La «invenzione» del carcere, tra carità cristiana e illuminismo penale (secc. XVII-XVIII)
Creators: name: Tavilla, Elio
Publisher: name: DNA – Di Nulla Academia
Year: 2023

description: La costrizione in carcere, da mera custodia temporanea in attesa della conclusione del giudizio, diventa pena autonoma e graduabile per opera della Chiesa in età moderna. Una viva rappresentazione delle condizioni delle carceri dello Stato Pontificio viene restituita da G.B. Scanaroli nella sua opera De visitatione carceratorum, del 1655, a cui si ispirerà poco meno di un secolo dopo L.A. Muratori nei suoi trattati La carità cristiana (1723) e Della pubblica felicità (1749). Il riformismo settecentesco di matrice illuminista se da una parte espresse ostilità alla crudeltà delle pene, carcere compreso (C. Beccaria), per l’altra giunse a concepire il lavoro forzato come una modalità “utilitarista” per mettere a frutto la detenzione dei carcerati (J. Bentham).

Seven Set Prime Number Theorem
Creators: name: Abdullah, Ahmad
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 490401
subject: Algebra and number theory

description: This paper seeks to explore the nature of primality by investigating relationships between prime numbers. For centuries, mathematicians have been intrigued by the unpredictable distribution of primes. The Seven-Set Prime Number Theorem (SSPNT) offers a novel approach to address this challenge. By building on Ulam's Spiral, SSPNT uses simple sets and visual patterns to gain insights into primality. This methodology not only provides a fresh perspective on prime number theory but also has potential applications in coding theory and cryptography, revealing hidden patterns and underlying structures.
title: Assessing Canopy Features, Its Shading Factor, And Their Influence in the Estimation of Evapotranspiration in Almond Orchards Using UAS Information and the Two-Source Energy Balance Model
Creators: name: Duran-Gomez, Moises R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: This study explored how canopy biomass and shadows affect evapotranspiration (ET) estimates, a crucial factor for irrigation management in almond orchards in California’s Central Valley. Data from 24 drone flights over three almond plots in 2021 and 2022 were analyzed using the Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model, combined with meteorological data from EC-towers. The study found that filtering out shadows improved ET estimation, particularly in young orchards, and identified the importance of using new Leaf Area Index (LAI) models for better accuracy. This research is part of the T-REX initiative, which integrates drone and ground-based data to enhance water use efficiency in almond orchards.

description: This report, which describes technical and economic aspects of edible oil recovery from bran stabilized by extrusion cooking, is based upon 1979 site visits to India, Egypt, and Burma, and interaction with persons involved in those phases of rice delivery systems expected to impinge upon rice bran oil production. Models are described in which bran produced at small or large two-stage rice mills is stabilized either in centralized or decentralized operations and is then subjected to oil extraction and refining. The effects upon return on investment of variable stabilization and bran costs and oil extraction and refining yields are examined. Edible oil recovery from rice bran is shown to be economically feasible under a wide range of technical and economic conditions. Data used to arrive at this conclusion should be applicable to situations in other countries.

Noise induced tipping in ocean circulation based on the Stommel model
Creators: name: Yin, Ziming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The Atlantic Ocean circulation transports the warmth and salinity northwards and it is a crucial part of the world climate. The flipping of this circulation is hypothesized to be the explanation of several abrupt climate changes over the past 2.6 million years. The pattern of this circulation can be determined from ocean models, and a typical pattern, which is also used in this thesis, is described by the Stommel model. There are two bifurcations in the Stommel model — one is a smooth bifurcation and the other is a non-smooth bifurcation. When the system approaches either bifurcation, the presence of noise makes the system escape from the current state easily. However, the properties of these two bifurcations are widely different. Here for the smooth bifurcation, the probability of tipping is judged by some well-known linear and nonlinear methods, including the linear decay rate, the potential energy and the skewness. Whereas for the non-smooth bifurcation, if there is no discernable trend from the above methods, we find out that one is also able to obtain the early warning signal by a unique feature of the Stommel model: the eigenvalues of the system matrix when approaching the non-smooth bifurcation are complex numbers, which lead to periodic circulations. The change of the periodic circulation can be observed by the variation of its power spectral density, which is important in showing the proximity to tipping. In this thesis, the coherence resonance is used to define this variation. After some extensive studies, we find that the combination of the above methods are able to give us an early warning signal as the system moves closer to the bifurcations.

description: We report rest-frame optical Keck/NIRSPEC spectroscopy of the bright lensed galaxy RCSGA 032727-132609 at z=1.7037. From precise measurements of the nebular lines, we infer a number of physical properties: redshift, extinction, star formation rate, ionization parameter, electron density, electron temperature, oxygen abundance, and N/O, Ne/O, and Ar/O abundance ratios. The limit on [O III]~4363 A tightly constrains the oxygen abundance via the "direct" or electron temperature method, for the first time in an average-metallicity galaxy at z~2. We compare this result to several standard "bright-line" O abundance diagnostics, thereby testing these empirically-calibrated diagnostics in situ. Finally, we explore the positions of lensed and unlensed galaxies in standard diagnostic diagrams, and explore the diversity of ionization conditions and mass--metallicity ratios at z=2.

description: We address the multiplicity of solutions to the time-energy canonical commutation relation for a given Hamiltonian. Specifically, we consider a particle spatially confined in a potential free interval, where it is known that two distinct self-adjoint and compact time operators conjugate to the system Hamiltonian exist. The dynamics of the eigenvectors of these operators indicate that different time operators posses distinguishing properties that can unambiguously associate them to specific aspects of the quantum time problem.
Leakage Current Reduction Techniques in Poly-Si TFTs for Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays:A Comprehensive Study

description: This paper critically examines the leakage current reduction techniques for improving the performance of poly-Si TFTs used in active matrix liquid crystal displays. This is a first comprehensive study in literature on this topic. The review assesses important proposals to circumvent the leakage current problem in poly-Si TFTs and a short evaluation of strengths and weaknesses specific to each method is presented. Also, a new device structure called the Triple Gate poly-Si TFT (TG-TFT) is discussed. The key idea in the operation of this device is to make the dominant conduction mechanism in the channel to be controlled by the accumulation charge density modulation by the gate (ACMG) and not by the gate-induced grain barrier lowering (GIGBL). Using twodimensional and two-carrier device simulation, it is demonstrated that the TG-TFT exhibits a significantly diminished pseudo-subthreshold conduction leading to several orders of magnitude reduction in the OFF state leakage current when compared to a conventional poly-Si TFT. The reasons for the improved performance are explained.

description: Topological insulators are predicted to present novel surface transport phenomena, but their experimental studies have been hindered by a metallic bulk conduction that overwhelms the surface transport. We show that a new topological insulator, Bi2Te2Se, presents a high resistivity exceeding 1 Ohm-cm and a variable-range hopping behavior, and yet presents Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations coming from the surface Dirac fermions. Furthermore, we have been able to clarify both the bulk and surface transport channels, establishing a comprehensive understanding of the transport in this material. Our results demonstrate that Bi2Te2Se is the best material to date for studying the surface quantum transport in a topological insulator.

description: We present observations of the molecular gas in the GN20 proto-cluster of galaxies at $z =4.05$ using the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA). This group of galaxies is the ideal laboratory for studying the formation of massive galaxies via luminous, gas-rich starbursts within 1.6 Gyr of the Big Bang. We detect three galaxies in the proto-cluster in CO 2-1 emission, with gas masses (H$_2$) between $10^{10}$ and $10^{11} \times (α/0.8)$ M$_\odot$. The emission from the brightest source, GN20, is resolved with a size $\sim 2"$, and has a clear north-south velocity gradient, possibly indicating ordered rotation. The gas mass in GN20 is comparable to the stellar mass ($1.3\times 10^{11} \times (α/0.8)$ M$_\odot$ and $2.3\times 10^{11}$ M$_\odot$, respectively), and the sum of gas plus stellar mass is comparable to the dynamical mass of the system ($\sim 3.4\times 10^{11} [sin(i)/sin(45^o)]^{-2}$ M$_\odot$), within a 5kpc radius. There is also evidence for a tidal tail extending another $2"$ north of the galaxy with a narrow velocity dispersion. GN20 may be a massive, gas rich disk that is gravitationally disturbed, but not completely disrupted. There is one Lyman-break galaxy (BD29079) in the GN20 proto-cluster with an optical spectroscopic redshift within our search volume, and we set a 3$σ$ limit to the molecular gas mass of this galaxy of $1.1\times 10^{10} \times (α/0.8)$ M$_\odot$.

description: We investigate the ionization structure of the nebular gas in M83 using the line diagnostic diagram, [O III](5007 \degA)/Hβ vs. [S II](6716 °A+6731 °A)/Hα with the newly available narrowband images from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We produce the diagnostic diagram on a pixel-by-pixel (0.2" x 0.2") basis and compare it with several photo- and shock-ionization models. For the photo-ionized gas, we observe a gradual increase of the log([O III]/Hβ) ratios from the center to the spiral arm, consistent with the metallicity gradient, as the H II regions go from super solar abundance to roughly solar abundance from the center out. Using the diagnostic diagram, we separate the photo-ionized from the shock-ionized component of the gas. We find that the shock-ionized Hα emission ranges from ~2% to about 15-33% of the total, depending on the separation criteria used. An interesting feature in the diagnostic diagram is an horizontal distribution around log([O III]/Hβ) ~ 0. This feature is well fit by a shock-ionization model with 2.0 Z\odot metallicity and shock velocities in the range of 250 km/s to 350 km/s. A low velocity shock component, < 200 km/s, is also detected, and is spatially located at the boundary between the outer ring and the spiral arm. The low velocity shock component can be due to : 1) supernova remnants located nearby, 2) dynamical interaction between the outer ring and the spiral arm, 3) abnormal line ratios from extreme local dust extinction. The current data do not enable us to distinguish among those three possible interpretations. Our main conclusion is that, even at the HST resolution, the shocked gas represents a small fraction of the total ionized gas emission at less than 33% of the total. However, it accounts for virtually all of the mechanical energy produced by the central starburst in M83.

Role of SHIP1 in the interleukin 10 signaling pathway
Creators: name: Shakibakho, Soroush
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Background: Inflammation is a major immune response that protects the host from infections. Upon pathogen encounter, immune cells are activated and produce pro-inflammatory mediators. Although inflammation is a critical step in both innate and acquired immune response, excessive inflammation can damage tissues and lead to inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Interleukin 10 (IL10) is a key anti-inflammatory cytokine that deactivates various immune cells including macrophages. IL10 signaling has classically been described to include ligand stimulated phosphorylation of the IL10 receptor (IL10R), recruitment of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and the subsequent phosphorylation, dimerization and translocation of STAT3 to the nucleus, where it stimulates transcription of anti-inflammatory genes. Our studies have shown that in addition to the canonical STAT3 signaling, IL10 mediates its anti-inflammatory effect through SHIP1 inositol phosphatase. We hypothesized that IL10 signaling leads to the recruitment and activation of a SHIP1-STAT3 complex that then mediates the anti-inflammatory effects of IL10. Our SHIP1 pulldown studies have revealed that SHIP1 and STAT3 form a complex in response to IL10. In addition, we observed the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which has been previously reported to play a role in IL10 signaling, to be part of this complex. The pro-inflammatory counterpart of IL10, IL6 is unable to initiate the formation of such complex although both IL10 and IL6 induce tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3. In addition to IL10, our small molecule SHIP1 agonist, AQX-151, was also found to induce the formation of the SHIP1-STAT3-AMPK complex. Our experiments in STAT3 knock-out bone marrow derived macrophages suggested that STAT3 mediates the association of SHIP1 and AMPK. We also mutated a number of phospho-Tyr residues in SHIP1 and assessed IL10 signaling. Tyr190 was identified to play an important role in both complex assembly and cellular response to IL10 (evaluated by inhibition of TNFα secretion). These studies showed for the first time the importance of SHIP1, STAT3 and AMPK complex in IL10 signaling. Understanding the mechanisms by which IL10 down regulates immune cell function will give insight into development of novel therapeutics that mimic the beneficial effects of IL10.

Age- and time-varying proportional hazards models for employment discrimination

description: We use a discrete-time proportional hazards model of time to involuntary employment termination. This model enables us to examine both the continuous effect of the age of an employee and whether that effect has varied over time, generalizing earlier work [Kadane and Woodworth J. Bus. Econom. Statist. 22 (2004) 182--193]. We model the log hazard surface (over age and time) as a thin-plate spline, a Bayesian smoothness-prior implementation of penalized likelihood methods of surface-fitting [Wahba (1990) Spline Models for Observational Data. SIAM]. The nonlinear component of the surface has only two parameters, smoothness and anisotropy. The first, a scale parameter, governs the overall smoothness of the surface, and the second, anisotropy, controls the relative smoothness over time and over age. For any fixed value of the anisotropy parameter, the prior is equivalent to a Gaussian process with linear drift over the time--age plane with easily computed eigenvectors and eigenvalues that depend only on the configuration of data in the time--age plane and the anisotropy parameter. This model has application to legal cases in which a company is charged with disproportionately disadvantaging older workers when deciding whom to terminate. We illustrate the application of the modeling approach using data from an actual discrimination case.

description: The answer to the title's question relies on Einstein's other (General) theory of Relativity as well as the block universe, which is the only view that is consistent with Special Relativity. The block universe says the past, present and future all exist — and are equally real — in a four-dimensional block where the passing of time is an illusion. Here, the word "illusion" is regarded as inaccurate and the passage of time is compared to the playing of a DVD. Time is permanently associated with space in physics, so space-time is analogous to DVDs which provide a way to contemplate time travel into both future and past - as well as a way to instantly journey from any location in the cosmos to any other, regardless of distance (entanglement extends beyond the quantum world). Similar to space-time being like a DVD, consciousness and Artificial Intelligence are compared to the laser which reads the information making up the DVD's sights and sounds.

description: The rapid neutron-capture process, or r-process, is known to be fundamental for explaining the origin of approximately half of the A>60 stable nuclei observed in nature. In recent years nuclear astrophysicists have developed more and more sophisticated r-process models, by adding new astrophysical or nuclear physics ingredients to explain the solar system composition in a satisfactory way. Despite these efforts, the astrophysical site of the r-process remains unidentified. The composition of the neutron star outer crust material is investigated after the decompression that follows its possible ejection. The composition of the outer crust of a neutron star is estimated before and after decompression. Two different possible initial conditions are considered, namely an idealized crust composed of cold catalyzed matter and a crust initially in nuclear statistical equilibrium at temperatures around 10 GK. We show that in this second case before decompression and at temperatures typically corresponding to 8 GK, the Coulomb effect due to the high densities in the crust leads to an overall composition of the outer crust in neutron-rich nuclei with a mass distribution close to the solar system r-abundance distribution. Such distributions differ, however, from the solar one due to a systematic shift in the second peak to lower values. After decompression, the capture of the few neutrons per seed nucleus available in the hot outer crust leads to a final distribution of stable neutron-rich nuclei with a mass distribution of 80 < A < 140 nuclei in excellent agreement with the solar distribution, provided the outer crust is initially at temperatures around 8 GK and all layers of the outer crust are ejected. The decompression of the neutron star matter from the outer crust provides suitable conditions for a robust r-processing of the light species, i.e., r-nuclei with A < 140.

description: This paper proposes a novel machine learning procedure for genome-wide association study (GWAS), named LightGWAS. It is based on the LightGBM framework, in addition to being a single, resilient, autonomous and scalable solution to address common limitations of GWAS implementations found in the literature. These include reliance on massive manual quality control steps and specific GWAS methods for each type of dataset morphology and size. Through this research, LightGWAS has been contrasted against PLINK2, one of the current state-of-the-art for GWAS implementations based on general linear model with support to firth regularisation. The mean differences measured upon standard classification metrics, extracted via quantitative empirical tests through k-fold cross-validation technique, indicated that LightGWAS outperforms PLINK2 for balanced, imbalanced, and high-imbalanced genomic datasets. Paired difference tests denoted statistical significance in the results extracted from the experiments with imbalanced datasets. This article contributes to the body of knowledge by presenting a potentially more efficient GWAS procedure based on nonparametric approaches. LightGWAS ensures adaptability with higher precision in the discovery of causal single-nucleotide polymorphisms, thanks to the leaf-wise tree growth algorithm offered by the state-of-the-art for gradient boosting decision trees. Control for false-positives and statistical power are automatically addressed by the model’s training process, which significative reduces human dependency during the study design.

description: The biosphere contains only 0.014% of Earth's water, distributed among lakes (0.008% ), soils (0.005% ), and the atmosphere, rivers, and biota (0.001 % ) (79). An additional 2.58% of Earth's water is fresh, occurring as ice (1.97%) or groundwater (0. 61 % ) . The remainder of Earth's water is saline. Climate affects key fluxes (evaporation, water vapor transport, and precipitation) that deter­mine the amount and distribution of freshwater (79). The availability of freshwater to both ecosystems and humans is therefore sensitive to changes in climate. The small amount of water found in the biosphere has large significance for ecosystems and society. The availability of water influences the distribu­tions of major biome types and potential agricultural productivity (35). Humans depend directly on freshwater for drinking, irrigation, industry, transportation, recreation, and fisheries. Expanding human populations and changes in global climate will exacerbate already severe stress to freshwater resources in some regions (1, 79, 108, 163, 172). In others, increased availability of water will potentially mitigate stress ( 1, 15, 163, 172). This review addresses the potential effects of global climate change on lake and stream ecosystems. Concern for brevity severely constrained the topics covered. Sustained shifts in global climate will have enormous effects on distributions and interactions of species (38, 71). We limit this review to fishes, which interact strongly with lower trophic levels (18, 122), illustrate key considerations common to other aquatic organisms, and are significant to the public. Although wetlands interact intimately with streams and lakes (169), our consideration is limited to their interactions with atmospheric chemistry. The major consequences of global change for freshwater ecosystems depend on the temporal and spatial scales at which effects are assessed. We have organized this review around two broad scales of change. Transitional scales pertain to landscape-level shifts in location, morphometry, and persistence of lakes and streams and their biotas over decades to centuries. Perturbational scales pertain to events with return times of years to decades that affect entire stream or lake ecosystems, such as floods, droughts, or fish recruitment events. We then turn to ecosystem metabolism as an integrated response to climate, and to feedbacks between freshwaters and regional climate; we close the review with salient uncertainties that should influence future research priorities.
Hadron production measurements of the EMPATHIC group

description: Long-baseline neutrino experiments produce neutrinos by colliding a beam onto a target. Hadrons produced in the target can be magnetically focused into a beam that decays in flight, yielding a collimated beam of neutrinos. Neutrino flux predictions are used to constrain the uncertainties of the detected neutrino flux and its uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainties in hadronic interactions. The reduction of this uncertainty would further the physics goals for these experiments. These uncertainties can be sourced to the production cross section uncertainty which has been set to a conservative value due to previous discrepancies in the estimated production cross section seen in the NA61/SHINE 2cm and 90cm carbon target data, used by the T2K collaboration. In addition, untuned secondary interactions within the horn and decay volume contribute to the uncertainty. The EMPHATIC group has taken data using the Fermilab test beam on carbon, aluminum, and steel targets for hadrons ranging from 2GeV/c to 120GeV/c. EMPHATIC uses gas Cherenkov and lead glass calorimeters for particle identification, semiconductor tracking detectors for position and timing information, and emulsion situated on a moving table for precise position measurements. In addition, an aerogel Cherenkov detector was constructed at TRIUMF which was used for testing at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. The silicon strip tracking detectors were instrumental in the data acquisition of the EMPHATIC experiment. The data acquired by the silicon strip detector for 30GeV/c protons impinging on a carbon target was fit with the Bellettini et al. model [1]. The parameters of the total cross section, the black body radius, and the nuclear transparency term were fit and agree within one standard deviation with previous measurements of Bellettini et al. The elastic cross section agrees within two standard deviations.

description: Internal symmetries can be used to classify multiple solutions to the time energy canonical commutation relation (TE-CCR). The dynamical behavior of solutions to the TE-CCR posessing particular internal symmetries involving time reversal differ significantly from solutions to the TE-CCR without those particular symmetries, implying a connection between the internal symmetries of a quantum system, its internal unitary dynamics, and the TE-CCR.
