description: We report the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the fast millisecond pulsars (MSPs) B1937+21 (also known as J1939+2134) and B1957+20 (J1959+2048) using 18 months of survey data recorded by the \emph{Fermi} Large Area Telescope (LAT) and timing solutions based on radio observations conducted at the Westerbork and Nançay radio telescopes. In addition, we analyzed archival \emph{RXTE} and \emph{XMM-Newton} X-ray data for the two MSPs, confirming the X-ray emission properties of PSR B1937+21 and finding evidence ($\sim 4σ$) for pulsed emission from PSR B1957+20 for the first time. In both cases the gamma-ray emission profile is characterized by two peaks separated by half a rotation and are in close alignment with components observed in radio and X-rays. These two pulsars join PSRs J0034-0534 and J2214+3000 to form an emerging class of gamma-ray MSPs with phase-aligned peaks in different energy bands. The modeling of the radio and gamma-ray emission profiles suggests co-located emission regions in the outer magnetosphere.

description: We study the growth of black holes (BHs) in galaxies using three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations with new implementations of the momentum mechanical feedback, and restriction of accreted elements to those that are gravitationally bound to the BH. We also include the feedback from the X-ray radiation emitted by the BH, which heats the surrounding gas in the host galaxies, and adds radial momentum to the fluid. We perform simulations of isolated galaxies and merging galaxies and test various feedback models with the new treatment of the Bondi radius criterion. We find that overall the BH growth is similar to what has been obtained by earlier workers using the Springel, Di Matteo, & Hernquist algorithms. However, the outflowing wind velocities and mechanical energy emitted by winds are considerably higher (v_w ~ 1000-3000 km/s) compared to the standard thermal feedback model (v_w ~ 50-100 km/s). While the thermal feedback model emits only 0.1 % of BH released energy in winds, the momentum feedback model emits more than 30 % of the total energy released by the BH in winds. In the momentum feedback model, the degree of fluctuation in both radiant and wind output is considerably larger than in the standard treatments. We check that the new model of the BH mass accretion agrees with analytic results for the standard Bondi problem.

description: This talk presents the latest analysis of Bs->J/psiPhi decay at the ATLAS experiment, measuring the CP-violating phase phi_s, the decay width Gamma_s and the difference of widths between the mass eigenstates Delta-Gamma_s, as well as the transversity amplitudes and corresponding strong phases. The latest results (from 2016) are using integrated luminosity of 21.3 fb^{-1} collected by the ATLAS detector from 8 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, and are statistically combined with the results from 5.08 fb^{-1} of 7 TeV data. All the results are compatible with the Standard Model predictions. In addition an overview of the detector performance relevant for this particular analysis in current and future phases of the ATLAS experiment and the Large Hadron Collider are shown.

description: We construct some examples of D=3, N=4 GW theory and N=5 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory by using the covariantly constant curvature of a quaternionic-Kahler manifold to construct the symplectic 3-algebra in the theories. Comparing with the previous theories, the N=4, 5 theories constructed in this way possess a local Sp(2n) symmetry and a diffeomorphism symmetry associated with the quaternionic-Kahler manifold. We also construct a generalized N=8 BLG theory by utilizing the dual curvature operator of a maximally symmetric space of dimension 4 to construct the Nambu 3-algebra. Comparing with the previous N=8 BLG theory, the theory has a diffeomorphism invariance and a local SO(4) invariance associated with the symmetric space.

description: This paper underlines the role of food preparation and mealtimes in social dynamics within a female religious community. The case study is of the nunnery of San Paolo in Modena, where two different pottery deposits containing table and cooking sets used by the religious community have been dated to the late 15th century and the late 16th century respectively: before and after the Tridentine Council. Analyses of shapes, typologies, capacity, decorations and customized items demonstrate a basic change in community dynamics at mealtime which had taken place.

description: Brains vary greatly in neuronal number and density, even across individuals within the same species, yet it remains unclear whether such variation leads to differences in brain function or behavior. By imaging cortical activity of a mouse model in which neuronal production is moderately enhanced in utero, we find that animals with more cortical neurons also develop enhanced functional correlations and more distinct neuronal ensembles in primary visual cortex. These mice also have sharper orientation discrimination in their visual behavior. These results unveil a correlation between neuronal ensembles and behavior and suggest that neuronal number is linked to functional modularity and perceptual discrimination of visual cortex. By experimentally linking differences in neuronal number and behavior, our findings could help explain how evolutionary and developmental variability of individual and species brain size may lead to perceptual and cognitive differences.

description: DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) that are repaired in non-dividing cells must be recognized independently of replication-associated DNA unwinding. Using cell-free extracts from Xenopus eggs that support neither replication nor transcription, we establish that ICLs are recognized and processed by the mismatch repair (MMR) machinery. We find that ICL repair requires MutSα (MSH2–MSH6) and the mismatch recognition FXE motif in MSH6, strongly suggesting that MutSα functions as an ICL sensor. MutSα recruits MutLα and EXO1 to ICL lesions, and the catalytic activity of both these nucleases is essential for ICL repair. As anticipated for a DNA unwinding-independent recognition process, we demonstrate that least distorting ICLs fail to be recognized and repaired by the MMR machinery. This establishes that ICL structure is a critical determinant of repair efficiency outside of DNA replication.

An analogous result is obtained for stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert space with general additive noise. As applications, the main results are applied to obtain simpler proofs in known cases as the stochastic 3D Navier-Stokes equation, the tamed 3D Navier-Stokes equation and the Cahn-Hilliard equation, but also to get new results for stochastic surface growth PDE and stochastic power law fluids.

Microfluidic organ-on-chip for assessing the transport of therapeutic molecules and polymeric nanoconstructs
Creators: name: BARBATO, MARIA GRAZIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: The selective permeation of molecules and nanomedicines across the diseased vasculature dictates the success of a therapeutic intervention. Yet, in vitro assays cannot recapitulate relevant differences between the physiological and pathological microvasculature. Here, a double-channel microfluidic device was engineered to comprise vascular and extravascular compartments connected through a micropillar membrane with tunable permeability.
The vascular compartment was coated by endothelial cells to achieve permeability values ranging from 0.1 um/sec, following a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pre-treatment (25 ug/mL), up to 2 um/sec, upon exposure to Mannitol, Lexiscan or in the absence of cells. Fluorescent microscopy was used to monitor the vascular behavior of 250 kDa Dextran molecules, 200 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PB), and 1,000-400 nm discoidal polymeric nanoconstructs (DPN), under different permeability and flow conditions.
In the proposed on-chip microvasculature, it was confirmed that permeation enhancers could favor the perivascular accumulation of ~ 200 nm, in a dose and time dependent fashion, while have no effect on larger particles. Moreover, the microfluidic device was used to interrogate the role of particle deformability in vascular dynamics. In the presence of a continuous endothelium, soft DPN attached to the vasculature more avidly at sub-physiological flows (100 um/sec) than rigid DPN, whose deposition was larger at higher flow rates (1 mm/sec). The proposed double-channel microfluidic device can be efficiently used to systematically analyze the vascular behavior of drug delivery systems to enhance their tissue specific accumulation.
SURFACE CHEMISTRY EVALUATION IN THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MICRO-DEVICES FOR PROTEIN ANALYSIS
Creators: name: PISTIS, VALENTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: In this Ph.D. thesis, the problem of the coating and adhesion of polymers onto selected surfaces
has been investigated with the aim of designing micro-devices and/or microarrays for protein
analysis. In the first part of the thesis, the micro-fabrication of a device for isoelectric focusing has
been studied. The development of this device has required the covalent attachment of hydrogel
plugs functionalized with pH buffering monomers on an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) flat surface. The
two ITO-coated slides are separated by silicon frames (both 3mm thick) stuck on the surface and
the whole device was named as Micro Parallel Isoelectric focusing Device (MPID). The problem of
the adhesion of the hydrogel plugs onto the ITO anode under the high vacuum conditions of the
MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis has been solved, by properly selecting the percentage of monomers and
related polymerization conditions.
The MPID fabricated in accord to previous observations did not afford a completely efficient
isolectric separation of the model protein mixture (commercial carbonic anhydrase). Furthermore,
the proteins were absorbed onto plugs too tightly for a satisfactory, direct analysis by MALDITOF/
TOF of the plugs.
At this stage of the Ph.D. program, the MPID project has been abandoned and the second part of the
Ph.D. thesis has been directed towards the study of a functional coating onto different surfaces
using a polymer that is the result of the co-polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA), 3-
(trimethoxysilyl)-propylmethacrylate (MAPS) and acryloyloxysuccinimide (NAS) [ Copoly (DMANAS-
MAPS)]. It has been shown that this copolymer is able to generate thin layer of nanometer
size onto inorganic substrates like glass, silicon oxide, or gold, typically used for the development
of microarrays or bio-sensors for immunoassays. Applications of silicon and gold surfaces coated
by Copoly (DMA-NAS-MAPS) are presented and discussed.
Measurements of neutrino interactions on water using a fine-grained scintillator detector with water targets
Creators: name: Brook-Roberge, Daniel Grant
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Measurements of neutrino interaction cross-sections are important for the study of neutrino oscillations. For the T2K experiment, which has a near detector with a primarily carbon target and a far detector with an oxygen target, the cross-section difference is important for correctly comparing the neutrino fluxes at the two detectors. This dissertation presents a first measurement of the ratio between oxygen and carbon of the muon neutrino charge-current inclusive cross-section using the T2K near detector, ND280. The design and construction methods of the water target system in the ND280 Fine-Grained Detector (FGD) will be discussed, as will a new algorithm for reconstructing particle tracks contained within the FGD. The data analysis leading to the cross-section ratio measurement will be described. It is based on a statistical subtraction method which extracts the contribution of the FGD water mass to the total interaction rate for the FGD with water targets. We find an oxygen/carbon ratio of 1.129 ± 0.114 (stat) ± 0.044 (syst) from the ND280 data, a 1.39σ difference from the Monte Carlo prediction of 0.954 ± 0.029.

description: Human skin is commonly colonized and infected by Staphylococcus aureus. Exactly how these organisms are sensed by keratinocytes has not been clearly delineated. Using a combination of metabolic and transcriptomic methodologies, we found that S. aureus infection is sensed as a metabolic stress by the hypoxic keratinocytes. This induces HIF1α signaling, which promotes IL-1β production and stimulates aerobic glycolysis to meet the metabolic requirements of infection. We demonstrate that staphylococci capable of glycolysis, including WT and agr mutants, readily induce HIF1α responses. In contrast, Δpyk glycolytic mutants fail to compete with keratinocytes for their metabolic needs. Suppression of glycolysis using 2-DG blocked keratinocyte production of IL-1β in vitro and significantly exacerbated the S. aureus cutaneous infection in a murine model. Our data suggest that S. aureus impose a metabolic stress on keratinocytes that initiates signaling necessary to promote both glycolysis and the proinflammatory response to infection.

description: The magnetic interactions between a fermion and an antifermion of opposite electric or color charges in the 1S0 and 3P0 states are very attractive and singular near the origin and may allow the formation of new bound and resonance states at short distances. In the two body Dirac equations formulated in constraint dynamics, the short-distance attraction for these states for point particles leads to a quasipotential that behaves near the origin as -α^2/r^2. Both 1S0 and 3P0 states admit two types of eigenstates with drastically different behaviors for the radial wave function u=rψ. One type of states, with u growing as r^{1+\sqrt(1-4*α^2)/2} at small r, will be called usual states. The other type of states with u growing as r^{(1-\sqrt(1-4*α^2))/2} will be called peculiar states. Both of the usual and peculiar eigenstates have admissible behaviors at short distances. The usual bound 1S0 states possess attributes the same as those one usually encounters in QED and QCD. In contrast, the peculiar bound 1S0 states, yet to be observed, have distinctly different bound state properties and scattering phase shifts. For the 3P0 states, the usual solutions lead to the standard bound state energies and no resonance, but resonances have been found for the peculiar states whose energies depend on the description of the internal structure of the charges, the mass of the constituent, and the coupling constant. The existence of both usual and peculiar eigenstates in the same system leads to the non-self-adjoint property of the mass operator and two non-orthogonal complete sets. The mass operator can be made self-adjoint with a single complete set of admissible states by introducing a new peculiarity quantum number and an enlarged Hilbert space.

description: We compute the expectation values of circular Wilson loops in large representations at strong coupling, in the large-N limit of the N=2 superconformal theory with SU(N) gauge group and 2N hypermultiplets. Employing Pestun's matrix integral, we focus attention on symmetric and antisymmetric representations with ranks of order N. We find that large rank antisymmetric loops are independent of the coupling at strong 't Hooft coupling while symmetric Wilson loops grow exponentially with it. Symmetric loops display a non-analyticity as a function of the rank, characterized by the splitting of a single matrix model eigenvalue from the continuum, bearing close resemblance to Bose-Einstein condensation in an ideal gas. We discuss implications of these for a putative large-N string dual. The method of calculation we adopt makes explicit the connection to Fermi and Bose gas descriptions and also suggests a tantalizing connection of the above system to a multichannel Kondo model.

DIFFUSIVE PROCESSES ON SOCIAL GRAPHS

description: Social networks are emerging as one of the most revolutionary innovations of the last
decades. Their impact in politics, social behaviour, economics is just at the very beginning and yet a better understanding of their structure is an urgent task.

Despite the importance of social networks is so self-evident, a scientific study of these
objects have to face issues that could appear insurmountable. First of all even a definition, in a mathematical sense, of what a social network is does not exist.
Secondly, even assuming we agreed on some definition, social networks have grown at an exceptional rate. Nowadays a typical social network have tens to hundreds millions of nodes and billions of arcs, so any algorithm that is more than linear (or linearithmic) in the number of arcs is out of question. Lastly, evaluating the performances of new techniques is not a trivial task since the majority of meta-data about social networks are industrial secrets of great economical value and are treasured as such.

In this thesis we present several results that, far from solving these problems, try to
push a little forward our understanding of the very structure of social networks. The
main theme of all the presented results is that much can be understood of the structure
of a graph when we let some diffusive process evolve on it. Diffusive processes are
inherently local and often randomized: each node of the graph chooses how to update
its state just looking at its neighbours. Randomness is usually crucial in the initialization phase and in the update order. These kinds of processes have two major advantages: each round is linear in the number of arcs and they do not require that the whole graph is loaded into main memory. Thus they are perfect candidates for the analysis of huge networks.

description: We show that nuclear C*-algebras have a refined version of the completely positive approximation property, in which the maps that approximately factorize through finite dimensional algebras are convex combinations of order zero maps. We use this to show that a separable nuclear C*-algebra A which is closely contained in a C*-algebra B embeds into B.

description: There is substantial interest in producing samples of ultracold molecules for possible applications in quantum computation, quantum simulation of condensed matter systems, precision measurements, controlled chemistry, and high precision spectroscopy. A crucial step to obtaining large samples of ultracold, trapped molecules is developing a means to bridge the gap between typical molecular source velocities (~150-600 m/s) and velocities for which trap loading or confinement is possible (~5-20 m/s). Here we show deceleration of a beam of neutral strontium monofluoride (SrF) molecules using radiative force. Under certain conditions, the deceleration results in a substantial flux of molecules with velocities <50 m/s. The observed slowing, from ~140 m/s, corresponds to scattering ~10000 photons. We also observe longitudinal velocity compression under different conditions. Combined with molecular laser cooling techniques, this lays the groundwork to create slow and cold molecular beams suitable for trap loading.

description: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of a single-day exposure to 5-Azacytidine (5-AzaC), a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, on neurobehavioral abnormalities in mice. Our findings suggest that the 5-AzaC treatment significantly inhibited DNA methylation, impaired extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) activation and reduced expression of the activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc). These events lead to the activation of caspase-3 (a marker for neurodegeneration) in several brain regions, including the hippocampus and cortex, two brain areas that are essential for memory formation and memory storage, respectively. 5-AzaC treatment of P7 mice induced significant deficits in spatial memory, social recognition, and object memory in adult mice and deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) in adult hippocampal slices. Together, these data demonstrate that the inhibition of DNA methylation by 5-AzaC treatment in P7 mice causes neurodegeneration and impairs ERK1/2 activation and Arc protein expression in neonatal mice and induces behavioral abnormalities in adult mice. DNA methylation-mediated mechanisms appear to be necessary for the proper maturation of synaptic circuits during development, and disruption of this process by 5-AzaC could lead to abnormal cognitive function.
Peak intensity measurement of relativistic lasers via nonlinear Thomson scattering

Year: 2011

description: The measurement of peak laser intensities exceeding $10^{20} \text{W/cm$^2$}$ is in general a very challenging task. We suggest a simple method to accurately measure such high intensities up to about $10^{23} \text{W/cm$^2$}$, by colliding a beam of ultrarelativistic electrons with the laser pulse. The method exploits the high directionality of the radiation emitted by ultrarelativistic electrons via nonlinear Thomson scattering. Initial electron energies well within the reach of laser wake-field accelerators are required, allowing in principle for an all-optical setup. Accuracies of the order of 10% are theoretically envisaged.

The properties of long gamma-ray bursts in massive compact binaries

description: We consider a popular model for long-duration gamma-ray bursts, in which the progenitor star, a stripped helium core, is spun up by tidal interactions with a black- hole companion in a compact binary. We perform population synthesis calculations to produce a representative sample of such binaries, and model the effect that the companion has on material that falls back on to the newly-formed black hole. Taking the results of hydrodynamic models of black-hole formation by fallback as our starting point, we show that the companion has two main effects on the fallback process. First, a break forms in the accretion curve at around 10 000 s. Secondly, subsequent to the break, we expect to see a flare of total energy around 0.1 foe. We predict that the break time is set largely by the semi-major axis of the binary at the time of explosion, and that this correlates negatively with the flare energy. Although comparison with observations is non-trivial, we show that our predicted break times are comparable to those found in the X-ray light curves of canonical long-duration gamma-ray bursts. Similarly, the flare properties that we predict are consistent with the late-time flares observed in a sub-sample of bursts.

description: This paper explores the significant evolution of three Red Lists for the Papilionoidea in Albania (2006, 2013, and 2022) in comparison to the latest status of the Fluturat e Shqipërisë Atlas (09.ii.2025).This marked evolution underscores the need for effective species monitoring that minimizes bias and maximizes both the quantity and quality of data collected, moving beyond sole reliance on opportunistic field research by entomologists and biodiversity repositories such as Inaturalist and Observado. This need is particularly relevant as Albania rapidly develops into a Western-style, economically driven country, facing threats akin to those seen in new EU member states in past decades, which have experienced significant declines in butterfly populations and distribution.Providing standardized and regularly updated status indicators is essential for guiding conservation efforts, enabling swift adaptation to emerging challenges in protecting endangered butterflies and their habitats.
