description: The structure and vibrational spectrum of Gd3N@C80 is studied through Raman and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) as well as density functional theory (DFT) and universal force field (UFF) calculations. Hindered rotations, shown by both theory and experiment, indicate the formation of a Gd3N-C80 bond which reduces the ideal icosahedral symmetry of the C80 cage. The vibrational modes involving the movement of the encapsulated species are a fingerprint of the interaction between the fullerene cage and the core complex. We present Raman data for the Gd3N@C2n (40 < n < 44) family as well as Y3N@C80, Lu3N@C80, and Y3N@C88 for comparison. Conductance measurements have been performed on Gd3N@C80 and reveal a Kondo effect similar to that observed in C60.

Complexity of PL-manifolds

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

description: We extend Matveev's complexity of 3-manifolds to PL compact manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and we study its properties. The complexity of a manifold is the minimum number of vertices in a simple spine. We study how this quantity changes under the most common topological operations (handle additions, finite coverings, drilling and surgery of spheres, products, connected sums) and its relations with some geometric invariants (Gromov norm, spherical volume, volume entropy, systolic constant). Complexity distinguishes some homotopically equivalent manifolds and is positive on all closed aspherical manifolds (in particular, on manifolds with non-positive sectional curvature). There are finitely many closed hyperbolic manifolds of any given complexity. On the other hand, there are many closed 4-manifolds of complexity zero (manifolds without 3-handles, doubles of 2-handlebodies, infinitely many exotic K3 surfaces, symplectic manifolds with arbitrary fundamental group).

description: Based on the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) and on the Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima (WTMM) methods we investigate the origin of multifractality in the time series. Series fluctuating according to a qGaussian distribution, both uncorrelated and correlated in time, are used. For the uncorrelated series at the border (q=5/3) between the Gaussian and the Levy basins of attraction asymptotically we find a phase-like transition between monofractal and bifractal characteristics. This indicates that these may solely be the specific nonlinear temporal correlations that organize the series into a genuine multifractal hierarchy. For analyzing various features of multifractality due to such correlations, we use the model series generated from the binomial cascade as well as empirical series. Then, within the temporal ranges of well developed power-law correlations we find a fast convergence in all multifractal measures. Besides of its practical significance this fact may reflect another manifestation of a conjectured q-generalized Central Limit Theorem.

description: The family of Vicsek fractals is one of the most important and frequently-studied regular fractal classes, and it is of considerable interest to understand the dynamical processes on this treelike fractal family. In this paper, we investigate discrete random walks on the Vicsek fractals, with the aim to obtain the exact solutions to the global mean first-passage time (GMFPT), defined as the average of first-passage time (FPT) between two nodes over the whole family of fractals. Based on the known connections between FPTs, effective resistance, and the eigenvalues of graph Laplacian, we determine implicitly the GMFPT of the Vicsek fractals, which is corroborated by numerical results. The obtained closed-form solution shows that the GMFPT approximately grows as a power-law function with system size (number of all nodes), with the exponent lies between 1 and 2. We then provide both the upper bound and lower bound for GMFPT of general trees, and show that leading behavior of the upper bound is the square of system size and the dominating scaling of the lower bound varies linearly with system size. We also show that the upper bound can be achieved in linear chains and the lower bound can be reached in star graphs. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of random walks on the Vicsek fractals and general treelike networks.

The search for Multiple Myeloma Stem cells: molecular characterization and self-renewal mechanisms involved in the disease persistence
Creators: name: Martello, Marina <1983>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: MED/15 Malattie del sangue

description: The existence of Multiple Myeloma Stem cells (MMSCs)is supposed to be one of the major causes of MM drug-resistance. However, very little is known about the molecular characteristics of MMSCs, even if some studies suggested that these cells resembles the memory B cells.

In order to molecularly characterize MMSCs, we isolated the 138+138- population. For each cell fraction we performed a VDJ rearrangement analysis. The complete set of aberrations were performed by SNP Array 6.0 and HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarray analyses (Affymetrix).

The VDJ rearrangement analyses confirmed the clonal relationship between the 138+ clone and the immature clone. 
Both BM and PBL 138+ clones showed exactly the same genomic macroalterations. In the BM and PBL 138-19+27+ cell fractions several micro-alterations (range: 1-350 Kb) unique of the memory B cells clone were highlighted. Any micro-alterations detected were located out of any genomic variants region and are presumably associated to the MM pathogenesis, as confirmed by the presence of KRAS, WWOX and XIAP genes among the amplified regions. 
To get insight into the biology of the clonotypic B cell population, we compared the gene expression profile of 8 MM B cells samples 5 donor B cells vs, thus showing  a differential expression of 11480 probes (p-value: <0,05). Among the self-renewal mechanisms, we observed the down-regulation of Hedgehog pathway and the iperactivation of Notch and Wnt signaling. Moreover, these immature cells showed a particular phenotype correlated to resistance to proteasome inhibitors (IRE1α-XBP1: -18.0; -19.96. P<0,05).

Data suggested that the MM 138+ clone might resume the end of the complex process of myelomagenesis, whereas the memory B cells have some intriguing micro-alterations and a specific transcriptional program, supporting the idea that these post germinal center cells might be involved in the transforming event that originate and sustain the neoplastic clone.
Musculoskeletal tissue regeneration by human non-embryonic stem cells

Year: 2014
Subjects: BIO/17 Istologia

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the regenerative potential of alternative sources of stem cells, derived from human dental pulp (hDPSCs) and amniotic fluid (hAFSCs) and, specifically, to evaluate their capability to be committed towards osteogenic and myogenic lineages, for the eventual applicability of these stem cells to translational strategies in regenerative medicine of bone and skeletal muscle tissues. 
The in vitro bone production by stem cells may represent a radical breakthrough in the treatment of pathologies and traumas characterized by critical bone mass defects, with no medical or surgical solution. 
Human DPSCs and AFSCs were seeded and pre-differentiated on different scaffolds to test their capability to subsequently reach the osteogenic differentiation in vivo, in order to recover critical size bone defects. Fibroin scaffold resulted to be the best scaffold promoting mature bone formation and defect correction when combined to both hDPSCs and hAFSCs.
This study also described a culture condition that might allow human DPSCs to be used for human cell therapy in compliance with good manufacturing practices (GMPs): the use of human serum (HS) promoted the expansion and the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro and, furthermore, allowed pre-differentiated hDPSCs to regenerate critical size bone defects in vivo.
This thesis also showed that hDPSCs and hAFSCs can be differentiated towards the myogenic lineage in vitro, either when co-cultured with murine myoblasts and when differentiated alone after DNA demethylation treatment. Interestingly, when injected into dystrophic muscles of SCID/mdx mice - animal model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) - hDPSCs and hAFSCs pre-differentiated after demethylating treatment were able to regenerate the skeletal muscle tissue and, particularly, to restore dystrophin expression. These observations suggest that human DPSCs and AFSCs might be eventually applied to translational strategies, in order to enhance the repair of injured skeletal muscles in DMD patients.

description: We present high-speed optical photometry from SAAO and SALT on the black hole LMXB \MAXI (ASSASN-18ey), some of it simultaneous with NICER, Swift and Insight-HXMT X-ray coverage. We detect optical Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) that move to higher frequencies as the outburst progresses, tracking both the frequency and evolution of similar X-ray QPOs previously reported. Correlated X-ray/optical data reveal a complex pattern of lags, including an anti-correlation and a sub-second lag that evolve over the first few weeks of outburst. They also show correlated components separated by a lag equal to the QPO period roughly centered on zero lag, implying that the inter-band variability is strongly and consistently affected by these QPOs at a constant phase lag of roughly +/- pi. The synchronisation of X-ray and optical QPOs indicates that they must be produced in regions physically very close to each other; we thus propose that they can be explained by a precessing jet model, based on analogies with V404 Cyg and MAXI J1348-630.

description: Automation and robotisation of the agricultural sector are seen as a viable solution to socio-economic challenges faced by this industry. This technology often relies on intelligent perception systems providing information about crops, plants and the entire environment. The challenges faced by traditional 2D vision systems can be addressed by modern 3D vision systems which enable straightforward localisation of objects, size and shape estimation, or handling of occlusions. So far, the use of 3D sensing was mainly limited to indoor or structured environments. In this paper, we evaluate modern sensing technologies including stereo and time-of-flight cameras for 3D perception of shape in agriculture and study their usability for segmenting out soft fruit from background based on their shape. To that end, we propose a novel 3D deep neural network which exploits the organised nature of information originating from the camera-based 3D sensors. We demonstrate the superior performance and efficiency of the proposed architecture compared to the state-of-the-art 3D networks. Through a simulated study, we also show the potential of the 3D sensing paradigm for object segmentation in agriculture and provide insights and analysis of what shape quality is needed and expected for further analysis of crops. The results of this work should encourage researchers and companies to develop more accurate and robust 3D sensing technologies to assure their wider adoption in practical agricultural applications.

The Alexandria quartet : love as metaphysical enquiry
Creators: name: Johnston, Elizabeth Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is based on a conviction that Lawrence Durrell's The Alexandria Quartet is a metaphysical romance in a truly modern sense; a parable which uses the terminology of modern psychology and romantic love to describe a search for gnosis, or self-knowledge. The characters are prototypes whose enemies are the warring forces within the psyche: the romantic imagination, which manufactures the Illusions of love, and the intellectual examination which may destroy the illusion, but leaves nothing in its place. Durrell shows that his prototype characters must learn to value the naked experience of an emotional moment with a balanced spontaneity of perception divorced from the extremes of both the romantic imagination and the intellect. The first chapter describes the psychological equilibrium which Durrell calls "the heraldic universe," which is concretized by statements from The Black Book, excerpts from Durrell's poems and allusions (from The Alexandria Quartet) to C. P. Cavafy, D. H. Lawrence and C. G. Jung. The final paragraphs deal with the dual approach to character and the corresponding polarities of the landscape of Alexandria. The second chapter concentrates on Durrell's use of the novel for therapeutic enquiry, as a means of looking at the dark side of the psyche. The chapter explains the relation of the Quartet to moral allegory as well as its concern with the dualism of instinct and ideal, reason and passion, which Aldous Huxley and Wyndham Lewis describe in a more expository style. The third chapter contrasts the destructive will-to-power and the passion of political conspirators with the creative will of the poet and artist, the seeker after self-identity. The final paragraphs deal with images of madness and psychic disintegration resulting from obsessional love. The fourth chapter discusses the major characters in relation to the life of their imaginations. In the case of the writers in the Quartet, the literary imagination distorts perceptions of love and experience. Pursewarden, the central artistic figure, is viewed in relation to the other prototypes who make a "story" out of their lives. The final chapter attempts to show that Clea is a culmination of a psychological battle within the characters, an active drama instead of a reflection upon emotional experience. Love becomes depersonalized, a force which exists apart from the egotism of personality.
On Gravitational Waves in Spacetimes with a Nonvanishing Cosmological Constant

description: We study the effect of a cosmological constant $Λ$ on the propagation and detection of gravitational waves. To this purpose we investigate the linearised Einstein's equations with terms up to linear order in $Λ$ in a de Sitter and an anti-de Sitter background spacetime. In this framework the cosmological term does not induce changes in the polarization states of the waves, whereas the amplitude gets modified with terms depending on $Λ$. Moreover, if a source emits a periodic waveform, its periodicity as measured by a distant observer gets modified. These effects are, however, extremely tiny and thus well below the detectability by some twenty orders of magnitude within present gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO or future planned ones such as LISA.

description: Apple production in neotropical climate is affected by sunburn and the high interannual variability in meteorological conditions makes prediction and management of damage difficult. Non-destructive methods associated with physiological variables are keys to monitoring but their development is still incipient. In our study occurrence of sunburn, meteorological conditions and physiological parameters was monitored throughout four crop cycles. Fruit visual assessment and reflectance measures in field, as well as, pigments, proline and hydric potential in laboratory, were accomplished. The results show that the availability of water in the soil was more related to the evolution of sunburn than air temperature. Plant Senescence Reflectance Index (non-destructive predictor) discriminated between healthy and damaged fruits and fruit hydric potential and proline content were good indicators of sunburn, although such variables are determined when damage has already occurred. Our results suggest focusing future research on the water balance of the system and on the physiological indicators of osmotic stress as a way to predict damage.

Bispectrum covariance in the flat-sky limit

description: To probe cosmological fields beyond the Gaussian level, three-point statistics can be used, all of which are related to the bispectrum. Hence, measurements of CMB anisotropies, galaxy clustering, and weak gravitational lensing alike have to rely upon an accurate theoretical background concerning the bispectrum and its noise properties. If only small portions of the sky are considered, it is often desirable to perform the analysis in the flat-sky limit. We aim at a formal, detailed derivation of the bispectrum covariance in the flat-sky approximation, focusing on a pure two-dimensional Fourier-plane approach. We define an unbiased estimator of the bispectrum, which takes the average over the overlap of annuli in Fourier space, and compute its full covariance. The outcome of our formalism is compared to the flat-sky spherical harmonic approximation in terms of the covariance, the behavior under parity transformations, and the information content. We introduce a geometrical interpretation of the averaging process in the estimator, thus providing an intuitive understanding. Contrary to foregoing work, we find a difference by a factor of two between the covariances of the Fourier-plane and the spherical harmonic approach. We argue that this discrepancy can be explained by the differing behavior with respect to parity. However, in an exemplary analysis it is demonstrated that the Fisher information of both formalisms agrees to high accuracy. Via the geometrical interpretation we are able to link the normalization in the bispectrum estimator to the area enclosed by the triangle configuration at consideration as well as to the Wigner symbol, which leads to convenient approximation formulae for the covariances of both approaches.

description: We investigate the effects of quenched bond randomness on the critical properties of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model embedded in a triangular lattice. The system is studied in both the pure and disordered versions by the same efficient two-stage Wang-Landau method. In the first part of our study we present the finite-size scaling behavior of the pure model, for which we calculate the critical amplitude of the specific heat's logarithmic expansion. For the disordered system, the numerical data and the relevant detailed finite-size scaling analysis along the lines of the two well-known scenarios - logarithmic corrections versus weak universality - strongly support the field-theoretically predicted scenario of logarithmic corrections. A particular interest is paid to the sample-to-sample fluctuations of the random model and their scaling behavior that are used as a successful alternative approach to criticality.

Vigevano Schoolteacher: a translation of Lucio Mastronardi’s Il Maestro di Vigevano
Creators: name: Schultz, Anneliese
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The North America-patterned economic boom had barely-taken hold in Italy when, in 1962, the first cry of rebellion was heard from the literary world. The blurbs to Lucio Mastronardi's Vigevano Schoolteacher read:"one of the angriest stories to stem from the years of the economic miracle", "a fierce caricature of a world which has become hurried, indifferent, ruthless in its feverish pursuit of Well-being", "the dramatic failure of petit-bourgeois decorum." A film version, directed by Elio Petri and starring Alberto Sordi, followed immediately. As did lawsuits, brought by those whose decorum had not succeeded in withstanding the bitter caricature. The novel, tragi-comic but ultimately tragic parabola to a petty doom, held - like its author - little hope. This hopelessness - of Mastronardi's, of schoolteacher Mombelli's, of industrial-era Man - I have seen as dispossession. In the first part of my critical introduction to the translation of Vigevano Schoolteacher, I have considered the innumerable essentials of which Antonio Mombelli, elementary teacher at his fourth pay increase of point total 271, has been systematically dispossessed. Disfranchised -by a constantly changing society- of pride, he is an educator who knows there is no room for learning, a modern man unaffiliated with the present time. Eyewitness to the construction of a power plant on the spot where Hannibal defeated the Romans, to the hallucinatory transformation of woman from Eve into Delilah, he is a middle-aged man who realizes there is no time for the past. Returning, humiliated, to the point of departure, he is an ex-father cured of the tendency to hope. Mombelli, then, is dispossessed not only of past, present and future, but of a calling, of pride (or 'tar*, as Mastronardi terms it; a man's almost amusing but vital concept of Twentieth Century saving-face), of hope; even, perhaps, of control over his own mind. The second part of the introduction addresses itself of necessity to Mombelli's reactions to his dispossession. I have considered first his initial attempts to fit in -as colleague, as Principe Bar hanger-on, as even small-time industrialist; then his subsequent forms of escapism - the fantasies and numbed despair; and finally his efforts at creating order - habits as holding off the holocaust. The parallel then is clear. What have ultimately to be discussed are Mastronardi's linguistic equivalents to the life-responses of his character. To the schoolteacher's attempts at fitting in correspond the author's tries at various formulas of speech (bureaucratic, learned, journalistic, dialectal). To fantasies correspond linguistic experimentation and even outright invention. To Antonio Mombelli's two-decade-long habits, to his sentence to do first resigned, then ever more untenable, increasingly surrealistic, and finally irreparable Time corresponds Lucio Mastronardi's parabola. From the vise-like chaos of dispossession, through a writer and novel, emerges -anguished - order.

description: This study aimed to explore diversity in dwarﬁng tendencies, determine the correlation of measured traits with dwarﬁng, and identify and select promising dwarf candidates as potential scions or rootstock cultivars. Growth habit, vegetative attributes, fruit physicochemical characteristics,and leaf stomatal densityof 19 Iranian pomegranate cultivars, which have been collected across the country and established in the Yazd pomegranate germplasm, were assessed. Results showed that the cultivars diﬀered in almost all measuredtraits. The tree height and canopy width, current year’s shoot, and internode length were within the range of 1.97­4.6 m, 1.53­4 m, 15­41.5 cm 1.96­3.39 cm, respectively. Moreover, a positive correlation was observed between tree height and internode length (r= 0.55), whereas a negative correlation was obtained between stomatal density and tree height (r= ­0.44). Based on characteristics measured for the vegetative growth, ‘Malas No. 1 Saravan’ and ‘Torosh Nar Riz Zirab’ proved dwarﬁng habit. ‘Rabab Poost Ghermez Neyriz’,a commercial cultivar, showed semi­dwarﬁng growth and ‘Khajei Ghasrodasht Fars’, ‘Shahsavar Seydan Marvdasht’, ‘Bihaste Ravar’, ‘Bihaste Sangan Khash’, ‘Torosh Goli Naz Behshahr’ and ‘Anar Siah’ resulted in vigorous trees. This preliminary study found promising dwarf and semi­dwarf genotypes at Iran’s pomegranate germplasm.

description: A scheme of evaluating an impact of a given scientific paper based on importance of papers quoting it is investigated. Introducing a weight of a given citation, dependent on the previous scientific achievements of the author of the citing paper, we define the weighting factor of a given scientist. Technically the weighting factors are defined by the components of the normalized leading eigenvector of the matrix describing the citation graph. The weighting factor of a given scientist, reflecting the scientific output of other researchers quoting his work, allows us to define weighted number of citation of a given paper, weighted impact factor of a journal and weighted Hirsch index of an individual scientist or of an entire scientific institution.

description: In this work, we consider the motion of a polaron in a polynucleotide Holstein molecular chain in a constant electric field. It is shown that the character of the polaron motion in the chain depends not only on the chosen parameters of the chain, but also on the initial distribution of the charge along the chain. It is shown that for a small set value of the electric field intensity and for fixed values of the chain parameters, changing only the initial distribution of the charge in the chain, it is possible to observe either a uniform movement of the charge along the chain, or an oscillatory mode of charge movement.

description: We study spontaneous emission of an atom near a nanofiber with two fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) mirrors. We show that the coupling between the atom and the guided modes of the nanofiber can be significantly enhanced by the FBG cavity even when the cavity finesse is moderate. We find that, when the fiber radius is 200 nm and the cavity finesse is about 30, up to 94% of spontaneous emission from the atom can be channeled into the guided modes in the overdamped-cavity regime. We show numerically and analytically that vacuum Rabi oscillations and strong coupling can occur in the FBG cavity even when the cavity finesse is moderate (about 30) and the cavity length is large (on the order of 10 cm to 1 m), unlike the case of planar and curved Fabry-Perot cavities.

description: Cucumber phyllody symptoms were observed in greenhouse cucumber plants during 2014­2018 in all surveyed areas of central and west of Iran where the highest disease incidence was up to 82% in Taft (Yazd province). Symptoms exhibited by diseased plants were virescence, phyllody and sterility of the ﬂowers. For veriﬁcation of phytoplasma presence and identity, total DNAs were extracted from 44 symptomatic and six asymptomatic plants that were subjected to PCR amplifying 16S rRNA genes of phytoplasmas. PCR amplicons of the expected size were obtained only from the symptomatic plants. RFLP analysis of R16F2n/R2 amplicons showed patterns identical to those of the clover proliferation (16SrVI) and “stolbur” (16SrXII) phytoplasma groups. Consensus sequences corresponding to phytoplasma strains from the two localities Taft and Shahrekord showed 99% identity with phytoplasmas enclosed in groups 16SrVI and 16SrXII, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis conﬁrmed that these phytoplasmas cluster with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii’ and ‘Ca. P. solani’, respectively. Virtual RFLP provided proﬁles identical to the patterns of 16SrXII­A and 16SrVI­A phytoplasma subgroups. These phytoplasma subgroups were previously reported in diﬀerent plant species growing near to the greenhouse cucumber areas in Iran, and play a possible role in the epidemiology of disease for its dissemination.

description: We study the phenomenology of a $U_X(1)$ extension of the Standard Model where the SM particles are not charged under the new abelian group. The Green-Schwarz mechanism insures that the model is anomaly free. The erstwhile invisible dark gauge field $X$, even if produced with difficulty at the LHC has however a clear signature in gamma-ray telescopes. We investigate what BSM scale (which can be interpreted as a low-energy string scale) would be reachable by the FERMI/GLAST telescope after 5 years of running and show that a 2 TeV scale can be testable, which is highly competitive with the LHC.

description: Cosmic gas makes up about 90% of baryonic matter in the Universe and H$_2$ is the closest molecule to star formation. In this work we study cold neutral gas and its H$_2$ component at different epochs, exploiting state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations that include time-dependent atomic and molecular non-equilibrium chemistry coupled to star formation, feedback effects, different UV backgrounds presented in the recent literature and a number of additional processes - such as gas self-shielding, H$_2$ dust grain catalysis, photoelectric and cosmic-ray heating - occurring during structure formation (ColdSIM). We find neutral-gas mass density parameters $ Ω_{\rm neutral} \simeq $10$^{-3}$ and increasing from lower to higher redshift, in agreement with available HI data. Resulting H$_2$ fractions can be as high as $\sim $50% at $z\sim $4-8, in line with the latest high-$z$ measurements. Albeit dependent on the adopted UV background, derived $ Ω_{\rm H_2} $ values agree with observations up to $z\sim$7 and both HI and H$_2$ trends are better reproduced by our non-equilibrium H$_2$-based star formation modelling. The predicted gas depletion timescales decrease towards lower $z$, with H$_2$ depletion times remaining below the Hubble time and comparable to the dynamical time at all considered redshifts. This implies that non-equilibrium molecular cooling is efficient at driving cold-gas collapse in a broad variety of environments and since the very early cosmic epochs. In appendix, we show detailed analyses of individual processes, as well as simple numerical parameterizations and fits to account for them. Our findings suggest that, in addition to HI, non-equilibrium H$_2$ observations are pivotal probes for assessing cold-gas abundances and the role of UV background radiation - Abridged

Single Transverse Spin Asymmetries at Parton Level

description: Two factorization approaches have been proposed for single transverse spin asymmetries. One is the collinear factorization, another is the transverse-momentum-dependent factorization. They have been previously derived in a formal way by using diagram expansion at hadron level. If the two factorizations hold or can be proven, they should also hold when we replace hadrons with parton states. We examine these two factorizations at parton level with massless partons. It is nontrivial to generate these asymmetries at parton level with massless partons because the asymmetries require helicity-flip and nonzero absorptive parts in scattering amplitudes. By constructing suitable parton states with massless partons we derive the two factorizations for the asymmetry in Drell-Yan processes. It is found from our results that the collinear factorization derived at parton level is not the same as that derived at hadron level. Our results with massless partons confirm those derived with single massive parton state in our previous works.

description: The rising demand for EVs, motivated by their environmental benefits, is generating increased need for EV charging infrastructure. Also, it has been recognized that the adequacy of such infrastructure helps promote EV use. Therefore, to facilitate EV adoption, governments seek guidance on continued investments in EV charging infrastructure development. The high cost of these investments motivates governments to seek optimal decisions on EV-related investments including EV charging infrastructure, and such decisions include locations, capacities, and deployment scheduling of such infrastructure. Additionally, uncertainties in travel demand prediction and EV driving range constraints need to be considered in EV infrastructure investment planning. To help address these questions, this thesis developed a framework to establish optimal schedules and locations for new charging stations and for decommissioning gasoline refueling stations for any given network over a long-term planning horizon, considering uncertainties in travel demand forecasts and EV driving-range heterogeneity. To address the uncertainties, the proposed framework is formulated as a robust mathematical model that minimizes the worst-case total system travel cost and the total penalty for unused charging station capacity. This study uses an adaption of the cutting-plane method to solve the proposed model. In the numerical analyses, the performance of the robust framework and its deterministic counterpart are compared. The results show that the optimal robust plan outperforms the deterministic plan by yielding savings in the costs of travel and electricity charging. The thesis also investigates the effects of investment budget levels of robust planning. The numerical results throw light on the relationships between higher investment levels and electric charging station deployment levels and consequently, the savings in travel costs and impacts on unused charging capacity. The outcomes of this thesis can help road agencies and related private sector entities enhance preparations towards infrastructure investments to support electric charging stations in an efficient manner.
