The biosynthetic mechanisms behind mid-chain functional groups of plant cuticular waxes
Creators: name: Gozdzik, Jedrzej
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The cuticles covering aerial organs of most plants contain a complex mixture of fatty acid-derived waxes, with various chain lengths and diverse functional groups. These waxes can form crystals which then dictate the physical properties of the surface, by accumulating either ubiquitous compounds or specialty components that are restricted to certain taxa. Relatively little is known about the biosynthesis of the specialty compounds, and whether unrelated species utilize the same mechanisms to form them. However, specialty wax biosynthesis must be elucidated to understand the formation of wax crystals and, therefore, the mechanisms underlying plant protection against drought and other stresses. The goal of my thesis is to further our understanding of the biosynthesis of specialty compounds ketones and β-diketones. Specifically, I aimed to: (i) carry out in-depth wax analyses of co-occurring compound classes, homologs and isomers with implications for possible biosynthetic mechanisms; (ii) identify and characterize enzymes involved in β-diketone formation based on comparative analysis of β-diketones and related compounds in closely and remotely related plant species. This work was done on species that were confirmed or suspected to comprise ketones and β-diketones. Furthermore, the species were chosen for their importance as food crops (Allium fistulosum, Triticum aestivum), ornamental plants (Dianthus species) or biofuels (Panicum virgatum). To achieve the first goal, I analyzed and compared the wax compositions of Allium fistulosum wild type and a wax-deficient mutant, which allowed for elucidation of the mechanism for ketone and ketol formation by carbon chain elongation, in contrast to the previously described hydroxylation mechanism. For the waxes of Dianthus species, I found characteristic chain length profiles that had implications for the mechanisms underlying β-diketone production. To achieve the second goal, I carried out wax analyses of several species across Poaceae subfamilies to investigate the ubiquity of their biosynthetic mechanisms. This was followed by characterization and functionalization of the main enzymes involved in β-diketone production. Overall, this work highlights the importance of understating the underlying mechanisms behind mid-chain functional compound production and the effects those mechanisms have on chain-length, deposition and therefore crystal formation.

description: We have searched for proton decays via p -> e^+ pi^0 and p -> mu^+ pi^0 using data from a 91.7 kiloton year exposure of Super-Kamiokande-I and a 49.2 kiloton year exposure of Super-Kamiokande-II. No candidate events were observed with expected backgrounds induced by atmospheric neutrinos of 0.3 events for each decay mode. From these results, we set lower limits on the partial lifetime of 8.2$\times10^{33}$ and 6.6$\times10^{33}$ years at 90% confidence level for p -> e^+ pi^0 and p -> mu^+ pi^0 modes, respectively.

DISCLOSING THE PHAGE-MEDIATED ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCES IN THE FOOD CHAIN
Creators: name: COLOMBO, STEFANO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this PhD project is to evaluate the presence and the role of viruses in food related environment with particular attention on the mobilization of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). During the last three years it has been investigated samples from different food related environments in order to fully characterize the respective microbial and viral communities with a focus on the identification of ARGs in virome and microbiomes. Water from aquaculture was the first sample analyzed (i) being a matrix that has a strong direct contact with the respective food; secondly, it has been analyzed water from Lambro river (ii) since it is used in the field?s irrigation so it directly came in contact with cereals and vegetables. Last project involved the analysis of air surrounding different moment of cheesemaking production (iii). Once again the viruses present in the air could deposit on the surface of the food and they can be ingested by humans. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was used to study both microbes and viruses, while 16S rRNA profiling analysis completed the characterization of the bacterial community. The three different projects showed how antibiotic resistance genes are wide spread in the viromes of different environments irrespective of the presence of associated anthropic activities. In this context, we hypothesize that the release of antibiotics molecules in the environment by the microbiota is a driving force able to maintain ARGs in the microbiome and, consequently, mobilize them in the virome. In addition, we should consider the effect of the intense environmental release of antibiotics by humans activities. For these reasons this novel approach even if really useful to collect a high amount of information on the sample, is insufficient to discriminate how ARGs have mobilized to the virome and from the virome to the microbiome. In this context, the development of mesocosms can be the turning point since this system let us to work with complex environmental samples but focusing the attention only at one variable at time as, for example, the supplementation of defined amount of antibiotics.

description: We perform a two-flavor dynamical lattice computation of the Isgur-Wise functions tau_{1/2} and tau_{3/2} at zero recoil in the static limit. We find tau_{1/2}(1) = 0.297(26) and tau_{3/2}(1) = 0.528(23) fulfilling Uraltsev's sum rule by around 80%. We also comment on a persistent conflict between theory and experiment regarding semileptonic decays of B mesons into orbitally excited P wave D mesons, the so-called "1/2 versus 3/2 puzzle", and we discuss the relevance of lattice results in this context.

description: HH 211 is a highly collimated jet originating from a nearby young Class 0 protostar. Here is a follow-up study of the jet with our previous observations at unprecedented resolution up to ~ 0.3" in SiO (J=8-7), CO (J=3-2), and SO (N_J=8_9-7_8). SiO, CO, and SO can all be a good tracer of the HH 211 jet, tracing the internal shocks in the jet. Although the emissions of these molecules show roughly the same morphology of the jet, there are detailed differences. In particular, the CO emission traces the jet closer to the source than the SiO and SO emissions. In addition, in the better resolved internal shocks, both the CO and SO emission are seen slightly ahead of the SiO emission. The jet is clearly seen on both sides of the source with more than one cycle of wiggle. The wiggle is reflection-symmetric about the source and can be reasonably fitted by an orbiting source jet model. The best-fit parameters suggest that the source itself could be a very low-mass protobinary with a total mass of ~ 60 M_Jup and a binary separation of ~ 4.6 AU. The abundances of SiO and SO in the gas phase are found to be highly enhanced in the jet as compared to the quiescent molecular clouds, even close to within 300 AU from the source where the dynamical time scale is <10 yrs. The abundance enhancements of these molecules are closely related to the internal shocks. The detected SiO is either the consequence of the release of Si-bearing material from dust grains or of its formation via gas chemistry in the shocks. The SO, on the other hand, seems to form via gas chemistry in the shocks.

REPROGRAMMING PLATFORMS. THE CO-PRODUCTION OF SCIENTIFIC AND GOVERNANCE INNOVATION IN TRANSLATIONAL INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL RESEARCH
Creators: name: MARELLI, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation charts the rise and articulation of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) as a prominent translational technology, invested with high expectations to finally deliver the as yet mostly unfulfilled promise of stem cell research. In a field catalyzed by the therapeutic promise, iPSCs have been adopted for widespread translational efforts, in the areas of disease modeling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine, and have progressively positioned themselves, through the mobilization of several biomedical platforms, as a key resource of stem cell-based bioeconomies. Specifically, drawing from extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this work targets distinct iPSC innovation pathways across the United States and the European Union, and conducts the analysis of distinct models of iPSC?based innovation implemented by three leading iPSC research organizations that have been spearheading translational iPSC research: the New York Stem Cell Foundation, the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and the European Bank for induced Pluripotent Stem Cells ? respectively, the largest stem cell research organization in the world; the largest private translational stem cell research institution in the United States; and one of the two flagship stem cell consortia launched in recent years at EU level. Through a comparative approach, this dissertation explores the co-productive relationship between scientific and governance innovation, and probes the distinct ways in which some of the leading research institutions in the field design and implement governance arrangements and practices of standardization in order to harness the innovation potential of iPSC-based technologies. Furthermore, it accounts for the socio-political salience of these emerging institutional configurations, and traces the assembly of distinct constituencies claiming jurisdiction in this domain of biomedicine.

ZEIN CODING SEQUENCE ANALYSES FOR MAIZE GENOTYPING AND ZEIN PROTEIN MANIPULATION TOWARDS THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE MAIZE SEED PROTEIN QUALITY
Creators: name: PICCININI, SARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Maize (Zea mays) is an important source of proteins for human and animal nutrition. However, because of the lack of lysine and the low content in methionine and tryptophan, maize?s proteins are of low quality. These deficiencies mainly result from the low levels of these essential amino acids in the zein storage proteins, which account for 50% of the total protein in mature seed. In this context, the first aim of this PhD thesis has been to develop artificial zein genes encoding for polypeptides with a higher content in lysine and methionine, and capable to be sorted and correctly accumulated into the endosperm, as occur for natural zein polypeptides. Two strategies have been employed for maize bio-fortification. First, we exploited the natural heterogeneity among ?-zein genes to create a synthetic gene, ZRK, in which six arginine residues have been substituted with lysine. Then, by combining the N-terminal methionine-rich G3 sequence and the C-terminal lysine-rich region of Histone3 and Histone4 of maize, the G3H3 and G3H4 artificial genes were created, respectively. In vitro and in vivo expression analyses of these genes showed that all synthetic proteins are synthesized and accumulated into the ER membranes of either the rabbit reticulocyte/canine membrane system or of transformed tobacco protoplasts. The second aim of this thesis has been to use the wide heterogeneity of zein gene family to obtain an intra-species recognition tool, or individual barcode, for inbreds and Lombard varieties discrimination. Lombard varieties and maize inbreds were analysed by 2D gel protein fractionations and DNA gel blot analyses. For each genotype the 2D and Southern blot pattern were converted into a binary code, and then into a barcode. In both the approaches, each genotype was univocally identified making zeins a valuable tool for identification of maize germplasm.
GLI ASPETTI DI DIRITTO INTERNAZIONALE PRIVATO E PROCESSUALE DEL FALLIMENTO DI GRUPPI BANCARI MULTINAZIONALI

description: In the absence of an international agreement among states, insolvencies of multinational groups of banks could in principle be dealt with only according to a so called ?territorial approach?. Under the latter, every bank of a given group is considered to be an independent entity with the consequence that several insolvency proceedings are opened with respect to each of them in any of the states of their seats, different laws are applied and every court will try to grab as much assets as it can in order to satisfy its own local creditors. The five multinational banking defaults occurred in the last thirty years (BCCI, Fortis, Dexia, Kaupthing and Lehman Brothers) had to deal with such a scenario. Fortis, Dexia and Kaupthing had been resolved through a territorial approach. On the contrary, liquidators and courts involved in the BCCI and Lehman insolvencies (respectively begun in 1991 and 2008) tried to overcome the massive inconveniences that would have derived from a piecemeal liquidation by voluntarily cooperating and coordinating the proceedings, through ?cross-border insolvency agreements? (also called ?protocols?). Inspiration came from a more consolidated experience matured in this same direction in the corporate groups insolvencies. Awareness has then arisen - stronger than before - among states, practitioners and academics, of the need to regulate these insolvencies ex ante and once for all, in order to avoid the uncertainties of a case-by-case solution. Quite a few international organizations, such as the EU, the IMF, the Basel Committee and the Financial Stability Board, have been and still are pursuing this aim by preparing a considerable number of either soft law or hard law instruments for adoption by states.

description: The explicit determinations of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for trapping problem are limited to some simple structure, e.g., regular lattices and regular geometrical fractals, and determining MFPT for random walks on other media, especially complex real networks, is a theoretical challenge. In this paper, we investigate a simple random walk on the the pseudofractal scale-free web (PSFW) with a perfect trap located at a node with the highest degree, which simultaneously exhibits the remarkable scale-free and small-world properties observed in real networks. We obtain the exact solution for the MFPT that is calculated through the recurrence relations derived from the structure of PSFW. The rigorous solution exhibits that the MFPT approximately increases as a power-law function of the number of nodes, with the exponent less than 1. We confirm the closed-form solution by direct numerical calculations. We show that the structure of PSFW can improve the efficiency of transport by diffusion, compared with some other structure, such as regular lattices, Sierpinski fractals, and T-graph. The analytical method can be applied to other deterministic networks, making the accurate computation of MFPT possible.

Proposal for a Raman X-ray Free Electron Laser

description: A scheme for an X-ray free electron laser is proposed, based on a Raman process occurring during the interaction between a moderately relativistic bunch of free electrons, and twin intense short pulse lasers interfering to form a transverse standing wave along the electron trajectories. In the high intensity regime of the Kapitza-Dirac effect, the laser ponderomotive potential forces the electrons into a lateral oscillatory motion, resulting in a Raman scattering process. I show how a parametric process is triggered, resulting in the amplification of the Stokes component of the Raman-scattered photons. Experimental operating parameters and implementations, based both on LINAC and Laser Wakefield Acceleration techniques, are discussed.

description: Si studia il dialogo intertestuale tra l?opera di Stazio e quella di Claudiano, si mettono in luce ? nei versi di quest?ultimo ? le pi� significative riprese di temi e stilemi staziani. Accertata la persistente memoria di Stazio in Claudiano, si verifica la pertinenza dei rimandi sinora segnalati da editori e commentatori e si integrano le osservazioni critiche ritenute valide attraverso varie argomentazioni e secondo alcuni assi tematici di rilievo in entrambi gli autori. Seguendo i criteri di ricerca intertestuale e la classificazione dei passi paralleli illustrati nel capitolo I, l?indagine comparativa si articola in sette sezioni, su altrettanti temi: il potere nell?universo mitico, quello tra gli uomini, la concezione e la raffigurazione della discordia e della guerra, la valorizzazione della cultura, l?encomio nuziale, l?immagine della madre. Il presente contributo, al di l� di coincidenze verbali che ? pur non essendo casuali ? si possono spiegare come reminiscenze inconsapevoli, approfondisce il rapporto tra i due poeti nel segno dell?afferenza dei loro testi a una koin� stilistico-tematica stratificatasi nel tempo ma soprattutto nel segno di un?imitatio diretta, creativa e deliberata. I testi di Claudiano si presentano dunque alla lettura arricchiti di riflessi e significati provenienti dalla lezione dell?illustre predecessore.

description: The dynamical nucleus-nucleus potentials for fusion reactions 40Ca+40Ca, 48Ca+208Pb and 126Sn+130Te are studied with the improved quantum molecular dynamics (ImQMD) model together with the extended Thomas-Fermi approximation for the kinetic energies of nuclei. The obtained fusion barrier for 40Ca+40Ca is in good agreement with the extracted fusion barrier from the measured fusion excitation function, and the depth of the fusion pockets are close to the results of time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations. The energy dependence of fusion barrier is also investigated. For heavy fusion system, the fusion pocket becomes shallow and almost disappears for symmetric systems and the obtained potential at short distances is higher than the adiabatic potential.

Imagination in thought and action
Creators: name: ICHINO, ANNA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis I ask what the role of imagination is in our representation of the world and interactions with it. A standard answer to this question is that imagination has no direct role: imagination?s proper function is rather to allow us to disengage from reality; its motivating power, if it has any, is basically limited to children?s pretence. I argue that this standard answer is mistaken: imagination?s role is much larger than that. I consider a number of cases ? including cases of superstitious and religious actions, or so-called ?expressive behaviours? ? where we are moved to act by representational states that are not sensitive to real-world evidence, nor integrated in our whole system of beliefs. I argue that at least some degree of sensitivity to evidence and inferential integration are necessary for a state to count as belief; hence the representational states that play the relevant motivating role in the cases I consider cannot be beliefs. I suggest that imagination is the best alternative candidate. This supports an account of imagination according to which its functional profile is the same of belief with respect to emotional and behavioural outputs, while it critically differs from belief with respect to cognitive inputs (and related normative constraints). Imaginings dispose us to act and react in the same ways in which belief do; but they are not (nor ought be) formed and maintained in response to real-world evidence as beliefs are (and ought to be). On this view, many cognitions that are standardly classified as beliefs ? like superstitious, ideological and religious ?beliefs? ? turn out to be better understood as imaginings. Imagination does not just allow us to ?escape? from reality into fictional worlds, but plays a key, direct role in our representation of (and practical engagement with) reality.

description: Strongly correlated electron liquids which occur in quantizing magnetic fields reveal a cornucopia of fascinating quantum phenomena such as fractionally charged quasiparticles, anyonic statistics, topological order, and many others. Probing these effects in GaAs-based systems, where electron interactions are relatively weak, requires sub-kelvin temperatures and record-high electron mobilities, rendering some of the most interesting states too fragile and difficult to access. This prompted a quest for new high-mobility systems with stronger electron interactions. Recently, fractional-quantized Hall effect was observed in suspended graphene (SG), a free-standing monolayer of carbon, where it was found to persist up to T=10 K. The best results in those experiments were obtained on micron-size flakes, on which only two-terminal transport measurements could be performed. Here we pose and solve the problem of extracting transport coefficients of a fractional quantum Hall state from the two-terminal conductance. We develop a method, based on the conformal invariance of two-dimensional magnetotransport, and illustrate its use by analyzing the measurements on SG. From the temperature dependence of longitudinal conductivity, extracted from the measured two-terminal conductance, we estimate the energy gap of quasiparticle excitations in the fractional-quantized nu=1/3 state. The gap is found to be significantly larger than in GaAs-based structures, signaling much stronger electron interactions in suspended graphene. Our approach provides a new tool for the studies of quantum transport in suspended graphene and other nanoscale systems.

description: Practice firms provide several benefits in terms of engagement and motivation of students, but more empirical evidence is claimed for demonstrating their real impact on learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is twofold. On the one hand, to explore the competence-based learning developed by students enrolled in practice firms. On the other, to analyze the influence of these competences on the global assessment given by students to this methodology. The results demonstrate that a high number of generic skills showed a significant improvement after participating in practice firms, being this improvement larger for the acquisition of abilities to work in an international context, elementary computing skills, the processing and analysis of financial information and data, and budget control development. The results also pointed out that learning capacity and leadership were the generic competences with significant impact on the assessment made by students, while the contribution to reach the goals of a company and providing advice were the most significant specific managerial skills influencing the students’ assessment of practice firms.

BOTANICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE ASSESSMENT OF SOIL BIOENGINEERING WORKS
Creators: name: GIUPPONI, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: The research described in this PhD dissertation was conducted during the period 2014-2016 at the Centre of Applied Studies for the Sustainable Management and Protection of Mountain Areas (Ge.S.Di.Mont. - University of Milan) in Edolo (BS) with the objective of devising botanical methods/tools that could be useful for improving the evaluation of soil bioengineering works in mountain areas. This research has led to the formulation of two floristic-vegetational indices: the Ecological Index of Maturity (EIM) and the Index of Ecological Success (IES). These indices were applied to three study areas located in mountainous areas of Lombardy (Northern Italy) affected by landslides which were followed by soil stabilization works using soil bioengineering techniques. On the basis of the results obtained, the indices have proven practical and functional for the evaluation of soil bioengineering works for slope stabilization as they consider their effectiveness in stabilizing soil as well as their efficiency in minimizing human impact on the ecosystem and landscape. This thesis also reports research to assess the effectiveness of the chromatographic fingerprinting of the extracts of fine roots for the identification of plant species. The results obtained showed that the analysis of chromatographic fingerprints is an effective method for the identification of some of the species studied whereas it is less useful for the identification of other species. This suggested ideas for further research on this topic and application both in soil bioengineering (e.g.: the evaluation of the success of the fine roots of plants used for soil stabilization) and in other sectors dealing with the study of the rhizosphere and plant (root)-soil interaction.

description: The light emission rate of a single quantum dot can be drastically enhanced by embedding it in a resonant semiconductor microcavity. This phenomenon is known as the Purcell effect, and the coupling strength between emitter and cavity can be quantified by the Purcell factor. The most natural way for probing the Purcell effect is a time-resolved measurement. However, this approach is not always the most convenient one, and alternative approaches based on a continuous-wave measurement are often more appropriate. Various signatures of the Purcell effect can indeed be observed using continuous-wave measurements (increase of the pump rate needed to saturate the quantum dot emission, enhancement of its emission rate at saturation, change of its radiation pattern), signatures which are encountered when a quantum dot is put on-resonance with the cavity mode. All these observations potentially allow one to estimate the Purcell factor. In this paper, we carry out these different types of measurements for a single quantum dot in a pillar microcavity and we compare their reliability. We include in the data analysis the presence of independent, non-resonant emitters in the microcavity environment, which are responsible for a part of the observed fluorescence.

description: We experimentally demonstrate that the quantum entanglement between amplitude and phase quadratures of optical modes produced from a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) can be enhanced and manipulated phase-sensitively by means of another NOPA. When both NOPAs operate at de-amplification, the entanglement degree is increased at the cavity resonance of the second NOPA. When the first NOPA operates at de-amplification and the second one at amplification, the spectral features of the correlation variances are significantly changed. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical expectation.
SEARCHING FOR NEW GENETIC PATHWAYS IN EARLY FLOWER DEVELOPMENT OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA

description: During the production of flowers in Arabidopsis thaliana many key decisions are taken in a short lapse of time. The floral primordium has to be positioned correctly on the inflorescence meristem and it has to grow to the required dimension before flower organs are themselves positioned and differentiate. All these tasks are strictly controlled at a molecular level and the genetic networks that underlies them have been intensively studied in the last 30 years. Nevertheless we are far from having a comprehensive knowledge on this process and the genetic mechanism controlling the arise, identity of the floral primordium and the timing of its developmental phases are widely unknown. We have identified new genes potentially involved in early flower development with two approaches: (i) Analysis of the specific transcriptome of the earliest stages of flower development and (ii) Co-expression analysis using APETALA1 and LEAFY, two genes that determine the identity of the floral meristem, which is the earliest stage of flower development. We have observed that multiple REM transcription factors are co-expressed with APETALA1 and LEAFY. Characterizing insertional mutants for genes potentially involved in early flower development and REM transcription factors, we have rarely observed a phenotype in the stages under study. This is consistent with the hypothesis that genes controlling early flower development are often functionally redundant. We are implementing various methods to overcome functional redundancy implementing analysis of gene families, multiple RNA interference and gene targeting strategies.

description: The order Alcyonacea Lamouroux, 1816 (Octocorallia: Anthozoa: Cnidaria) is a species-rich group comprising soft corals and sea fans, also known as gorgonians. Alcyonaceans are perennial, long-lived and can inhabit up to 70% of coastal reef habitats. Despite this, alcyonacean taxonomy is poorly resolved, and substantial knowledge gaps remain in regards to the biology, ecology and responses to environmental change of species within this taxon. Alcyonaceans occur in all oceans of the world; however, few studies have examined temperate assemblages. Although alcyonaceans have been observed and collected from the Tamar River estuary, northern Tasmania, virtually nothing is known about these species.This study examined colony and sclerite morphology, and variation in the mitochondrial marker, mtMutS, to describe the alcyonaceans of the Tamar River estuary and their relationships with previously described species. In addition, variation in the distribution and abundance of alcyonaceans and the wider rocky reef community structure was determined among six depth categories and five sites in the lower Tamar River estuary, using photoquadrats.In total, nine alcyonacean species were described from the Tamar River estuary, including two novel genera and six novel species, along with one species (Drifa gaboensis) which represents a first record for Tasmanian waters. Although exhibiting a large range of morphological variation, these novel genera and species can be distinguished from previously described taxa on the basis of colony and sclerite morphology, and, in some cases, mtMutS sequences. The benthic survey revealed the highest abundance and diversity of alcyonaceans at Fish Beacon, the most marine site closest to the estuary mouth, where alcyonaceans comprised up to 14% cover of the benthic assemblage. Moreover, rocky reef community structure varied with depth and longitudinal distance from the mouth of the estuary. This study has established detailed baseline knowledge of the Tamar River estuary alcyonacean assemblage and rocky reef communities that is important for ongoing monitoring and informing future management of this unique estuary.

description: We present a few--mode Galerkin model for convection in binary fluid layers subject to an approximation to realistic horizontal boundary conditions at positive separation ratios. The model exhibits convection patterns in form of rolls and squares. The stable squares at onset develop into stable rolls at higher thermal driving. In between, a regime of a so-called crossroll structure is found. The results of our few--mode model are in good agreement with both experiments and numerical multi--mode simulations.

description: La tesi � dedicata allo studio di varie propriet� qualitative possedute dalle soluzioni di equazioni ellittiche poste nello spazio euclideo. L'attenzione principale del lavoro � rivolta a soluzioni intere di equazioni anisotrope/eterogenee che mostrano qualche genere di propriet� di simmetria e, in particolare, che posseggono simmetria unidimensionale. L'elaborato � diviso in due parti. La prima parte � riservata ad equazioni alle derivate parziali locali, mentre la seconda si concentra su di una classe meno usuale di equazioni non locali, determinate da operatori integrali.

description: We obtained the spectral function of the graphite H point using high resolution angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The extracted width of the spectral function (inverse of the photo-hole lifetime) near the H point is approximately proportional to the energy as expected from the linearly increasing density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy. This is well accounted by our electron-phonon coupling theory considering the peculiar electronic DOS near the Fermi level. And we also investigated the temperature dependence of the peak widths both experimentally and theoretically. The upper bound for the electron-phonon coupling parameter is ~0.23, nearly the same value as previously reported at the K point. Our analysis of temperature dependent ARPES data at K shows that the energy of phonon mode of graphite has much higher energy scale than 125K which is dominant in electron-phonon coupling.

description: On the basis of the recently developed universal decline law of classical novae, we propose prediction formulae for supersoft X-ray on and off times, i.e., t_{X-on} = (10 \pm 1.8) t_3 days and t_{X-off} = (5.3 \pm 1.4) (t_3)^{1.5} days for 8 < t_3 < 80 days. We have determined the absolute magnitude of our free-free emission model light curves and derived maximum magnitude vs. rate of decline (MMRD) relations. Our theoretical MMRD relations are governed by two parameters, one is the white dwarf (WD) mass and the other is the initial envelope mass at a nova outburst; this second parameter explains the scatter of MMRD points of individual novae. Our theoretical MMRD relations are also in good agreement with the well-known empirical formulae. We also show another empirical relation of M_V(15) ~ -5.7 \pm 0.3 based on the absolute magnitude of our model light curves, i.e., the absolute magnitude at 15 days after optical maximum is almost common among various novae. We analyzed ten nova light curves, in which a supersoft X-ray phase was detected, and estimated their WD masses. The models best reproducing simultaneously the optical and supersoft X-ray observations are ONeMg WDs with 1.28 \pm 0.04 M_\sun (V598 Pup), 1.23 \pm 0.05 M_\sun (V382 Vel), 1.15 \pm 0.06 M_\sun (V4743 Sgr), 1.13 \pm 0.06 M_\sun (V1281 Sco), 1.2 \pm 0.05 M_\sun (V597 Pup), 1.06 \pm 0.07 M_\sun (V1494 Aql), 1.04 \pm 0.07 M_\sun (V2467 Cyg), 1.07 \pm 0.07 M_\sun (V5116 Sgr), 1.05 \pm 0.05 M_\sun (V574 Pup), and a CO WD with 0.93 \pm 0.08 M_\sun (V458 Vul). The newly proposed relationships are consistent with the emergence or decay epoch of the supersoft X-ray phase of these ten novae. Finally, we discuss the mechanism of shock-origin hard X-ray component in relation to the emergence of companion star from the WD envelope.
