Training effects of healthy vs. hedonic health perspectives on food choice: No training baseline experiment
Creators: name: Barsalou, Lawrence
name: Dutriaux, Léo
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: This is the second in a series of planned experiments. An initial exploratory experiment was not pre-registered, given that we were assessing the paradigm for the first time. Nevertheless we made key predictions that were confirmed, which are essentially identical with the predictions made here. The purpose of this next experiment is to add a no-training baseline to the design of the previous experiment so that we can assess whether the two forms of training contrasted (healthy vs. hedonic) both have effects relative to a baseline, or only one does. Later experiments will explore these effects with respect to other possible baselines.

description: Many phenomena in solid-state physics can be understood in terms of their topological properties. Recently, controlled protocols of quantum walks are proving to be effective simulators of such phenomena. Here we report the realization of a photonic quantum walk showing both the trivial and the non-trivial topologies associated with chiral symmetry in one-dimensional periodic systems, as in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model of polyacetylene. We find that the probability distribution moments of the walker position after many steps behave differently in the two topological phases and can be used as direct indicators of the quantum transition: while varying a control parameter, these moments exhibit a slope discontinuity at the transition point, and remain constant in the non-trivial phase. Extending this approach to higher dimensions, different topological classes, and other typologies of quantum phases may offer new general instruments for investigating quantum transitions in such complex systems.

description: Today, the environmental sustainability and development model are linked to culture, urban regeneration and new economy. Conceptualized in the 90s, cultural industry has flourished with the affirmation of the creative economy and new systemic economic theories and is now advancing towards models of creative cities and regions representing the spatial expression of the post-industrial economy. The territorial dimension has a fundamental role in the development of creative environments, while the space of the creative class represents the new urban work-environment. The qualitative analysis of those places in terms of requests and performance distinguishes it as a motivating field for the application of the technological project.

Neuropeptide Y in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Modulates Ethanol Consumption in Mice

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Binge-like drinking behavior has been estimated to cause about 80,000 deaths in the United States annually and is a significant risk factor for developing ethanol dependence. This behavior is partially regulated by control of the amygdala by the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). A neurotransmitter called neuropeptide Y (NPY) binds to neurons in the mPFC projecting to the amygdala, thus we hypothesized that NPY regulates binge-like drinking behavior. In the mPFC, NPY has a post-synaptic receptor NPY1R, and a presynaptic receptor NPY2R. To test NPY’s affect in modulating ethanol intake, we pharmacologically
agonized NPY1R and pharmacologically antagonized NPY2R. The agonism of NPY’s post-synaptic receptor and the antagonism of NPY’s presynaptic receptor both resulted in reduced ethanol intake
compared to vehicle treated animals. To further study NPY’s role, we chemogenetically inhibited neurons in the mPFC expressing NPY1R through the use of a Designer Receptor Exclusively Activated by a
Designer Drug (DREADD). This specific inhibition of NPY1R expressing cells in the mPFC resulted in decreased consumption of ethanol. To examine the effects of binge-like drinking on NPY activity in the
mPFC, we performed immunohistochemistry and found a decrease in NPY immunoreactivity after three weeks of binge-like drinking. These results establish a role for NPY modulation of binge-like drinking
behavior in mice. This study could help understand how people develop alcohol dependence and suggest therapeutic strategies.

description: In this work we propose an accurate first-principle approach to calculate the transient photo--absorption spectrum measured in Pump\&\,Probe experiments. We formulate a condition of {\em adiabaticity} and thoroughly analyze the simplifications brought about by the fulfillment of this condition in the non--equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) framework. Starting from the Kadanoff-Baym equations we derive a non--equilibrium Bethe--Salpeter equation (BSE) for the response function that can be implemented in most of the already existing {\em ab--initio} codes. In addition, the {\em adiabatic} approximation is benchmarked against full NEGF simulations in simple model hamiltonians, even under extreme, nonadiabatic conditions where it is expected to fail. We find that the non--equilibrium BSE is very robust and captures important spectral features in a wide range of experimental configurations.

description: The growing awareness that environmental protection is a top priority in terms of ethical, social as well as economic, has been determined since the 70's the definition of tools and procedures able to ensure control of the processes of transformation of the territory and environment. Among these, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) included into the Italian legislation almost thirty years ago as a tool for knowledge and information in support of the "decision-makers" both public and private, is an effective procedure even though complex to verify, in advance, the environmental compatibility of projects and interventions of various types and dangers. This paper will highlight, through a critical analysis, the characterizing steps within a wider examination, also normative, that draws attention: on the possible relation with strategic decisions on which functions and sustainable activities in the territory are calibrated; on the aspects of the preliminary assessment, necessary for its proper application, and on the results that are intended to achieve the goals of environmental protection at the base of the same.

This short written report reflects on an idea inspired by the video: the GoPro gaze. Enacted by increasingly sophisticated, portable and affordable recording audiovisual technologies such as the GoPro Hero camera, the ‘GoPro gaze’ entails not just the pursuit of pleasures derived from adventure and nature-based travel, but also the production and distribution of professional-quality independent videos for Internet audiences. Based on a series of ‘go-along’ interviews with adventure travelers/athletes/artists, this article and the accompanying video prompt us to reflect on how the affective pleasures and technological affordances of the ‘GoPro gaze’ trouble the established idea of the ‘tourist gaze’.

In this latter case the vorticity also must vanish, and the resulting spacetime is Friedman--Robertson--Walker (FRW). Therefore it does not produce gravitational radiation.

description: Age of Information (AoI) and Peak AoI (PAoI) and their analytical models have recently drawn substantial amount of attention in information theory and wireless communications disciplines, in the context of qualitative assessment of information freshness in status update systems. We take a queueing-theoretic approach and study a probabilistically preemptive bufferless $M/PH/1/1$ queueing system with arrivals stemming from $N$ separate information sources, with the aim of modeling a generic status update system. In this model, a new information packet arrival from source $m$ is allowed to preempt a packet from source $n$ in service, with a probability depending on $n$ and $m$. To make the model even more general than the existing ones, for each of the information sources, we assume a distinct PH-type service time distribution and a distinct packet error probability. Subsequently, we obtain the exact distributions of the AoI and PAoI for each of the information sources using matrix-analytical algorithms and in particular the theory of Markov fluid queues and sample path arguments. This is in contrast with existing methods that rely on Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHS) which obtain only the average values and in less general settings. Numerical examples are provided to validate the proposed approach as well as to give engineering insight on the impact of preemption probabilities on certain AoI and PAoI performance figures.

Fast Auto-adaptive Gain Adaption for Improved Signal Dynamics

Publisher: name: KIT Scientific Publishing
Year: 2021

description: In our 3D Ultrasound Computer Tomography system (USCT), the 12 bit ADC and factor 10 VGA are insufficient to resolve the smallest interesting signals. An adaptive front-end gain can solve this by object specific adaptions during the measurement. The 3D USCT II of the KIT device contains 157 Transmitter Array System (TAS). Each TAS has 13 piezoelectric transducers, corresponding analog signal front end (AFE) and an MSP430FG66xx series microcontroller (MCU). All TAS are connected to a control board through a two-wire serial bus system. Direct Memory Access (DMA) was used in the hardware to control the interrupt of the Universal Serial Communication Interfaces module (USCI). To complete the data transfer without occupying the MCUs of the TAS. A location-based general call was developed in the control system. The host transmits one frame long message to all TAS in a general call mode. This message contains the configurations of all TAS for the next measurement step. The address of each TAS corresponds to the location of each configuration in the long message. Thus, in the broadcast mode, each TAS only obtains the configuration information required by itself. With these two improvements, to configure all of the TAS can be reduced to less than 3 ms, which is the shortest measurement interval. The here proposed solution allows a fast dynamic control of the front-end electronics during measurement without extending the measurement time significantly.

description: The magnetization ripple is a microstructure formed in thin ferromagnetic films. It can be described by minimizers of a nonconvex energy functional leading to a nonlocal and nonlinear elliptic SPDE in two dimensions driven by white noise, which is singular. We address the universal character of the magnetization ripple using variational methods based on $Γ$-convergence. Due to the infinite energy of the system, the (random) energy functional has to be renormalized. Using the topology of $Γ$-convergence, we give a sense to the law of the renormalized functional that is independent of the way white noise is approximated. More precisely, this universality holds in the class of (not necessarily Gaussian) approximations to white noise satisfying the spectral gap inequality, which allows us to obtain sharp stochastic estimates. As a corollary, we obtain the existence of minimizers with optimal regularity.

description: Environmental quality and energy efficiency are strategic objectives which can highlight the ‘effectiveness’ of design and technological choices, as well as the impact of management strategies and user behaviour. Studies show it is possible to narrow the gap between expected and actual energy consumption if technical performance, occupant behaviour, and management systems are considered together. In the United Kingdom, industries and universities have created ‘Carbon Buzz’ based on the principles of Evidence Based Design. Following on from this project, Rome Tre University, together with UCL and Aedas R&D, are developing a platform using structured data and comparisons to create a link between energy performance and CO2 emissions, and choices regarding design, technology, and management.

description: The rich physics manifested by 5d oxides falls outside the Mott-Hubbard paradigm used to successfully explain the electronic and magnetic properties of 3d oxides. Much consideration has been given to the extent to which strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC), in the limit of increased bandwidth and reduced electron correlation, drives the formation of novel electronic states, as manifested through the existence of metal-insulator transitions (MITs). SOC is believed to play a dominant role in 5d5 systems such as iridates (Ir4+), undergoing MITs which may or may not be intimately connected to magnetic order, with pyrochlore and perovksite systems being examples of the former and latter, respectively. However, the role of SOC for other 5d configurations is less clear. For example, 5d3 (e.g Os5+) systems are expected to have an orbital singlet and consequently a reduced effect of SOC in the groundstate. The pyrochlore osmate Cd2Os2O7 nonetheless exhibits a MIT intimately entwined with magnetic order with phenomena similar to pyrochlore iridates. Here we report the first resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements on an osmium compound, allowing us to determine the salient electronic and magnetic energy scales controlling the MIT in Cd2Os2O7, which we benchmark against detailed quantum chemistry calculations. In particular, we reveal the emergence at the MIT of a magnetic excitation corresponding to a superposition of multiple spin-flip processes from an Ising-like all-in/all-out magnetic groundstate. We discuss our results with respect to the role of SOC in magnetically mediated MITs in 5d systems

description: Introduction: Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) are involved in the cellular damage response following exposure to ionizing radiation as applied in radiotherapy. However, the role of lncRNAs in radiation response concerning intrinsic susceptibility to late effects of radiation exposure has not been examined in general or in long-term survivors of childhood cancer with and without potentially radiotherapy-related second primary cancers, in particular. Methods: Primary skin fibroblasts (n=52 each) of long-term childhood cancer survivors with a first primary cancer only (N1), at least one second primary neoplasm (N2+), as well as tumor-free controls (N0) from the KiKme case-control study were matched by sex, age, and additionally by year of diagnosis and entity of the first primary cancer. Fibroblasts were exposed to 0.05 and 2 Gray (Gy) X-rays. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified with and without interaction terms for donor group and dose. Weighted co-expression networks of lncRNA and mRNA were constructed using WGCNA. Resulting gene sets (modules) were correlated to the radiation doses and analyzed for biological function. Results: After irradiation with 0.05Gy, few lncRNAs were differentially expressed (N0: AC004801.4; N1: PCCA-DT, AF129075.3, LINC00691, AL158206.1; N2+: LINC02315). In reaction to 2 Gy, the number of differentially expressed lncRNAs was higher (N0: 152, N1: 169, N2+: 146). After 2 Gy, AL109976.1 and AL158206.1 were prominently upregulated in all donor groups. The co-expression analysis identified two modules containing lncRNAs that were associated with 2 Gy (module1: 102 mRNAs and 4 lncRNAs: AL158206.1, AL109976.1, AC092171.5, TYMSOS, associated with p53-mediated reaction to DNA damage; module2: 390 mRNAs, 7 lncRNAs: AC004943.2, AC012073.1, AC026401.3, AC092718.4, MIR31HG, STXBP5-AS1, TMPO-AS1, associated with cell cycle regulation). Discussion: For the first time, we identified the lncRNAs AL158206.1 and AL109976.1 as involved in the radiation response in primary fibroblasts by differential expression analysis. The co-expression analysis revealed a role of these lncRNAs in the DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation post-IR. These transcripts may be targets in cancer therapy against radiosensitivity, as well as provide grounds for the identification of at-risk patients for immediate adverse reactions in healthy tissues. With this work we deliver a broad basis and new leads for the examination of lncRNAs in the radiation response.

Procedural meta-models for architectural design praxis
Creators: name: Brunetti, Gian Luca
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2013

description: This article discusses a procedure for the exploration of options in preliminary design. The procedure is based on the application of morphing procedures, which are typical of animation software, to building parametric analyses. The procedure is based on partially overlapping sequences of evaluations targeted on dynamic ad-hoc test-models and is aimed at the creation of data fields for the representation of the performance consequences of competing design sceneries. This representation is necessarily multidimensional and is based on parallel coordinates plots. The implementation of a specific test procedure of the kind described above is also discussed. The procedure has been supported by the use of contemporary analytical and representational systems and tools; namely, ESP-r, Radiance, Ggobi, and an extensible tool for the dynamic morphing of models through user-specified criteria, named OPTS, by the author.

description: Valleytronics is rapidly emerging as an exciting area of basic and applied research. In two dimensional systems, valley polarisation can dramatically modify physical properties through electron-electron interactions as demonstrated by such phenomena as the fractional quantum Hall effect and the metal-insulator transition. Here, we address the electrons' spin alignment in a magnetic field in silicon-on-insulator quantum wells under valley polarisation. In stark contrast to expectations from a non-interacting model, we show experimentally that less magnetic field can be required to fully spin polarise a valley-polarised system than a valley-degenerate one. Furthermore, we show that these observations are quantitatively described by parameter free ab initio quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We interpret the results as a manifestation of the greater stability of the spin and valley degenerate system against ferromagnetic instability and Wigner crystalisation which in turn suggests the existence of a new strongly correlated electron liquid at low electron densities.

description: Sustainability in architecture should involve environmental and social aspects and also economic aspects. However, in a design process budget issues usually outweigh ecological aspects. How can we then drive clients and builders to put more socially responsible buildings on the market that do not exceed the fixed budget but are environmentally friendly? This paper propose an economic and environmental assessment tool to aid private or public building designers and owners to find the global sustainability value of a green building within a life cycle perspective. Sustainable life cycle tools for buildings design and construction help to achieve successfully integrated architecture. The research here presented proposes a new point of view of the “time-cost-quality triangle” of Project Management, by introducing three further aspects: environment, society and aesthetics.

description: In recent times Life Cycle Approach in building design and construction was set up by means technical standards (e.g. CEN/TC 350) as well as comprehensive impact assessment methods (e.g. LEED® and ITACA). Although standards and methods may be considered as accurate and exhaustive, product and system design needs a further organisation and systematisation of those environmental requirements tricky to take into account in preliminary design. It stands to reason such trickiness becomes more important in industrial research projects. Starting with the assumption that there is an urgent need to overcome the gap between design and production, the paper deals with the outcomes of a research project focused on detailed designing, manufacturing and monitoring of a Living Wall System (LWS) aimed at carrying into action a Life Cycle Approach.

description: We study the evolution of satellite galaxies in clusters of the \textsc{c-eagle} simulations, a suite of 30 high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations based on the \textsc{eagle} code. We find that the majority of galaxies that are quenched at $z=0$ ($\gtrsim$ 80$\%$) reached this state in a dense environment (log$_{10}$M$_{200}$[M$_{\odot}$]$\geq$13.5). At low redshift, regardless of the final cluster mass, galaxies appear to reach their quenching state in low-mass clusters. Moreover, galaxies quenched inside the cluster that they reside in at $z=0$ are the dominant population in low-mass clusters, while galaxies quenched in a different halo dominate in the most massive clusters. When looking at clusters at $z>0.5$, their in situ quenched population dominates at all cluster masses. This suggests that galaxies are quenched inside the first cluster they fall into. After galaxies cross the cluster's $r_{200}$ they rapidly become quenched ($\lesssim$ 1Gyr). Just a small fraction of galaxies ($\lesssim 15\%$) is capable of retaining their gas for a longer period of time, but after 4Gyr, almost all galaxies are quenched. This phenomenon is related to ram pressure stripping and is produced when the density of the intracluster medium reaches a threshold of $ρ_{\rm ICM}$ $\sim 3 \times 10 ^{-5}$ n$_{\rm H}$ (cm$^{-3}$). These results suggest that galaxies start a rapid-quenching phase shortly after their first infall inside $r_{200}$ and that, by the time they reach $r_{500}$, most of them are already quenched.

description: Simulations of charge transport in amorphous semiconductors are often performed in microscopically sized systems. As a result, charge carrier mobilities become system-size dependent. We propose a simple method for extrapolating a macroscopic, nondispersive mobility from the system-size dependence of a microscopic one. The method is validated against a temperature-based extrapolation [Phys. Rev. B 82, 193202 (2010)]. In addition, we provide an analytic estimate of system sizes required to perform nondispersive charge transport simulations in systems with finite charge carrier density, derived from a truncated Gaussian distribution. This estimate is not limited to lattice models or specific rate expressions.
Undernutrition and malaria in pregnancy – a dangerous dyad?
Creators: name: Cates, Jordan E
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Abstract Background In low-resource settings, malaria and macronutrient undernutrition are major health problems in pregnancy, contributing significantly to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and fetal growth restriction. Affected pregnancies may result in stillbirth and neonatal death, and surviving children are at risk of poor growth and infection in infancy, and of non-communicable diseases in adulthood. Populations exposed to macronutrient undernutrition frequently reside in malaria-endemic areas, and seasonal peaks of low food supply and malaria transmission tend to coincide. Despite these geographic and temporal overlaps, integrated approaches to these twin challenges are infrequent. Discussion This opinion article examines the current evidence for malaria-macronutrition interactions and discusses possible mechanisms whereby macronutrient undernutrition and malaria may interact to worsen pregnancy outcomes. Macronutrient undernutrition dysregulates the immune response. In pregnant women, undernutrition may worsen the already increased susceptibility to malarial infection and could impair development of protective immunity to malaria, and is likely to exacerbate the impact of placental malaria on fetal growth. Malarial infection, in turn, can drive nutritional depletion; poor gestational weight gain and weight loss in pregnancy increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Despite a commendable number of studies and trials that, in isolation, attempt to address the challenges of malaria and undernutrition in pregnancy, few dare to venture beyond the ‘single disease – single solution’ paradigm. We believe that this may be a lost opportunity: researching malaria–nutrition interactions, and designing and implementing integrated interventions to prevent and treat these commonly co-existing and intertwining conditions, may markedly reduce the high burden of preterm birth and fetal growth restriction in affected areas. Conclusion We call for more collaboration between researchers studying malaria and nutrition in pregnancy, and propose a research agenda to address this important twin health problem.
The heat kernel of the asymmetric quantum Rabi model

description: In this paper we derive an explicit formula for the heat kernel of the asymmetric quantum Rabi model (AQRM), a symmetry breaking generalization of the quantum Rabi model (QRM). The method described here is an extension of the recently developed one for the heat kernel of the QRM based on the Trotter-Kato formula. In particular, the method is not based on path integrals or stochastic methods. In addition to the heat kernel formula, we present applications including the explicit formula for the partition function and the Weyl law for the distribution of the eigenvalues, obtained from the analytic continuation of the corresponding spectral zeta function.

Evaluation of Jobs for America's Graduates (Pilot)
Creators: name: McDonough, Aubrey
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: What is the impact of a high school dropout prevention program, Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) on high school graduation, college enrollment, and employment? The purpose of this pilot study is to collaborate with local partners to lay the foundations for a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of JAG on academic and labor market outcomes for low-income students at risk of failing to graduate. We aim to standardize a recruitment procedure for JAG that utilizes a lottery or other similarly random allocation of available program slots. We additionally plan to establish data sharing agreements and data transfer procedures with relevant administrative data holders.
Programming instruments as strategic devices for efficiency in the implementation processes of public utility works

description: The article represents a critical reading of the framework legislation on the creation of Public Works aimed at highlighting the important role it attributes to programming instruments as strategic devices for the efficient management of implementation processes. Starting with a summary of the critical issues detected in the performance practices and considering their main determining causes, the contribution emphasises the value of the impact that, for the purposes of the efficiency of procedural models and control devices, the effects induced by the outcomes of the programming period have on the entire realization process, and specifically on the planning phase. It also points out, in this regard, the importance of the “circularity” that characterizes the construction process.

description: Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) offers significant advantages for coherent population transfer between un- or weakly-coupled states and has the potential of realizing efficient quantum gate, qubit entanglement, and quantum information transfer. Here we report on the realization of STIRAP in a superconducting phase qutrit - a ladder-type system in which the ground state population is coherently transferred to the second-excited state via the dark state subspace. The result agrees well with the numerical simulation of the master equation, which further demonstrates that with the state-of-the-art superconducting qutrits the transfer efficiency readily exceeds $99\%$ while keeping the population in the first-excited state below $1\%$. We show that population transfer via STIRAP is significantly more robust against variations of the experimental parameters compared to that via the conventional resonant $π$ pulse method. Our work opens up a new venue for exploring STIRAP for quantum information processing using the superconducting artificial atoms.

description: We present some new results on the cohomology of a large scope of SL\_2-groups in degrees above the virtual cohomological dimension; yielding some partial positive results for the Quillen conjecture in rank one.

Demand for quality and design ideas competition: experimentation to discover good practices
Creators: name: Germanà, Maria Luisa
Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2013

description: The ideas competition process is suggested as a solution that might contribute to an improvement in architectural quality. There have been numerous experiences in Italy over the last decade, but they have not always produced positive and concrete results. Although procedures of international standing might refer to consolidated guide-lines, in most cases, on the local scale, the level of attention is insufficient to ensure ubiquitous quality in results. Participation in the work on the part of a jury, was welcomed as a useful opportunity to try out an approach, outside the academic sphere, based around the technological culture of design. Whatever the limitations of a local environment, it was felt that the experience might take on a generalizable significance, in contributing to thinking about the demand for quality as a precondition to the effectiveness of processes, an objective that is more indispensable than ever, and for which the public sector client has strategic roles and responsibilities.
