamics is discussed at the apparent horizon of FRW universe in $f(T,T_G)$ gravity, where $T$ represents the torsion invariant and $T_G$ is the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss-Bonnet term. It is found that one can translate the Friedmann equations to the standard form of first law of thermodynamics. We discuss GSLT in the locality of assumption that temperature of matter inside the horizon is similar to that of horizon. Finally, we consider particular models in this theory and generate constraints on the coupling parameter for the validity of GSLT in terms of recent cosmic parameters and power law solutions.

INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE E RESPONSABILIT� PENALE PER DANNO DA PRODOTTO

description: This thesis focuses on the relationship between the development of autonomous artificial intelligence systems (?AI systems?) and criminal law. In particular, it deals with the following question: do the laws governing product liability adequately address the criminal liability issues of AI systems? Non-human agents, including robotics and software agents, and especially those using advanced artificial intelligence, are becoming increasingly autonomous in terms of the complexity of tasks they can perform, their potential casual impacts on the world that are unmitigated by human agents, and the diminishing ability of human agents to understand, predict or control how they operate. From a legal perspective, one of the main problems facing this technology development is the uncertain status of liability for the effects caused by artificial agents. In some cases, AI systems are capable of operating not only without the supervision of a human agent, but also without an entirely defined operational modus. As a matter of facts, robots can be programmed to be independent, to ?learn? from the environment and to experiment new strategies that cannot be predicted in advance. The problem involves legal as well as philosophical implications. On 16 February 2017, the European Parliament has adopted a Resolution with recommendations to the Commission on Civil Law Rules on Robotics, soliciting to reflect ? in relation to autonomous robots ? ?whether the ordinary rules on liability are sufficient or whether it calls for new principles and rules to provide clarity on the legal liability of various actors concerning responsibility for the acts and omissions of robots?. The civil law has already started dealing with this problem, but the discussion is still at the beginning in the criminal law field. If an intelligent agent causes harms to individuals or property (e.g. killing or injuring a person, or destroying an asset), who should be held criminally responsible? The manufacturer, the owner or the AI system itself? The elaborate addresses the issue from the perspective of criminal liability of the manufacturer of artificial intelligence systems, through the enhancement of the traditional category of ?allowed risk?. The development of the theme is accompanied by examples taken from the recent diffusion of self-driving vehicles, in order to help the reader to better understand the practical implications of AI systems.
ITALIANI E TEDESCHI ALLA CONQUISTA CULTURALE DEL 'GRANDE NORD' (1922-1945)

description: The interest on fascism in Scandinavia and Finland is due to the importance that Nazism gave to the ?nordic race?, its mythology and its cultural heritage. Fascism did not become very popular in the Nordic countries and it did not achieve power anywhere (the only exception was the case of Vidkun Quisling). This study, focused on Italian and German cultural propaganda in the Nordic countries, could show us that fascism was a global and transnational doctrine with diverse reformulations or ramifications. Therefore, this research could also be useful to the analysis of Mussolini?s struggle against Nazi political and cultural influence in the Nordic area. Organisations and associations like the Societ� Dante Alighieri (Dante Alighieri Society) and the Nordische Gesellschaft (Nordic Society), embodied the cultural comparison between the trope of Rome and the Germanic Weltanschauung. Moreover, the matter of race broke the network of the European right-wing groups and brought the failure of the ?Fascist International? dream. Consequently, the contradiction between the Latin and the Nordic interpretations of the world, made the Italo-German alliance fragile and inefficient.

description: The Multi-site Spectroscopic Telescope is a virtual instrument and the name of a collaboration that opens up a new observational window by combining continuous observations of spectroscopic variations and simultaneous photometric monitoring. This constitutes an enormous observational effort, but in return promises to finally provide access to a mode identification for and an asteroseismological analysis of the pulsating sdB star PG 1605+072. Multi-Site Spectroscopic Telescope observations for this object have been secured during a large coordinated campaign in May and June of the year 2002. The frequency resolution and coverage of the photometric time series has been noticeably enhanced by a significant contribution from the Whole Earth Telescope, which was used to observe PG 1605+072 as an alternate target during the WET XCov22 campaign, also conducted in May 2002. This paper briefly outlines the motivation for the MSST project and tries to give a first assessment of the overall quality of the data obtained, with a focus on the Whole Earth Telescope observations.

description: Evidence for local charge fluctuations linked to a charge disproportionation of the Bi ions in the distorted lattice of superconducting LaO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ BiS$_{2}$ is presented. In-plane short-range distortions of sulfur atoms up to 0.3 Å in magnitude break site symmetry and create two distinct environments around Bi. Out-of-plane motion of apical sulfur brings it closer to the La-O/F doping layer with increasing $x$ that may lead to a charge transfer conduit between the doping layers and the superconducting BiS$_{2}$ planes. The mechanism for superconductivity may arise from the interplay between charge density fluctuations and an enhanced spin-orbit coupling suggested theoretically, that induces spin polarization.

description: OBJECTIVE CBCT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RADIATION EXPOSURE,IN PARTICULAR WITH LARGE FIELDS OF VIEW (FOV) THAN CONVENTIONAL X-RAY TECHNIQUES COMMONLY USED IN ORTHODONTICS. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO DESCRIBE A NEW MEDIUM FOV THREE DIMENSIONAL CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON CBCT AND TO COMPARE THIS METHOD FOR ORTHODONTIC SAGITTAL DIAGNOSIS WITH TWO TRADITIONAL BI-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSES. MATERIALS AND METHODS 35 CBCT EXAMS (14 MALE; 21 FEMALE) WITH MEAN AGE 19,37+-11,76 WERE SELECTED FROM THE ARCHIVE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DENTISTRY OF ARMY MILITARY HOSPITAL, MILAN, ITALY. A MEDIUM FOV THREE DIMENSIONAL CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS COMPOSED OF 21 LANDMARKS (10 MIDSAGITAL AND 5 BILATERAL) AND 24 MEASUREMENTS (12 LINEAR, 12 ANGULAR) WERE PERFORMED USING A SOFTWEAR MIMICS RESEARCH� V. 17.0 (NV, TECHNOLOGIELAAN 15, 3001 LEUVEN, BELGIUM). ORTHODONTIC SAGITTAL ANALYSIS BASED ON TRADITIONAL BI-DIMENSIONAL EXAMINATIONS WAS CALCULATED WITH ANB ANGLE AND WITS INDEX. COHEN?S WEIGHTED KAPPA WAS USED FOR STATISTICAL ANALYSIS TO PERFORM THE INTER RATER CONCORDANCE OF THE THREE DIFFERENT ORTHODONTIC SAGITTAL EXAMINATIONS. RESULTS ORTHODONTIC SAGITTAL DIAGNOSIS HAD PERFECT AGREEMENT COMPARING MEDIUM FOV THREE DIMENSIONAL CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS (FA-FB DISTANCE) AND ANB ANGLE (K=1). ORTHODONTIC SAGITTAL DIAGNOSIS HAD MODERATE AGREEMENT COMPARING MEDIUM FOV THREE DIMENSIONAL CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS (FA-FB DISTANCE) AND WITS INDEX (K=0,57). CONCLUSIONS MEDIUM FOV THREE DIMENSIONAL CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS IS SUFFICIENTLY PRECISE AND RELIABLE FOR ORTHODONTIC SAGITTAL DIAGNOSIS, COMPARED WITH CONVENTIONAL METHODS OF EXAMINATION, PROVIDING AN ADVANTAGE OF THE REDUCED IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE.

description: A growing number of close binary stars are being discovered among central stars of planetary nebulae. Recent and ongoing surveys are finding new systems and contributing to our knowledge of the evolution of close binary systems. The push to find more systems was largely based on early discoveries which suggested that 10 to 15% of all central stars are close binaries. One goal of this series of papers is confirmation and classification of these systems as close binaries and determination of binary system parameters. Here we provide time-resolved multi-wavelength photometry of the central star of Abell 65 as well as further analysis of the nebula and discussion of possible binary--nebula connections. Our results for Abell 65 confirm recent work showing that it has a close, cool binary companion, though several of our model parameters disagree with the recently published values. With our longer time baseline of photometric observations from 1989--2009 we also provide a more precise orbital period of 1.0037577 days.

description: La tesi di dottorato si � concentrata sulla rivista d'arte militante "Arti Visive" (1952-58), organo ufficiale della Fondazione Origine di Roma, attraverso l'analisi sistematica della rivista in tutti i suoi aspetti (contenuti, immagini, grafica, impaginazione) e la consultazione di materiali documentari in archivi italiani e stranieri (USA, Inghilterra, Francia). La tesi ha cercato di mettere in evidenza le personalit� che hanno collaborato alla rivista e le posizioni che ha assunto durante gli anni di pubblicazione a sostegno dell'arte astratta (concretismo, informale) e a favore di un aggiornamento internazionale, tanto che la rivista ha favorito i rapporti privilegiati instauratisi tra il panorama aartistico romano e quello newyorkese.
