description: We present the results from our time-series imaging data taken with the 1.3m Devasthal fast optical telescope and 0.81m Tenagara telescope in $V$, $R_{c}$, $I_{c}$ bands covering an area of $\sim18^\prime.4\times 18^\prime.4$ towards the star-forming region Sh 2-190. This photometric data helped us to explore the nature of the variability of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. We have identified 85 PMS variables, i.e., 37 Class II and 48 Class III sources. Forty-five of the PMS variables are showing periodicity in their light curves. We show that the stars with thicker discs and envelopes rotate slower and exhibit larger photometric variations compared to their disc-less counterparts. This result suggests that rotation of the PMS stars is regulated by the presence of circumstellar discs. We also found that the period of the stars show a decreasing trend with increasing mass in the range of $\sim$0.5-2.5 M$_\odot$. Our result indicates that most of the variability in Class II sources is ascribed to the presence of thick disc, while the presence of cool spots on the stellar surface causes the brightness variation in Class III sources. X-ray activities in the PMS stars were found to be at the saturation level reported for the main sequence (MS) stars. The younger counterparts of the PMS variables are showing less X-ray activity hinting towards a less significant role of a stellar disc in X-ray generation.

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study effects of winds on the time evolution of isothermal, self-gravitating accretion discs by adopting a radius dependent mass loss rate because of the existence of the wind. Our similarity and semi-analytical solution describes time evolution of the system in the slow accretion limit. The disc structure is distinct in the inner and outer parts, irrespective of the existence of the wind. We show that existence of wind will lead to a reduction of the surface density in the inner and outer parts of the disc in comparison to a no-wind solution. Also, the radial velocity significantly increases in the outer part of the disc, however, the accretion rate decreases due to the reduced surface density in comparison to the no-wind solution. In the inner part of the disc, mass loss due to the wind is negligible according to our solution. But the radial size of this no-wind inner region becomes smaller for stronger winds.

Applicability of Process Mining Techniques in Business Environments

description: This thesis analyses problems related to the applicability, in business environments, of Process Mining tools and techniques.

The first contribution is a presentation of the state of the art of Process Mining and a characterization of companies, in terms of their "process awareness". The work continues identifying circumstance where problems can emerge: data preparation; actual mining; and results interpretation. Other problems are the configuration of parameters by not-expert users and computational complexity.

We concentrate on two possible scenarios: "batch" and "on-line" Process Mining.

Concerning the batch Process Mining, we first investigated the data preparation problem and we proposed a solution for the identification of the "case-ids" whenever this field is not explicitly indicated.
After that, we concentrated on problems at mining time and we propose the generalization of a well-known control-flow discovery algorithm in order to exploit non instantaneous events. The usage of interval-based recording leads to an important improvement of performance.
Later on, we report our work on the parameters configuration for not-expert users. We present two approaches to select the "best" parameters configuration: one is completely autonomous; the other requires human interaction to navigate a hierarchy of candidate models.
Concerning the data interpretation and results evaluation, we propose two metrics: a model-to-model and a model-to-log. Finally, we present an automatic approach for the extension of a control-flow model with social information, in order to simplify the analysis of these perspectives.

The second part of this thesis deals with control-flow discovery algorithms in on-line settings. We propose a formal definition of the problem, and two baseline approaches. The actual mining algorithms proposed are two: the first is the adaptation, to the control-flow discovery problem, of a frequency counting algorithm; the second constitutes a framework of models which can be used for different kinds of streams (stationary versus evolving).

Adipose-derived stem cells and tissue revascularization: enhancing islet survival and performance for diabetes care.

description: Pancreatic islet transplantation represents a fascinating procedure that, at the moment, can be considered as alternative to standard insulin treatment or pancreas transplantation only for selected categories of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Among the factors responsible for leading to poor islet engraftment, hypoxia plays an important role. 
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were recently used in animal models of islet transplantation not only to reduce allograft rejection, but also to promote revascularization. Currently adipose tissue represents a novel and good source of MSCs. Moreover, the capability of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) to improve islet graft revascularization was recently reported after hybrid transplantation in mice. 
Within this context, we have previously shown that hyaluronan esters of butyric and retinoic acids can significantly enhance the rescuing potential of human MSCs. Here we evaluated whether ex vivo preconditioning of human ASCs (hASCs) with a mixture of hyaluronic (HA), butyric (BU), and retinoic (RA) acids may result in optimization of graft revascularization after islet/stem cell intrahepatic cotransplantation in syngeneic diabetic rats. We demonstrated that hASCs exposed to the mixture of molecules are able to increase the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as well as the transcription of angiogenic genes, including VEGF, KDR (kinase insert domain receptor), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Rats transplanted with islets cocultured with preconditioned hASCs exhibited a better glycemic control than rats transplanted with an equal volume of islets and control hASCs. Cotransplantation with preconditioned hASCs was also associated with enhanced islet revascularization in vivo, as highlighted by graft morphological analysis. The observed increase in islet graft revascularization and function suggests that our method of stem cell preconditioning may represent a novel strategy to remarkably improve the efficacy of islets-hMSCs cotransplantation.

description: Abnormal Hedgehog signaling is associated with human malignancies. Smo, a key player of that signaling, is the most suitable target to inhibit this pathway. To this aim several molecules, antagonists of Smo, have been synthesized, and some of them have started the phase I in clinical trials.
 Our hospital participated to one of these studies which investigated the oral administration of a new selective inhibitor of Smo (SMOi). 
To evaluate ex vivo SMOi efficacy and to identify new potential clinical biomarkers of responsiveness, we separated bone marrow CD34+ cells from 5 acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 1 myelofibrosis (MF), 2 blastic phases chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with SMOi by immunomagnetic separation, and we analysed their gene expression profile using Affimetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 platform. This analysis, showed differential expression after 28 days start of therapy (p-value ≤ 0.05) of 1,197 genes in CML patients and 589 genes in AML patients. This differential expression is related to Hedgehog pathway with a p-value = 0.003 in CML patients and with a p-value = 0.0002 in AML patients, suggesting that SMOi targets specifically this pathway. 
Among the genes differentially expressed we observed strong up-regulation of Gas1 and Kif27 genes, which may work as biomarkers of responsiveness of SMOi treatment in CML CD34+ cells whereas Hedgehog target genes (such as Smo, Gli1, Gli2, Gli3), Bcl2 and  Abca2  were down-regulated, in both AML and CML CD34+ cells. 
It has been reported that Bcl-2 expression could be correlated with cancer therapy resistance and that Hedgehog signaling modulate ATP-binding (ABC) cassette transporters, whose expression has been correlated with chemoresistance.
Moreover we confirmed that in vitro SMOi treatment targets Hedgehog pathway, down-regulate ABC transporters, Abcg2 and Abcb1 genes, and  in combination with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) could revert the chemoresistance mechanism in K562 TKIs-resistant cell line.

description: Social networks are one of the “hot” themes in people’s life and contemporary social research. Considering our “embeddedness” in a thick web of social relations is a study perspective that could unveil a number of explanations of how people may manage their personal and social resources. Looking at people’s behaviors of building and managing their social networks, seems to be an effective way to find some possible rationalization about how to help people getting the best from their resources . The main aim of this dissertation is to give a closer look at the role of networking behaviors. Antecedents, motivations, different steps and measures about networking behaviors and outcomes are analyzed and discussed. Results seem to confirm, in a different setting and time perspective, that networking behaviors include different types and goals that change over time. Effects of networking behaviors seem to find empirical confirmation through social network analysis methods. Both personality and situational self-efficacy seem to predict networking behaviors. Different types of motivational drivers seem to be related to diverse networking behaviors.

description: This habilitation thesis summarises the postdoctoral scientific work of the author in the following areas: mappings between the sphere and planar surfaces, simulation of time-of-flight sensors, and complementary work and related topics. The overarching topic of this work is the interactive aspect of Computer Graphics: the ultimate goal is to enable interactive visual analysis, simulate dynamic scenes in an interactive fashion so that motion is handled appropriately, reconstruct 3D environments with interactive sensor handling, or render stereoscopic contents with the goal of immersion. All of these use cases impose hard constraints on the computing time available to produce or to process each frame of information, and therefore require careful design of data structures and algorithms that make efficient use of dedicated computing resources such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

description: Developing consistently well performing visual recognition applications based on convolutional neural networks, e.g. for autonomous driving, is very challenging. One of the obstacles during the development is the opaqueness of their cognitive behaviour. A considerable amount of literature has been published which describes irrational behaviour of trained CNNs showcasing gaps in their cognition. In this paper, a methodology is presented that creates worstcase images using image augmentation techniques. If the CNN's cognitive performance on such images is weak while the augmentation techniques are supposedly harmless, a potential gap in the cognition has been found. The presented worst-case image generator is using adversarial search approaches to efficiently identify the most challenging image. This is evaluated with the well-known AlexNet CNN using images depicting a typical driving scenario.

description: In large scale maps of the Galactic disc, the Carina Arm stands out as a clear spiral feature, hosting prominent star clusters and associations rich in massive stars. We study the proper motions of 4199 O and early B most likely in the far Carina Arm, at distances mainly in excess of 4 kpc from the Sun, within the sky region, $282^{\circ} < \ell < 294^{\circ}$ and $-3^{\circ} < b < +1^{\circ}$ (Galactic coordinates). The sample is constructed by extending an existing blue-selected catalogue, and cross-matching with Gaia EDR3 astrometry. The observed pattern of proper motions is modulated into a saw-tooth pattern, with full amplitude approaching 1 mas yr$^{-1}$, recurring roughly every 2--3 degrees of longitude (200--300 pc at the median OB-star distance of 5.8 kpc). Kinematic perturbation of underlying circular rotation is most likely present. The data also reveal a moving group containing $>50$ OB stars at $\ell \sim 286^{\circ}$, $b \sim -1^{\circ}.4$ behind the main run of the far arm. An analysis of relative proper motions is performed that yields an incidence of runaway O stars of at least 10\% (potentially $>20$\% when full space motions become available). To map where runaways have run away from, we set up simulations for the region that assume linear trajectories and test for trajectory impact parameter in order to identify likely ejection hot spots. We find the method currently gives good results for times of flight of up to $\sim$4 Myr. It shows convincingly that only NGC 3603 and Westerlund 2 have ejected OB stars in significant numbers. Indeed, both clusters have experienced intense spells of ejection between 0.6--0.9 and 0.5--0.8 Myr ago, respectively.

description: The proposed sPHENIX detector at RHIC is being designed to study with unprecedented precision the nature of the Quark Gluon Plasma, or QGP, at RHIC through measurement of jets, jet correlations, and Y particles. To reach the goal of producing a high mass-resolution reconstruction of the Y(nS) states, a compact TPC covering pseudorapidities < |1.1| is under construction to provide sPHENIX with the necessary invariant mass resolution. Similar to the ALICE-TPC upgrade, the sPHENIX TPC design presently utilizes quadruple- GEM detectors. Utilizing novel zigzag patterned readout pads, a modified SAMPA readout chip, and an optimized Ne-CF4 gas mixture immersed in a 1.4 T magnetic field to reduce ion backflow, sPHENIX will have a unique lens into the QGP. The motivation behind the design and innovations of the TPC will be presented, along with the current status of the project.

Sono  state redatte le mappe di vulnerabilità dell’acquifero della conoide del Reno utilizzando i metodi parametrici SINTACS (Civita e De Maio, 1997) e DRASTIC (Aller et al., 1987). E' stato elaborato un modello tridimensionale del flusso tramite l'utilizzo del software di modellistica numerica FEFLOW. I risultati ottenuti sono stati confrontati con le mappe derivanti dall'appllicazione dei PCSM. E’ stato, inoltre, approfondito lo sviluppo di un modello inverso, che, partendo dalla distruzione del carico piezometrico, fornisce la distribuzione della conducibilità idraulica dell’acquifero.La conoscenza di questo parametro è, infatti, il punto di partenza per lo sviluppo di un nuovo metodo per la definizione della vulnerabilità basato sulla caratterizzazione dell'area di acquifero potenzialmente inquinabile rispetto ad uno sversamento in superficie di un inquinante.L’indice di vulnerabilità viene definito sulla lunghezza del cammino che un inquinante percorrere nell’arco di un anno.

description: MFA and LCA methodologies were applied to analyse the anthropogenic aluminium cycle in Italy with focus on historical evolution of stocks and flows of the metal, embodied GHG emissions, and potentials from recycling to provide key features to Italy for prioritizing industrial policy toward low-carbon technologies and materials.
Historical trend series were collected from 1947 to 2009 and balanced with data from production, manufacturing and waste management of aluminium-containing products, using a ‘top-down’ approach to quantify the contemporary in-use stock of the metal, and helping to identify ‘applications where aluminium is not yet being recycled to its full potential and to identify present and future recycling flows’. The MFA results were used as a basis for the LCA aimed at evaluating the carbon footprint evolution, from primary and electrical energy, the smelting process and the transportation, embodied in the Italian aluminium. A discussion about how the main factors, according to the Kaya Identity equation, they did influence the Italian GHG emissions pattern over time, and which are the levers to mitigate it, it has been also reported.
The contemporary anthropogenic reservoirs of aluminium was estimated at about 320 kg per capita, mainly embedded within the transportation and building and construction sectors. Cumulative in-use stock represents approximately 11 years of supply at current usage rates (about 20 Mt versus 1.7 Mt/year), and it would imply a potential of about 160 Mt of CO2eq emissions savings. A discussion of criticality related to aluminium waste recovery from the transportation and the containers and packaging sectors was also included in the study, providing an example for how MFA and LCA may support decision-making at sectorial or regional level. The research constitutes the first attempt of an integrated approach between MFA and LCA applied to the aluminium cycle in Italy.

description: Constructing ontology networks typically occurs at design time at the hands of knowledge engineers who assemble their components statically. There are, however, use cases where ontology networks need to be assembled upon request and processed at runtime, without altering the stored ontologies and without tampering with one another. These are what we call "virtual [ontology] networks", and keeping track of how an ontology changes in each virtual network is called "multiplexing".

Issues may arise from the connectivity of ontology networks. In many cases, simple flat import schemes will not work, because many ontology managers can cause property assertions to be erroneously interpreted as annotations and ignored by reasoners. Also, multiple virtual networks should optimize their cumulative memory footprint, and where they cannot, this should occur for very limited periods of time. We claim that these problems should be handled by the software that serves these ontology networks, rather than by ontology engineering methodologies.

We propose a method that spreads multiple virtual networks across a 3-tier structure, and can reduce the amount of erroneously interpreted axioms, under certain raw statement distributions across the ontologies. We assumed OWL as the core language handled by semantic applications in the framework at hand, due to the greater availability of reasoners and rule engines. We also verified that, in common OWL ontology management software, OWL axiom interpretation occurs in the worst case scenario of pre-order visit.

To measure the effectiveness and space-efficiency of our solution, a Java and RESTful implementation was produced within an Apache project. We verified that a 3-tier structure can accommodate reasonably complex ontology networks better, in terms of the expressivity OWL axiom interpretation, than flat-tree import schemes can. We measured both the memory overhead of the additional components we put on top of traditional ontology networks, and the framework's caching capabilities.

description: Despite recent breakthroughs in deep learning methods for image lighting enhancement, they are inferior when applied to portraits because 3D facial information is ignored in their models. To address this, we present a novel deep learning framework for portrait lighting enhancement based on 3D facial guidance. Our framework consists of two stages. In the first stage, corrected lighting parameters are predicted by a network from the input bad lighting image, with the assistance of a 3D morphable model and a differentiable renderer. Given the predicted lighting parameter, the differentiable renderer renders a face image with corrected shading and texture, which serves as the 3D guidance for learning image lighting enhancement in the second stage. To better exploit the long-range correlations between the input and the guidance, in the second stage, we design an image-to-image translation network with a novel transformer architecture, which automatically produces a lighting-enhanced result. Experimental results on the FFHQ dataset and in-the-wild images show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of both quantitative metrics and visual quality. We will publish our dataset along with more results on https://cassiepython.github.io/egsr/index.html.

description: L'Europe commence à découvrir le désert à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Ce milieu présente des aspects multiples aux premiers explorateurs, qui le décrivent comme un lieu vivant et varié. La géopolitique constitue le premier approche d'analyse : le désert peut être rendu plus viable si mieux administré, donc libre de la domination ottomane. Au cours du siècle, le tourisme se développe, aussi en raison de la colonisation ; l'expérience du désert devient commune, et les voyageurs partent en quête d'une expérience spirituelle aussi bien que d'une aventure. Le désert devient un écran de projection pour la rêverie et les souvenirs des Européens (la Bible et les topos traditionnels demeurent actifs dans l'imaginaire occidental) ; seules certaines caractéristiques de ce milieu sont dès lors appréciées par les voyageurs. Ensuite, avec l'âge du Réalisme, devient objet d'appréciation de la part des peintres. Grâce à la médiation de l'art, la littérature commence à regarder au désert d'un point de vue esthétique, et elle lui reconnaît un charme de la nudité et du dépouillement. La mort et le minéral caractérisent ce milieu vers la fin du siècle ; le désert se vide, et devient le "désert de sable" que nous tous connaissons aujourd'hui.
description: Europe starts its discovery of the desert at the end of XVIIIth century. This environment presents multiple aspects to the first explorers, who describe it as a various and living territory. Geopolitics is the first approach to the desert : this environment could be emproved by a wise government, different from Turkish domination. During the century, tourism develops, also as an effect of colonisation ; the experience of the desert becomes more common, and travellers seek spiritual experience as well as adventure. The desert starts then to be a projection screen for Europeans' fantasies and memories(the Bible and traditional topos still work in Western imagery), and thus only some of its components are apreciated by travellers. Then, in contemporary with the age of Realism, the desert becomes an interesting subject in itself for painters. Art helps Literature evolve towards an aesthetic appraisal of bare and waste desert. Death and mineral are the main aspects of this environment towards the end of the century ; desert gets empty, and prepare to become the "sandy desert" we all know.

description: Customer satisfaction has been traditionally studied and measured regardless of the time elapsed since the purchase. Some studies have recently reopened the debate about the temporal pattern of satisfaction. This research aims to explain why “how you evaluate a service depends on when you evaluate it” on the basis of the theoretical framework proposed by Construal-Level Theory (CLT). Although an empirical investigation is still lacking, the literature does not deny that CLT can be applied also with regard to past events. Moreover, some studies support the idea that satisfaction is a good predictor of future intentions, while others do not. On the basis of CLT, we argue that these inconsistent results are due to the different construal levels of the information pertaining to retrospective and prospective evaluations. Building on the Two-Factor Theory, we explain the persistence of certain attributes’ representations over time according to their relationship with overall performance.
We present and discuss three experiments and one field study that were conducted a) to test the extensibility of CLT to past events, b) to disentangle memory and construal effects, c) to study the effect of different temporal perspective on overall satisfaction judgements, and d) to investigate the temporal shift of the determinants of customer satisfaction as a function of temporal distance.

description: Le particolari caratteristiche dei sistemi democratici multipartitici producono forti incentivi al coordinamento tra i partiti politici, che li inducono ad accordarsi per la formazione di coalizioni in due momenti politici cruciali: la competizione elettorale e la formazione dei governi. La tesi è volta a un'analisi della formazione di coalizioni pre-elettorali e degli effetti da esse prodotti sulle dinamiche di voto e sulla struttura dei governi. Si tratta di un ambito di ricerca di recente formazione, che è fondato sulla letteratura della scelta razionale. Il lavoro, diviso in due parti, vede in primo luogo un'analisi comparata relativa alla formazione delle coalizioni in 20 Stati democratici, seguita da uno studio di caso sugli effetti prodotti dalla formazione di patti elettorali in Italia.

description: We show that Josephson $ψ$ junctions with the half-metallic (HM) weak link coupled to the superconducting (S) electrodes through the ferromagnetic (F) layers host collective excitations of magnetic moment and the Josephson phase. This results in the shift of the ferromagnetic resonance frequency, anomalies in the current-voltage characteristics and the appearance of additional magnetic anisotropy in the F layers. In contrast to the previously studied S/F/S junctions, the coupling between magnetic and plasma modes emerges even in the long-wavelength limit. Such coupling is shown to enable the controllable magnetization reversal in the F layer governed by the d.c. current pulse which provides the effective mechanism for magnetic moment manipulation in the devices of superconducting spintronics.

description: Due to larger mass and earlier production, heavy quark(quarkonium) can be sensitive probes to investigate the fast decaying electromagnetic and vortical fields produced in heavy-ion collisions. The non-relativistic Schroedinger-like equation for heavy quarks under strong electromagnetic fields in the rotating frame is deduced and used to construct the two-body equation for the charmonium system. The effective potential between charm and anti-charm becomes anisotropic in electromagnetic and vortical fields, especially along the direction of the Lorentz force. The vorticity will affect this asymmetry property largely and catalyze the transition from strong interaction dominant bound state to electromagnetic and vortical interaction controlled anisotropic bound state. It is possible to be realized in high-energy nuclear collisions.

description: Several biomarkers had been proposed as useful parameters to better define the prognosis or to delineate new target therapy strategies for glioblastoma (GBM) patients. MicroRNAs could represent interesting molecules, for their role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression and for their specific tissue expression. Although many studies have tried to identify a specific microRNAs signature for glioblastoma, by now an exhaustive GBM microRNAs profile is far to be well defined.
In this work we set up a real-time qPCR, based on LNA primers, to investigate the expression of 19 microRNAs in brain tumors, focusing our attention on GBMs.
MiRNAs expression in 30 GBM paired FFPE-Fresh/Frozen samples was firstly analyzed. The good correlation obtained comparing miRNAs results confirmed the feasibility of performing miRNAs analysis starting from FFPE tissues. This leads to many advantages, as a good disposal of archival tumor and normal brain specimens and the possibility to verify the percentage of tumor cells in the analyzed sample. In the second part we compared 3 non-neoplastic brain references to use as control in miRNAs analysis. Normal adjacent the tumor, epileptic specimens and a commercial total RNA were analyzed for miRNAs expression and results showed that different non-neoplastic controls could lead to important discrepancies in GBM miRNAs profiles.
Analyzing 50 FFPE GBMs using all 3 non-neoplastic references, we defined a putative GBM miRNAs signature: mir-10b, miR-21 and miR-27a resulted upregulated, while miR-7, miR-9, miR-26a, miR-31, miR-101, miR-137, miR-222 and miR-330 were downregulated.
Comparing miRNAs expression among GBM group and gliomas of grade I, II and III, we obtained 3 miRNAs (miR-10b, mir-34a and miR-101) showing a different regulation status between high grade and low grade gliomas. Intriguingly, miR-10b was upregulated in high grade and significantly downregulated in low grade gliomas, suggesting that could be a candidate for a GBM target therapy.
