description: We establish several new results on Marton's coding scheme and its corresponding inner bound on the capacity region of the general broadcast channel. We show that unlike the Gaussian case, Marton's coding scheme without superposition coding is not optimal in general even for a degraded broadcast channel with no common message. We then establish properties of Marton's inner bound that help restrict the search space for computing the sum-rate. Next, we show that the inner bound is optimal along certain directions. Finally, we propose a coding scheme that may lead to a larger inner bound.

European electricity day ahead market : a multiple time series approach
Creators: name: TRABUCCHI, Marta
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2015

description: The energy market reform is a complex restructuring process that first has liberalized Member State electricity markets and gradually fosters them toward integration into the Single European Market. Even if national markets are still characterized by several differences in the production structures, regulation shapes a common market design at European level and voluntary measures have been adopted to promote market integration. In this framework, Power Exchanges have taken a key role as shown by the growing volumes traded on their different segments and electricity price forecasting has become an interesting research field. Up to now, most of the contributions on short-term forecasting of day-ahead electricity prices do not include the possibility of dynamic interactions between several interconnected markets, despite the recent empirical literature highlights cointegration in the CWE area. After a primer on the economics of electricity markets and the analysis of the regulatory and market framework, the present work proposes a multiple time series approach for electricity price forecasting, joining the two strands of empirical literature on market integration and day-ahead price forecasting. Accounting for the presence of market integration enlarges the model information set, so it may potentially improve the forecasting performance.
This thesis considers hourly day-ahead electricity prices for eight European countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia and Switzerland) for the period May 2010?July 2013. At present, an in-depth comparison between multiple and simple time series forecasting accuracy does not allow stating that estimating multiple time series models, and especially including potential cointegration relationships between day-ahead electricity markets, greatly improve their forecasting performances compared to simple time series models. The adoption of multiple time series may lead to better results only in some hours and in other hours simple time series models outperform multiple time series ones (especially ramp- up hours in the morning).

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between Indian independence activists, Indian anti-caste advocates, and black American civil rights activists between Swami Vivekananda’s first visit to the United States in 1893, and the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Indian figures such as Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore and Lala Lajpat Rai visited the United States for lengthy periods and drew parallels between the oppression of black Americans within America’s racial caste system and the marginalization of Indians under the British Raj and the Indian caste system. Similarly, African-American activists such as W.E.B. Du Bois, A. Philip Randolph and Walter White closely monitored the Indian independence movement in search of alliances and inspiration for combating white supremacy. While scholars have recognized that some American civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr. took inspiration from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and used Gandhi’s non-violent principles in their civil rights activism, they have undervalued interactions between earlier activists. Historians such as Gerald Horne and Nico Slate have documented some of these earlier exchanges, but they also have missed some notable interactions, or, in some cases, misinterpreted some figures’ theorization of race, caste, and class dynamics. The thesis builds on the work of Slate and Horne and examines exchanges between American civil rights activists and their Indian counterparts. It assesses the impact of their exchange of ideas and efforts to forge alliances between African-Americans and Indians. The study utilizes a variety of sources such as letters exchanged between American and Indian thinkers, newspaper articles, monologues, speeches, and interviews. Adopting an approach focused on Indian and American individuals, the thesis analyzes and evaluates the validity and accuracy of their race, caste, and class theorizations, as well as the effects of their activism in America and India.
Dynamical heterogeneity in a highly supercooled liquid: Consistent calculations of correlation length, intensity, and lifetime

description: We have investigated dynamical heterogeneity in a highly supercooled liquid using molecular-dynamics simulations in three dimensions. Dynamical heterogeneity can be characterized by three quantities: correlation length $ξ_4$, intensity $χ_4$, and lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}$. We evaluated all three quantities consistently from a single order parameter. In a previous study (H. Mizuno and R. Yamamoto, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 82}, 030501(R) (2010)), we examined the lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ in two time intervals $t=τ_α$ and $τ_{\text{ngp}}$, where $τ_α$ is the $α$-relaxation time and $τ_{\text{ngp}}$ is the time at which the non-Gaussian parameter of the Van Hove self-correlation function is maximized. In the present study, in addition to the lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$, we evaluated the correlation length $ξ_4(t)$ and the intensity $χ_4(t)$ from the same order parameter used for the lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$. We found that as the temperature decreases, the lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ grows dramatically, whereas the correlation length $ξ_4(t)$ and the intensity $χ_4(t)$ increase slowly compared to $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ or plateaus. Furthermore, we investigated the lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ in more detail. We examined the time-interval dependence of the lifetime $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ and found that as the time interval $t$ increases, $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ monotonically becomes longer and plateaus at the relaxation time of the two-point density correlation function. At the large time intervals for which $τ_{\text{hetero}}(t)$ plateaus, the heterogeneous dynamics migrate in space with a diffusion mechanism, such as the particle density.

A Geometric Approach to Orlov's Theorem
Creators: name: Shipman, Ian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: Category Theory (math.CT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A famous theorem of D. Orlov describes the derived bounded category of coherent sheaves on projective hypersurfaces in terms of an algebraic construction called graded matrix factorizations. In this article, I implement a proposal of E. Segal to prove Orlov's theorem in the Calabi-Yau setting using a globalization of the category of graded matrix factorizations (graded D-branes). Let X be a projective hypersurface. Already, Segal has established an equivalence between Orlov's category of graded matrix factorizations and the category of graded D-branes on the canonical bundle K of the ambient projective space. To complete the picture, I give an equivalence between the homotopy category of graded D-branes on K and Dcoh(X). This can be achieved directly and by deforming K to the normal bundle of X, embedded in K and invoking a global version of Knörrer periodicity. We also discuss an equivalence between graded D-branes on a general smooth quasi-projective variety and on the formal neighborhood of the singular locus of the zero fiber of the potential.

The new entrepreneurial opportunity recognition process. Assessing the role of public intervention on the electricity market
Creators: name: SASSO, Loredana
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2014

description: The topic of the thesis is the opportunity recognition process with a special focus on the electricity market. The paper is organized in three big chapters.
The first one contains an extensive literature review about the opportunity recognition process. An insight in recent entrepreneurship research shows an increasing number of contributions and a considerable academic interest for the phenomenon. This work concentrates on the existence, discovery and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities.
The second chapter considers a set of about fifty entrepreneurs operating in technological fields and investigates, through detailed interviews using Grounded Theory, exactly the path through which the individual becomes entrepreneur. Using some theoretical models, that jointly consider the role of entrepreneurs and of opportunities, a deepen comprehension of the phenomenon has been reached. Also a quantitative approach, using a factor analysis, highlights the existence of latent factors and regularities drawing the process of opportunity recognition: in particular the ones referring to education reinforce the idea that it is possible to create a fertile environment for entrepreneurship.
The third chapter deepens the previous analysis through the study of a specific industry: the electricity market. The study aims to identify suitable regulatory frameworks and business models for transmission investment to enable international exchange and local use of renewable energy across the EU and MENA regions. In particular the analysis explores how policy frameworks can support the discovery of some opportunities and the rise of some entrepreneurial projects. This research has its roots in the guidelines suggested by the European Union to overcome the actual crisis enhancing innovation, through new entrepreneurship and SMEs, and competitiveness, through sustainable development and cost savings especially about energy.

Voci migranti nella letteratura spagnola contemporanea
Creators: name: CHIODAROLI, Sara
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2012

description: The phenomenon of immigration in contemporary Spain has led the country to face new forms of cultural production, as literature, proceeding from extra cultural contexts now included in the local territory. The post-colonial perspective has been meaningful to analyse the literary texts recollected in this work, but the sight proposed by Homi Komi Bhabha and Spivak needed to be revised according to a new historical context. The western metropolis that hosts the XXI century migrants is not anymore linked to a postcolonial and decolonized world, but to a new form of renovated colonialism, expressed in the enclosure of EU frontiers, in the political and media production of ?illegality? and in the economical slavery of the ?North? on the ?South?. The ?absence? of colonized people has been reactivated in the denial of existence of contemporary ?il/legal beings?, invisible in the darkness of their irregular condition or, if they are legal, still not visible in the obscurity of stereotypes and racism of European citizens.
The analysis of some meaningful literary texts of immigrant authors living in Spain, such as Najat El Hachmi, Sa�d El Kadaoui, V�ctor Ombga and Sivia Cuevas-Morales, has shown interesting results on the variability of self-representation forms and on the effects that the anti-immigration EU policy has on the expression of the ?in-between? voices.

description: In quantum state tomography, one potential source of error is uncontrolled contact of the system with a heat bath whose detailed properties are not known, and whose impact on the system moreover varies between different runs of the experiment. Precisely these variations provide a handle for reconstructing the system's effective relaxation dynamics. I propose a pertinent estimation scheme which is based on a steepest-descent ansatz and maximum likelihood. After reconstructing the relaxation dynamics, the original quantum state of the system can be constrained to a curve in state space.

Modelling and testing for jumps in the prices of financial assets

description: The third essay, entitled ?Jumps and price discovery in the US Treasury market?, explores different aspects related to the price discovery process for the US Treasury bonds when jumps occur. We identify and estimate jumps in the US Treasury 2-, 5-,10- and 30-year bonds both on a daily basis, by using the standard Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2004) test for jumps, as well as at an intraday level, by applying the Lee and Mykland (2008) procedure. Results show that US Treasury bonds exhibit jumps in their prices in 14.5% of the days for the 2-year maturity, in 10.6% for the 5-year bond, 9.6% for the 10-year and finally in 17.91% of the days for the 30-year bond. We find that in the 5 minutes before a jump, liquidity withdraws, and then it rises again. The trading volume falls in the 5-10 minutes before a jump takes place and increases again afterward. Around 90% of the jumps occur at the same time or slightly after macroeconomic announcements and the standardized announcement surprise is revealed to be an important determinant of the probability of jump occurrence. The trading information is found to have a low impact on prices before a jump takes place, which increases to a very high level immediately after the jump and then dissipates gradually, maintaining itself at quite high levels up to 20 minutes after a jump occurs.

La valutazione del personale non dirigente tra ottimizzazione della produttivit� ed efficienza della pubblica amministrazione
Creators: name: CARUSO, Germana
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2013

description: International economic Bodies and authoritative academic studies agree on identifying the Italian Public Sector as a formidable, unhatched vein of competitiveness. The growing attention to Public work?s productivity and to the State apparatus? expense trend, which are all closely related elements to the entire Country?s competitiveness, are at the base of the recent Public Sector reform (d.lgs. 150/2009).
The Italian Parliament, moved towards finding a concurrence of Public employment and private sector regulative assets, entrusting the role of strategic incentive for modernization to performance evaluation and measurement systems, both individual and organizational ones, so as to make the whole Public sector more efficient, on the whole.
This research, carried out on the methodological level by integrating the legal approach with the analysis instruments offered by organizational sciences, starts from the analysis of the critical aspects of the performance measurement and evaluation systems of the public employees in central Administrations.
The final result was that of moving from the centrality of individual performance to the supremacy of organizational performance; a change of perspective in the face of which the Reform still atones for an error in planning.
The d.lgs. 150/2009, in fact, concentrates its efficiency around the ?performance lever?, activated by the improvement of civil servants? performance, and only marginally takes into consideration the opportunities offered, in terms of competitiveness recovery of the Public Sector, by activities of re-triggering of the Public apparatuses? processes and restructuring.
Finally, the critical analysis of the changes intervened on the context conditions at the basis of d.lgs. 150/2009, sets the right premises for the processing of de iure condendo perspectives on a new model of union liaisons.

description: We provide a scheme for the generation of entangled number states of Bose-Einstein condensates in multiple wells with cyclic pairwise connectivity. The condensate ground state in a multiple well trap can self-evolve, when phase engineered with specific initial phase differences between the neighboring wells, to a macroscopic superposition state with controllable entanglement -- to multiple well generalization of double well NOON states. We demonstrate through numerical simulations the creation of entangled states in three and four wells and then explore the creation of "larger" entangled states where there are either a larger number of particles in each well or a larger number of wells. The type of entanglement produced as the particle numbers, or interaction strength, increases changes in a novel and initially unexpected manner.

description: Naveed, Kamara, and Wright's recent paper "Inference Attacks on Property-Preserving Encrypted Databases" (ACM-CCS 2015) evaluated four attacks on encrypted databases, such as those based on the design of CryptDB (Popa et al., SOSP 2011). Two of these attacks---frequency analysis and l_p-optimization---apply to deterministically encrypted columns when there is a publicly-available auxiliary data set that is "well-correlated" with the ciphertext column. In their experiments, frequency analysis performed at least as well as l_p-optimization for p=1, 2, and 3. We use maximum likelihood estimation to confirm their intuition and show that frequency analysis is an optimal cryptanalytic technique in this scenario.A note on the optimality of frequency analysis vs. ℓpℓp-optimization

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) systems can be complex and non-interpretable, making it challenging for non-AI experts to understand or intervene in their decisions. This is due in part to the sequential nature of RL in which actions are chosen because of their likelihood of obtaining future rewards. However, RL agents discard the qualitative features of their training, making it difficult to recover user-understandable information for "why" an action is chosen. We propose a technique Experiential Explanations to generate counterfactual explanations by training influence predictors along with the RL policy. Influence predictors are models that learn how different sources of reward affect the agent in different states, thus restoring information about how the policy reflects the environment. Two human evaluation studies revealed that participants presented with Experiential Explanations were better able to correctly guess what an agent would do than those presented with other standard types of explanation. Participants also found that Experiential Explanations are more understandable, satisfying, complete, useful, and accurate. Qualitative analysis provides information on the factors of Experiential Explanations that are most useful and the desired characteristics that participants seek from the explanations.

description: Results are presented from numerical simulations of the flat-space nonlinear Klein-Gordon equa- tion with an asymmetric double-well potential in spherical symmetry. Exit criteria are defined for the simulations that are used to help understand the boundaries of the basins of attraction for Gaussian "bubble" initial data. The first exit criteria, based on the immediate collapse or expan- sion of bubble radius, is used to observe the departure of the scalar field from a static intermediate attractor solution. The boundary separating these two behaviors in parameter space is smooth and demonstrates a time-scaling law with an exponent that depends on the asymmetry of the potential. The second exit criteria differentiates between the creation of an expanding true-vacuum bubble and dispersion of the field leaving the false vacuum; the boundary separating these basins of attraction is shown to demonstrate fractal behavior. The basins are defined by the number of bounces that the field undergoes before inducing a phase transition. A third, hybrid exit criteria is used to determine the location of the boundary to arbitrary precision and to characterize the threshold behavior. The possible effects this behavior might have on cosmological phase transitions are briefly discussed.

The evalutation of IPOs and its influence on a private firm's exit decision
Creators: name: SIGNORI, Andrea
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2014

description: The current research investigates the valuation of companies going public in different phases of the IPO process, and unveils its implications on a private firm?s exit decision. The first paper focuses on how underwriters select comparable firms when valuing IPOs. We document that they perform a biased, left-truncated selection, as they omit peers with the poorest valuations compared to those selected by sell-side analysts or obtained from matching algorithms. IPOs are priced at a discount compared to peers selected by underwriters, but at a premium with regards to alternatively selected peers, even by considering peers chosen by the same underwriter acting as analyst.
The second paper deals with aftermarket valuation of IPOs, focusing on the relation between the fees paid to underwriters and the services they provide to the issuer, such as price stabilization. We study whether a formal commitment by underwriters to provide ancillary services allows them to charge higher fees, and find that asking underwriters to support aftermarket valuation (i.e., stabilize stock price) is costly to the issuer, while to support liquidity is not. Underwriters stabilize IPOs that really need it, whereas the drivers of the provision of liquidity support are less clear.
The third paper examines how the possibility to go public and be subsequently acquired at a higher valuation alters a private firm?s initial exit trade-off between IPO and acquisition. Firms suffering from greater information asymmetry and more severe financial constraints are more likely to go public before being acquired, rather than be directly acquired as private. These firms receive a higher valuation than that obtained by similar private targets. On the other hand, there are risks associated with two-stage exits. Less successful firms face a higher probability of delisting, with a valuation similar to what they would have obtained by selling out as private.

Improving platelet storage bags : antifouling polymer coatings, antimicrobial peptides and surface topography
Creators: name: Hadjesfandiari, Narges
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is aimed at developing an antibacterial and biocompatible coating for platelet storage bags. Platelets are blood cells that play an essential role in stopping bleeding. Stored platelets for transfusion have a limited shelf life due to the loss of platelet quality upon storage and the risk of bacterial growth in the storage bags. The hydrophobic surface of plasticized polyvinyl chloride platelet storage bags is conducive to bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation and platelet adhesion. In Chapter 1 platelet transfusion and the associated challenges as well as biomaterials’ surface characteristics and biocompatibility are introduced. In Chapter 2 some hydrophilic polymer brushes are developed on platelet bag surfaces and characterized. Polymer coatings made of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) and a copolymer of DMA and N-(3-aminopropyl)methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMA) (DMA/APMA: 5/1) could inhibit bacterial adhesion on platelet bag surfaces under growth conditions by 95 % and 70 % respectively. These coated surfaces also showed decreased platelet adhesion. To add bactericidal activity to the coating, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are then conjugated to polymer brushes and characterized in Chapter 3. These coated substrates increased the level of platelet adhesion and activation, however. Tuning the amount of peptide on bag surfaces and reproducing coated surface characteristics (with or without peptides) were both challenging. Taking another approach in Chapter 4, mussel-inspired chemistry is used to coat platelet bags as well as gold and silicon wafers with the antifouling polymeric system. The optimum polymer coating could resist fibrinogen adsorption, bacterial and platelet adhesion. An AMP-containing bactericidal coating was also synthesized and coated on silicon wafers using this approach. AMPs were mapped on the modified surfaces and they showed bactericidal activity in vitro. A significance of the applied methods in this thesis is their compatibility with commercial biomaterials containing leachable plasticizers. The chemical composition and morphology of some platelet bags used in Canada are studied in Chapter 5. Evaluation of bacterial and platelet adhesion on their surfaces suggests fabricating bags with only one textured surface inside and positioning it above a non-textured surface. Potential commercial application of the coatings developed here has been a perspective of this project.
Vagueness and precision in contracts: a close relationship

description: Oggetto di questo studio � il rapporto tra indeterminatezza linguistica e precisione nei testi giuridici (Endicott 2000, Bhatia et al. 2005, Cacciaguidi-Fahy / Wagner 2006). In particolare viene preso in considerazione come questi aspetti sono veicolati nei contratti, uno specifico tipo di testo giuridico molto comune e diffuso. Si analizza il rapporto tra vaghezza e precisione nei testi contrattuali, effettuando una breve analisi comparativa rispetto agli altri testi giuridici e si descrivono le strategie linguistiche attraverso le quali vengono veicolate indeterminatezza e vaghezza oppure precisione e chiarezza. Questi aspetti linguistici sono stati ampiamente studiati soprattutto nei testi legali caratterizzati da una vasta applicabilit�, quali leggi, regolamenti e statuti (Endicott 2000, Bhatia et al. 2005). Questa analisi si prefigge, invece, di osservare la complessit� del rapporto tra vaghezza e precisione in documenti che non possiedono tendenzialmente una tale generalit� nella loro applicazione, ma riguardano invece circostanze, finalit� e soggetti specifici. Dall?esame si osserva la coesistenza e l?interdipendenza degli elementi linguistici dell?indeterminatezza e della precisione linguistica nei contratti, nonostante questi ultimi non debbano rispondere espressamente alla necessit� di garantire la pi� generale applicabilit�.

description: We study vison excitations in a quantum dimer model interpolating between the Rokhsar-Kivelson models on the square and triangular lattices. In the square-lattice case, the model is known to be critical and characterized by U(1) topological quantum numbers. Introducing diagonal dimers brings the model to a Z_2 resonating-valence-bond phase. We study variationally the emergence of vison excitations at low concentration of diagonal dimers, close to the critical point. We find that, in this regime, vison excitations are large in size and their structure resembles vortices in type-II superconductors.

Not Another Teen Movie. Evoluzione di un genere commerciale tra exploitation e convergenza
Creators: name: GUERINI ROCCO, Stefano
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Bergamo
Year: 2018

description: Oggetto della ricerca � il genere teen movie in quanto prodotto dell?interazione tra pratiche di consumo e pratiche di produzione. Fin dalla sua origine, infatti, il teen movie si � imposto come prodotto d?elezione di un?industria dell?entertainment capace di legare spettacoli, media, consumi e costumi culturali a una dimensione pi� specificamente commerciale e industriale. In una dinamica che si consolida attraverso le politiche produttive sinergiche e integrate della cultura convergente, il teen movie si configura dunque come bene di consumo in una commodity culture nella quale alla teen audience e al teen market � riservata una nuova, inedita preminenza. In questa prospettiva, il caso studio di The Hunger Games si pone come punto di riferimento fondamentale per l?evoluzione del genere, confermandone la duplice attitudine alla conservazione e, insieme, alla trasformazione. O meglio, alla conservazione attraverso la trasformazione: in definitiva, alla sopravvivenza.

Bispectra from two-field inflation using the long-wavelength formalism

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We use the long-wavelength formalism to compute the bispectral non-Gaussianity produced in two-field inflation. We find an exact result that is used as the basis of numerical studies, and an explicit analytical slow-roll expression for several classes of potentials that gives insight into the origin and importance of the various contributions to fNL. We also discuss the momentum dependence of fNL. Based on these results we find a simple model that produces a relatively large non-Gaussianity. We show that the long-wavelength formalism is a viable alternative to the standard delta-N formalism, and can be preferable to it in certain situations.

Georg Kerschensteiner alle origini del sistema duale tedesco
Creators: name: BERTULETTI, Paolo
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Bergamo
Year: 2021

description: Georg Kerschensteiner, riformatore scolastico e pedagogista di Monaco vissuto a cavallo fra Ottocento e Novecento, � considerato il ?padre? del sistema duale tedesco, il modello di formazione professionale in apprendistato ancora oggi adottato in Germania.
Il libro ne ricostruisce l?opera, da un lato, per scoprire i fondamenti storici e concettuali del sistema duale ? negli ultimi anni divenuto benchmark internazionale ? e, dall?altro, per indagare le ragioni pedagogiche che spinsero il nostro autore a teorizzare la centralit� del lavoro nella formazione dei giovani.
Avvicinare il lettore italiano al pensiero di questo pedagogista, di cui nella nostra lingua � stata tradotta integralmente una sola opera, � utile per almeno due motivi. Primo, perch� diversi Paesi (Italia compresa) hanno cercato recentemente di imitare il sistema duale tedesco senza tuttavia considerare con la dovuta attenzione le sue radici storiche e le sue peculiarit� ? che pure non andrebbero ignorate, se di quel modello si vogliono importare i pregi. Secondo, perch� oggi da pi� parti si invoca la formazione professionale, e in particolare l?apprendistato, come antidoto alla piaga della disoccupazione giovanile e alla crisi generalizzata dell?istruzione, ma spesso manca una consapevolezza pedagogica adeguata circa il valore educativo del lavoro, con il rischio di limitarsi ad una celebrazione retorica del work-based learning o ? peggio ? di scivolare verso riduzionismi economicistici che tradiscono la vera finalit� dell?istruzione professionale.
L?auspicio � che la riscoperta delle riforme e del pensiero di Kerschensteiner ? autore abbastanza noto nel nostro Paese fino alle fine degli anni Sessanta, ma poi caduto in oblio ? possa favorire una miglior comprensione del valore pedagogico della formazione professionale e dell?apprendistato.

description: The software performance of cryptographic schemes is an important factor in the decision to include such a scheme in real-world protocols like TLS, SSH or IPsec. In this paper, we develop a benchmarking framework to perform software performance measurements on authenticated encryption schemes. In particular, we apply our framework to independently benchmark the 29 remaining 2ndnd round candidates of the CAESAR competition. Many of these candidates have multiple parameter choices, or deploy software optimised versions raising our total number of benchmarked implementations to 232. We illustrate our results in various diagrams and hope that our contribution helps developers to find an appropriate cipher in their selection choice.

Suppression of the low-temperature phase-separated state under pressure in (Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$)$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_{3}$ ($x=0,0.1$)

description: We have demonstrated the effect of pressure on the steplike metamagnetic transition and its associated magnetostriction in (Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$)$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_{3}$ ($x=0$ and 0.1). The critical field initiating the field induced ferromagnetic transition in both samples is lowered by the applied pressure. The further application of external pressure up to 1.2 GPa on the $x=0$ parent sample causes a spontaneous ferromagnetic transition with a second-oder like character, leading to collapses of the steplike transition and its concomitant lattice striction. These findings indicate a crucial role of the low-temperature phase separated state characterized by a suppressed magnetization upon decreasing temperature.

Environmental and genomic insights into marine virus populations and communities
Creators: name: Finke, Jan Felix
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Marine viruses are the most abundant and genetically diverse biological entity in the oceans. Viruses infecting phytoplankton have a role in maintaining phytoplankton diversity, but also affect the cycling of carbon and nutrients through the microbial loop, which has substantial implications for the marine food chain and the planet’s climate system. It has also become evident that viral replication is affected by environmental conditions. In turn, viruses appear to possess a repertoire of metabolic genes to compensate for environmental adversities. However, it is not well understood how environmental variables affect viral replication in the environment or what the role of their genetic repertoire is in the selection to replicate. This thesis investigates the abundance and genetic diversity of viruses, the composition of viral communities and how the dynamics of viral replication is affected by in situ environmental conditions in four projects which are presented in Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5. Chapter 2 describes the influence of environmental variables on the variation in viral and host abundance, and how this dynamic changes among different environments. Chapter 3 shows that phycodnaviruses infecting prasinophytes have a highly variable genetic repertoire with several metabolic genes of diverse origins. This genetic variability is reflected in their distribution in the environment, indicating selection on viruses. Chapter 4 establishes an approach to study cyanomyovirus communities and their associated genetic repertoires in the environment. It shows that the distribution of cyanomyovirus ecotypes on temporal and spatial scales is a function of environmental variables. Chapter 5 unveils a considerable mismatch between free cyanomyovirus communities, representing the seed bank, and replicating cyanomyoviruses in the cellular fraction. The emergence of replicating viruses out of the viral seed bank is highly variable and affected by environmental factors. In conclusion, total viral abundance as well as the community composition of specific virus types show a relationship to environmental variables. The genetic repertoire of viruses appears to be an adaptation to selection pressure and specific viruses can occupy environmental niches that are not only defined by the presence of susceptible hosts but also by a virus's ability to compensate for adversities.
