Un mondo senza parole: una storia per sviluppare le competenze di scrittura alla Scuola elementare
Creators: name: Imperatori, Maria

Year: 2015

description: La scrittura è una delle abilità più complesse che l’essere umano apprende, per questo è uno dei pilastri della SE, nonché uno dei suoi nodi cruciali. Questa ricerca è volta a indagare se, e come, è possibile favorire le capacità di scrittura dei bambini alla SE. In particolare, si è voluto sperimentare se la lettura di una storia divergente e una discussione guidata dall’approccio “dimmi” di Aidan Chambers, insieme a una consegna di scrittura adeguata, possono portare l’allievo ad attivare un processo cognitivo più complesso nella scrittura, chiamato “trasformazione delle conoscenze”. Spesso, gli scriventi meno esperti tendono a scrivere realizzando un semplice elenco di informazioni: in qualità di insegnanti, il nostro obiettivo è quello di portare gradualmente gli allievi oltre questo approccio iniziale alla scrittura. La sperimentazione ha coinvolto 19 bambini di una terza elementare di Locarno, e il principale strumento di raccolta dati sono stati i loro testi. È stato confrontato un testo scritto liberamente con uno prodotto in seguito alla lettura e alla discussione di un libro. Si è trattato di una ricerca qualitativa a campione ridotto, che non ha quindi la pretesa di offrire una teoria generalizzabile. Tuttavia, è stato possibile osservare che tutti i testi scritti dopo il lavoro con il libro avevano un taglio più personale, e che 10 bambini su 19 hanno prodotto un testo nel quale è possibile ravvisare una maggior tendenza all’attivazione del processo di trasformazione delle conoscenze.

description: The Anderson localization transition is considered at finite temperatures. This includes the electrical conductivity as well as the electronic thermal conductivity and the thermoelectric coefficients. An interesting critical behavior of the latter is found. A method for characterizing the conductivity critical exponent, an important signature of the transition, using the conductivity and thermopower measurements, is outlined.

Nucleo per artisti

description: Traendo ispirazione da quella che è la tradizione, ovvero edifici contigui con i loro tetti, ho da subito impostato un susseguirsi di falde, che alternandosi coprono un pieno, atelier ed abitazione, ed un “vuoto”, caratterizzato da una piattaforma ad uso semi privato degli artisti. Nella mia ricerca di un’unità di tutti gli edifici tramite l’elemento del tetto ho vagliato diverse possibilità di composizione degli edifici. Questo mi ha più volte fatta scontrare con degli elementi deboli ed atipici come le falde convesse. Ho quindi apportato delle modifiche al master plan originario, avendo cura di mantenere le caratteristiche fondanti di esso, così da dare maggiore ordine e rigore al mio progetto. La linea del tetto è generata da una regola molto semplice: gronda e colmo si trovano sempre alla stessa altezza, e tra questi due elementi vi è una differenza di quota di 2 metri. Questa scelta deriva da varie riflessioni e tentativi, come l’opzione di mante¬nere sempre la stessa pendenza delle falde, che generava degli spazi non definibili da me, che mi portavano quindi ad essere completamente in balia della successione di falde del mio sistema. Tutti gli edifici ad utilizzo esclusivo degli artisti si sviluppano su due piani, al piano terra si situa l’atelier, che ho diviso tramite il blocco dei servizi, in due spazi di lavoro distinti. La parte abitativa si trova al piano superiore, raggiungibile tramite una scala esterna a ridosso dell’edificio. La scelta della scala esterna si rifà a quelle che sono le tipologie di circolazione presente nei nuclei del Mendrisiotto, sempre gestite esternamente all’edificio. Il piano abitativo si affaccia tra¬mite una doppia altezza sullo spazio di lavoro principale dell’artista, ponendolo sempre a confronto ed in comunicazione con il suo lavoro. Il vuoto coperto diviene spazio abitabile tramite l’elevazione di una piattaforma, questa è raggiungibile unicamente dall’interno dell’abitazione per dargli una funzione semi privata e renderlo uno spazio utilizzabile unicamente dalle abitazioni che sostengono la struttura portante di essa. Per esaltare il vuoto e la sua leggerezza, la piattaforma è composta da travi IPE in acciaio e la pavimentazione è una semplice lamiera forata appoggiata alla struttura portante.
Pre-clinical evaluation of theranostic [177Lu]Lu-PSMA617 prostate cancer treatment in combination with adjuvant agonistic OX40-targeting

description: Prostate cancer represents a significant disease burden worldwide. While recent advancements in diagnostics and therapy have increased both overall and progress-free survival in PCa, relapses are common, and progression to the metastatic phenotype continues to block therapeutic efforts, often leading to fatal outcomes in spite of multimodal therapy. Consequently, more potent treatment options are the subject of dynamic pre-clinical and clinical research. A substantial part of this research focuses on combination treatment strategies, such as therapy using theranostic targeted radioligands combined with immunotherapeutics. We proposed co-targeting of OX40, a T-cell surface antigen using an agonistic antibody OX86, in combination with a lutetium-177-labelled, PSMA antigen-binding radiopharmaceutical [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-(DKFZ)-PSMA617. Based on promising results from pre-clinical and clinical trials, we hypothesized that the combined treatment would have greater therapeutic effect than either treatment alone. First we isolated four clones of a doxycycline (Tet-On)-inducible cell line, deriving from a commonly used TRAMP-C2 cell line. Next, we conducted imaging and biodistribution studies and were able to prove inducibility of PSMA protein-expression upon induction, in a non-immunogenic model. Induction was visualized in PET/CT scans as increased [¹⁸F]DCFPyL uptake in the inoculated tumour region, and evident from the dosimetry analysis of gamma-counted organ samples ex vivo, whereas tumour tissue tracer uptake amounted to up to 26% ID/g. Cells derived from excised tumours were viable in an immunocompetent model, which facilitated experiments aimed at comparing therapeutic efficacy of the proposed combination treatment. In the adapted therapy studies, tumour growth inhibition was achieved in both iv treatment groups ([¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA617 alone and in combination with OX86 antibody). Growth dynamics of untreated tumours showed a high degree of variability, which negatively impacted the interpretative value of the results. However, underlying processes causing such non-uniformity of results were delineated in another set of experiments - the pilot autoradiography (betaimaging) and tissue architecture imaging studies concluding this thesis, identifying pronounced intra- and intertumoural heterogeneity. To conclude, successful induction of PSMA-expression and the viability of used clones in immunocompetent models hold promise of applying this system as a gene-reporting tool, and further subcloning of the cell populations can pave a way for expanded therapy studies.
A Systematic Review on Model Watermarking for Neural Networks

description: Machine learning (ML) models are applied in an increasing variety of domains. The availability of large amounts of data and computational resources encourages the development of ever more complex and valuable models. These models are considered intellectual property of the legitimate parties who have trained them, which makes their protection against stealing, illegitimate redistribution, and unauthorized application an urgent need. Digital watermarking presents a strong mechanism for marking model ownership and, thereby, offers protection against those threats. This work presents a taxonomy identifying and analyzing different classes of watermarking schemes for ML models. It introduces a unified threat model to allow structured reasoning on and comparison of the effectiveness of watermarking methods in different scenarios. Furthermore, it systematizes desired security requirements and attacks against ML model watermarking. Based on that framework, representative literature from the field is surveyed to illustrate the taxonomy. Finally, shortcomings and general limitations of existing approaches are discussed, and an outlook on future research directions is given.

We prove that $W^{1,2}(U)$ has smooth cylindrical functions as a dense subset if $U$ is $H$-convex and $H$-open. For the proof, the relations between $H$-notions and quasi-notions are also studied.

description: We examine the local density of states of an impurity level or a quantum dot coupled to a fractional quantum Hall edge, or to the end of a single one-dimensional Luttinger-liquid lead. Effects of an Ohmic dissipative bath are also taken into account. Using both analytical and numerical techniques we show that, in general, the density of states exhibits power-law frequency dependence near the Fermi energy. In a substantial region of the parameter space it simply reflects the behavior of the tunneling density of states at the end of a Luttinger-liquid, and is insensitive either to the value of the dot-lead interaction or to the strength of dissipation; otherwise it depends on these couplings too. This behavior should be contrasted with the thermodynamic properties of the level, in particular, its occupancy, which were previously shown to depend on the various interactions in the system only through the corresponding Fermi edge singularity exponent, and thus cannot display any Luttinger-liquid specific power-law. Hence, we can construct different models, some with and some without interactions in the wire (but with equal Fermi edge singularity exponents), which would have very different level densities of states, although they all result in the same level population vs. energy curves.

description: In the Western world we tend to neglect our mental wellbeing. We ignore feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness until the point that these develop themselves into burnouts, depressions and other mental issues... ‘We never saw coming...’

After problems have escalated treatment is expensive, lengthy and bureaucratic. Treatment is also ‘disease’ oriented, reducing a person to a ‘patient’ and not focusing on possibilities.

As much as one out of every four westerners may develop a mental issue during their lifetimes. In many of these cases, escalation towards severe mental illness can be prevented by a greater awareness and basic care of ones own mental health. Very much likewe are supposed to keep our bodies fit, thereby preventing tobecome obese or heart diseased.

Mindkeeper is a multidisciplinary collaborative design project that is doing just that: Psychologists, psychiatrics, patients, insurers, coders and designers have teamed-up to develop a digital tool that provides people agency regarding matters concerning their own mental health.

Mindkeeper will do that by coaching the user in seeking emotionalfulfillment on the basis of the users emotional state and context.This emotional state is monitored by Mindkeeper thus building a personal mental health record. The data making up this record is visualized in a coherent and pleasing way providing the user with an idea of what is going on in ones mind. This results in a clear and attractive overview of an area that is usually shrouded in mysteries and folklore. The user empowered with this mental insight, may use Mindkeeper to connect with a community. Once connected, people can post queries, receive answers, compare ones situation with selected others and receiving and reviewing tips and tricks in getting or keeping oneself on track.

The basic idea is that Mindkeeper is aimed at relatively mental healthy people and that by using Mindkeeper, people remedy slight issues themselves, thereby staying in control and keeping theresponsibility of their own mental well being in their own hands.

description: Cell therapies have significant therapeutic potential in diverse fields including regenerative medicine, transplantation tolerance, and autoimmunity. Within these fields, regulatory T cells (Treg) have been deployed to ameliorate aberrant immune responses with great success. However, translation of the cryopreservation strategies employed for other cell therapy products, such as effector T cell therapies, to Treg therapies has been challenging. The lack of an optimized cryopreservation strategy for Treg products presents a substantial obstacle to their broader application, particularly as administration of fresh cells limits the window available for sterility and functional assessment. In this study, we aimed to develop an optimized cryopreservation strategy for our CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg clinical product. We investigate the effect of synthetic or organic cryoprotectants including different concentrations of DMSO on Treg recovery, viability, phenotype, cytokine production, suppressive capacity, and in vivo survival following GMP-compliant manufacture. We additionally assess the effect of adding the extracellular cryoprotectant polyethylene glycol (PEG), or priming cellular expression of heat shock proteins as strategies to improve viability. We find that cryopreservation in serum-free freezing medium supplemented with 10% human serum albumin and 5% DMSO facilitates improved Treg recovery and functionality and supports a reduced DMSO concentration in Treg cryopreservation protocols. This strategy may be easily incorporated into clinical manufacture protocols for future studies.

description: ABSTRACT: In recent years, with the increasing heat dissipation of electrical appliances, efficient cooling systems are required to solve the elevated temperature problems encountered in certain interior areas of electrical devices. This paper presents a new advanced proposed vapor chamber design combined a phase change material (PCM) with an extended surface area (fins). The new approach is utilizing water as working fluid, pool boiling employed as evaporation progress, and the copper foam and PCM-HS29P as a thermal storage. In order to investigate the proposed design performance, a numerical model and simulation analysis were conducted to remove 225W of heat generated from an electronic chip sized 2.5x2.5 cm2 and maintain the chip temperature below 70oC for a normal operation. It was determined that when the new design outreaches 225W, the temperature of the chip is just 335.5K. Furthermore, the safety of the chip is increased with PCM used which can transfer 22% more heat input to 275W. Due to the absence of the wick structure fabrication in this approach, it is foreseeable the design cost is reduced as long as the pool boiling is employed as evaporation progress. Results obtained from this study will pave the way that will allow designing an effective new vapor chamber approach.

description: Extrasolar planet host stars have been found to be enriched in key planet-building elements. These enrichments have the potential to drastically alter the composition of material available for terrestrial planet formation. Here we report on the combination of dynamical models of late-stage terrestrial planet formation within known extrasolar planetary systems with chemical equilibrium models of the composition of solid material within the disk. This allows us to determine the bulk elemental composition of simulated extrasolar terrestrial planets. A wide variety of resulting planetary compositions are found, ranging from those that are essentially "Earth-like", containing metallic Fe and Mg-silicates, to those that are dominated by graphite and SiC. This shows that a diverse range of terrestrial planets may exist within extrasolar planetary systems.

description: Rotating modulation is a technique for indirect imaging in the hard x-ray and soft gamma-ray energy bands, which may offer an advantage over coded aperture imaging at high energies. A rotating modulator (RM) consists of a single mask of co-planar parallel slats typically spaced equidistance apart, suspended above an array of circular non-imaging detectors. The mask rotates, temporally modulating the transmitted image of the object scene. The measured count rate profiles of each detector are folded modulo the mask rotational period, and the object scene is reconstructed using pre-determined characteristic modulation profiles. The use of Monte Carlo simulation to derive the characteristic count rate profiles is accurate but computationally expensive; an analytic approach is preferred for its speed of computation. We present both the standard and a new advanced characteristic formula describing the modulation pattern of the RM; the latter is a more robust description of the instrument response developed as part of the design of a wide-field high-resolution telescope for gamma-ray astronomy. We examine an approximation to the advanced formula to simplify reconstruction software and increase computational speed, and comment on both the inherent limitations and usefulness of the approach. Finally, we show comparisons to the standard formula and demonstrate image reconstructions from Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Given a Feynman parameter integral, depending on a single discrete variable $N$ and a real parameter $ε$, we discuss a new algorithmic framework to compute the first coefficients of its Laurent series expansion in $ε$. In a first step, the integrals are expressed by hypergeometric multi-sums by means of symbolic transformations. Given this sum format, we develop new summation tools to extract the first coefficients of its series expansion whenever they are expressible in terms of indefinite nested product-sum expressions. In particular, we enhance the known multi-sum algorithms to derive recurrences for sums with complicated boundary conditions, and we present new algorithms to find formal Laurent series solutions of a given recurrence relation.

description: Abstract italiano Il tema di questa tesi è l’applicazione di un modello di Deep Learning nell’ambito dello studio del sonno. La Polisonnografia (PSG) è un esame diagnostico volto all’individuazione di eventuali disturbi del sonno. Durante la PSG vengono generalmente monitorate l’attività cerebrale (EEG), attività cardiaca (ECG), i movimenti oculari (EOG) e i movimenti muscolari (EMG). I dati raccolit vengono analizzati per classificare le varie fasi e i cicli del sonno. Vengono riconosciute cinque fasi del sonno: Wakefulness (W), fasi non-REM (N1, N2, N3), e Rapid Eye Movement (REM). In questo progetto, viene esteso un algoritmo di Deep Learning dedicato alla classificazione delle fasi del sonno, integrando la tecnica Monte Carlo Dropout, un modo per migliorare i risultati predetti dalla rete. --- The subject of this thesis is the application of a Deep Learning model in the study of sleep. The Polysomnography (PSG) is a diagnostic examination aimed at detecting sleep disorders. During PSG, brain activity (EEG), cardiac activity (ECG), eye movements (EOG) and muscle movements (EMG) are generally monitored. The data collected is analysed to classify the various sleep stages and cycles. Five sleep phases are recognised: Wakefulness (W), non-REM phases (N1, N2, N3), and Rapid Eye Movement (REM). In this project, a Deep Learning algorithm dedicated to the classification of sleep stages is extended by integrating the Monte Carlo Dropout technique, a way to improve the results predicted by the network.

description: The classic Cayley identity states that \det(\partial) (\det X)^s = s(s+1)...(s+n-1) (\det X)^{s-1} where X=(x_{ij}) is an n-by-n matrix of indeterminates and \partial=(\partial/\partial x_{ij}) is the corresponding matrix of partial derivatives. In this paper we present straightforward combinatorial proofs of a variety of Cayley-type identities, both old and new. The most powerful of these proofs employ Grassmann algebra (= exterior algebra) and Grassmann-Berezin integration. Among the new identities proven here are a pair of "diagonal-parametrized" Cayley identities, a pair of "Laplacian-parametrized" Cayley identities, and the "product-parametrized" and "border-parametrized" rectangular Cayley identities.

Formalising the multidimensional nature of social networks

description: Individuals interact with conspecifics in a number of behavioural contexts or dimensions. Here, we formalise this by considering a social network between n individuals interacting in b behavioural dimensions as a nxnxb multidimensional object. In addition, we propose that the topology of this object is driven by individual needs to reduce uncertainty about the outcomes of interactions in one or more dimension. The proposal grounds social network dynamics and evolution in individual selection processes and allows us to define the uncertainty of the social network as the joint entropy of its constituent interaction networks. In support of these propositions we use simulations and natural 'knock-outs' in a free-ranging baboon troop to show (i) that such an object can display a small-world state and (ii) that, as predicted, changes in interactions after social perturbations lead to a more certain social network, in which the outcomes of interactions are easier for members to predict. This new formalisation of social networks provides a framework within which to predict network dynamics and evolution under the assumption that it is driven by individuals seeking to reduce the uncertainty of their social environment.

Feasibility and preliminary safety of nitric oxide releasing solution as a treatment for bovine mastitis
Creators: name: Martins, James Anthony Vieira
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The risk of antibiotic resistance in bovine mastitis, one of the most widespread and significant diseases affecting dairy farming, both in terms of animal welfare and economic cost has become a concern, leading to a push for alternative treatments. Nitric oxide releasing solution (NORS) is a liquid formulation that releases nitric oxide, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, single electron nitroxide radical. This solution was investigated as a potential antimicrobial treatment for bovine mastitis. Three main experiments were performed: 1) the development of NORS so that it is compatible in milk; 2) the antimicrobial effect of NORS in milk with in-vitro and ex-vivo samples; and 3) the consequences of administering NORS to healthy milking cattle using a dose-escalating in-vivo study. NORS was successfully created to be compatible in milk without causing curdling while continuing to release nitric oxide. Additionally, the formula lowered bacterial concentration in all infected samples, in a time and milk-diluted dependant fashion. In the preliminary safety study, metabolite concentrations were measured in their blood for methaemoglobin and nitrite; also, milk nitrite concentration was analyzed to determine a potential clearance time for the drug. Separately, somatic cell count was determined in order to ascertain possible mammary gland inflammation following NORS treatment. Blood methemoglobin concentrations following treatment were all within the normal range for cattle. However, blood and milk nitrite concentrations increased initially but, during the next 24 hours, returned to normal range, as did the somatic cell count after one week, without any clinical signs of mammary gland inflammation. NORS, if shown to be effective, could be an alternative treatment for mastitis with a shorter clearance time.
Development of a Novel Electrically Conductive Flame Retardant Bio-based Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Creators: name: Dos Santos Barrettino, Rosane Moura
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2015

description: The central topic of this thesis was the design and development of a bi-functional thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composite, which is halogen-free bio-based flame retardant (UL94-V0) with an electrical resistivity ≤ 1000 Ω.cm and a filler load that does not exceed 25 wt.%. In order to reach this goal, the experimental activities were divided into the following tasks: (a) materials pre-selection, (b) design of experiment (DOE), (c) materials compounding, (d) specimens preparation (injection moulding), and (e) materials characterization (electrical resistivity tests, flammability tests, and microstructure analysis). In other words, the main tasks were identifying the ingredients (in a first stage) and defining the optimal proportions of additives (in a second stage) capable of simultaneously conferring to the polymer of interest the most desirable values of flame retardancy (as high as possible) and electrical resistivity (as low as possible); followed by the material preparation (third stage) and the material characterization (forth stage). The materials (flame retardants and electrically conductive additives) used in the development of this novel formulation were pre-selected mainly based on bibliographical studies. Then, the experimental activities and the analysis of the test results allowed to identify positive and negative effects among the components of the formulation such as synergistic effects among flame retardants on the improvement of the fire resistant performance. The obtained final formulation accomplished the desired target values of flame retardancy (V0 compliant) and electrical resistivity (≤1000 Ω.cm). It was compared to commercial products from the companies RTP, BASF and LUBRIZOL, which are used in the same field of application. The material developed during this work showed a lower electrical resistivity than these commercially available products while being bio-based and V0 (UL-94 test) at the same time. In addition, an innovative online acquisition apparatus for monitoring the surface growth of flame retardant protective layers was designed and developed during this thesis, which provided a deep insight of the dynamic behaviour of a phosphorous-based flame retarded material. The measurement of the surface protective layer growth rate provided a better understanding of the behaviour of the flame retardant systems, correlating the speed of the chemical reaction with the performances of the material.

Two-weight norm inequalities for potential type and maximal operators in a metric space

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)

description: We characterize two-weight norm inequalities for potential type integral operators in terms of Sawyer-type testing conditions. Our result is stated in a space of homogeneous type with no additional geometric assumptions, such as group structure or non-empty annulus property, which appeared in earlier works on the subject. One of the new ingredients in the proof is the use of a finite collection of adjacent dyadic systems recently constructed by the author and T. Hytönen. We further extend the previous Euclidean characterization of two-weight norm inequalities for fractional maximal functions into spaces of homogeneous type.
