description: We study the behaviour of scalar perturbations in the radiation-dominated era of Randall-Sundrum braneworld cosmology by numerically solving the coupled bulk and brane master wave equations. We find that density perturbations with wavelengths less than a critical value (set by the bulk curvature length) are amplified during horizon re-entry. This means that the radiation era matter power spectrum will be at least an order of magnitude larger than the predictions of general relativity (GR) on small scales. Conversely, we explicitly confirm from simulations that the spectrum is identical to GR on large scales. Although this magnification is not relevant for the cosmic microwave background or measurements of large scale structure, it will have some bearing on the formation of primordial black holes in Randall-Sundrum models.

description: We report the observation of nonclassical light generated via photon blockade in a photonic crystal cavity with a strongly coupled quantum dot. By tuning the frequency of the probe laser with respect to the cavity and quantum dot resonance we can probe the system in either photon blockade or photon-induced tunneling regime. The transition from one regime to the other is confirmed by the measurement of the second order correlation that changes from anti-bunching to bunching.

description: Dynamic Algorithm Configuration (DAC) aims to dynamically control a target algorithm's hyperparameters in order to improve its performance. Several theoretical and empirical results have demonstrated the benefits of dynamically controlling hyperparameters in domains like evolutionary computation, AI Planning or deep learning. Replicating these results, as well as studying new methods for DAC, however, is difficult since existing benchmarks are often specialized and incompatible with the same interfaces. To facilitate benchmarking and thus research on DAC, we propose DACBench, a benchmark library that seeks to collect and standardize existing DAC benchmarks from different AI domains, as well as provide a template for new ones. For the design of DACBench, we focused on important desiderata, such as (i) flexibility, (ii) reproducibility, (iii) extensibility and (iv) automatic documentation and visualization. To show the potential, broad applicability and challenges of DAC, we explore how a set of six initial benchmarks compare in several dimensions of difficulty.

description: Over the past two decades, the craft beer sector has developed significantly both in Europe and Italy. Through a SWOT analysis, the research highlights the main critical points of the Tuscan craft beer chain, in particular the use of local raw materials, which are mainly linked to the cereal malting process currently carried out by large non-regional plants. The research also shows that the high quality and the strong product differentiation are the main strength of the sector, since they meet the preferences of a niche of consumers attracted by products characterized by a strong bond with the territory. The major risks concern the introduction of “craft” lines by multinationals and the entry of new craft breweries, which are not in line with the microbreweries’ quality standards.

Caratterizzazione della struttura genetica della popolazione di Campora

description: Study of a genetically isolated human population. We aim to study complex traits (mostly cardiovascular diseases) using isolated population as model study. We identified a village (Campora) that could be considered a good candidate as model study due to empirical evidences of geographical isolation. In this study we confirm these evidences with the analysis of the genetic structure of the population. We found the presence of the main features of isolated population: small number of founders, increased homozigosity and extended region of linkage disequilibrium.
Data from the registry office were collected, and we were able to build a pedigree spanning the last four centuries which includes about 11000 individuals. In this pedigree we determined the number of independent maternal and paternal lineages that gave rise to the current population according to pedigree data. We used the lineages as a starting point for the determination of the number of founders from which the current population derives, using molecular marker analysis.
The determination of female founders was done using both sequence and restriction polymorphisms of the mtDNA. We found that 93% of the current female native population derives from 17 female founders. The determination of male founders was carried out using polymorphisms of the Y chromosome. We found that 90% of the current native male population derives from 20 male founders
It has been well demonstrated that isolated populations show extended regions of Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) as a consequence of the general increased homozygosity. Therefore, we first characterized in the Campora population the region on Xq13 that had already been analyzed in different kinds of populations including both isolated and open populations and then we evaluated the extend of LD in the whole genome. In both cases we find out that in Campora LD extends over longer distance respect to outbred populations.
All these experimental evidences confirm the empirical ones and allow us to consider Campora as a good model of genetic isolated population.

description: It was recently shown, that in a class of tensor-multi-scalar theories of gravity with a nontrivial target space metric, there exist scalarized neutron star solutions. An important property of these compact objects is that the scalar charge is zero and therefore, the binary pulsar experiments can not impose constraints based on the absence of scalar dipole radiation. Moreover, the structure of the solutions is very complicated. For a fixed central energy density up to three neutron star solutions can exist -- one general relativistic and two scalarized, that is quite different from the scalarization in other alternative theories of gravity. In the present paper we address the stability of these solutions using two independent approaches -- solving the linearized radial perturbation equations and performing nonlinear simulations in spherical symmetry. The results show that the change of stability occurs at the maximum mass models and all solutions before that point are stable. This leads to the interesting consequence that there exists a stable part of the scalarized branch close to the bifurcation point where the mass of the star increases with the decrease of the central energy density.

description: [Abridged] We present the first simultaneous radio, X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical spectroscopic observations of the M8.5 dwarf TVLM513-46546, with a duration of 9 hours. These observations are part of a program to study the origin of magnetic activity in ultracool dwarfs, and its impact on chromospheric and coronal emission. Here we detect steady quiescent radio emission superposed with multiple short-duration, highly polarized flares; there is no evidence for periodic bursts previously reported for this object, indicating their transient nature. We also detect soft X-ray emission, with L_X/L_bol~10^-4.9, the faintest to date for any object later than M5, and a possible weak X-ray flare. TVLM513-46546 continues the trend of severe violation of the radio/X-ray correlation in ultracool dwarfs, by nearly 4 orders of magnitude. From the optical spectroscopy we find that the Balmer line luminosity exceeds the X-ray luminosity by a factor of a few, suggesting that, unlike in early M dwarfs, chromospheric heating may not be due to coronal X-ray emission. More importantly, we detect a sinusoidal H-alpha light curve with a period of 2 hr, matching the rotation period of TVLM513-46546. This is the first known example of such Balmer line behavior, which points to a co-rotating chromospheric hot spot or an extended magnetic structure, with a covering fraction of about 50%. This feature may be transitory based on the apparent decline in light curve peak during the four observed maxima. From the radio data we infer a large scale steady magnetic field of ~100 G, in good agreement with the value required for confinement of the X-ray emitting plasma. The radio flares, on the other hand, are produced in a component of the field with a strength of ~3 kG and a likely multi-polar configuration.

SELF-MONITORING OF BLOOD GLUCOSE: EFFECTS ON ADHERENCE TO LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION AMONG PREDIABETIC ADULTS
Creators: name: Aron, Barbara Barlow
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Research indicates that diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a worldwide health problem, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Prediabetes is a major risk factor for developing Type 2 DM, with approximately 5%–10% of cases per year progressing to DM. This study was designed to determine whether home self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) encourages adherence to a lifestyle modification in an effort to decrease or delay the development of Type 2 DM. An experimental design study was used, with random assignment of subjects to groups. Recruitment involved a convenience sampling of 40 primary care patients. Inclusion criteria included males or females, ages 40–75, and a fasting plasma sugar (FBS) between 100 and 125 mg/dL. Both groups received a lifestyle modification with the treatment group performing SMBG at home over 3 months. Outcomes of interest were self-efficacy, fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and lipid levels. Paired and independent sample t tests were used to compare the differences within and between groups on all variables. Analysis of demographic and background variables were performed using Pearson’s correlation, paired and independent sample t tests, and analysis of variance. iii Results showed the treatment group with a significant increase in self-efficacy compared to the control group (p < .008) and from baseline to follow-up (p = .000). A significant weight loss and decrease in BMI and triglycerides was seen in both groups (p < .05) with a decrease in FBS in the combined group from baseline to follow-up (p = .022). In prediabetics, SMBG increases self-efficacy, which has been shown to favorably affect health behaviors. An in-office, 20-minute lifestyle modification led to significant decreases in weight, BMI, FBS, and triglyceride levels.

description: We report here first extensive measurements of the temperature dependence of phonon density of states of BaFe2As2, the parent compound of the newly discovered FeAs-based superconductors, using inelastic neutron scattering. The experiments were carried out on the thermal time-of-flight neutron spectrometer IN4 at the ILL on a polycrystalline sample. There is no appreciable change in the spectra between T = 10 K and 200 K, although the sample undergoes a magnetic as well as a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural phase transition at 140 K. This indicates a rather harmonic phonon system. Shell model lattice dynamical calculations based on interatomic potentials are carried out to characterize the phonon data. The calculations predict a shift of the Ba-phonons to higher energies at 4 GPa. The average energy of the phonons of the Ba-sublattice is also predicted to increase on partial substitution of Ba by K to Ba0.6K0.4. The calculations show good agreement with the experimental phonon spectra, and also with the specific heat data from the literature.

description: The highly radiopure $\simeq$ 250 kg NaI(Tl) DAMA/LIBRA set-up is running at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N.. In this paper the first result obtained by exploiting the model independent annual modulation signature for Dark Matter (DM) particles is presented. It refers to an exposure of 0.53 ton$\times$yr. The collected DAMA/LIBRA data satisfy all the many peculiarities of the DM annual modulation signature. Neither systematic effects nor side reactions can account for the observed modulation amplitude and contemporaneously satisfy all the several requirements of this DM signature. Thus, the presence of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo is supported also by DAMA/LIBRA and, considering the former DAMA/NaI and the present DAMA/LIBRA data all together (total exposure 0.82 ton$\times$yr), the presence of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo is supported at 8.2 $σ$ C.L..

description: In this paper we propose a special computational device which uses light rays for solving the Hamiltonian path problem on a directed graph. The device has a graph-like representation and the light is traversing it by following the routes given by the connections between nodes. In each node the rays are uniquely marked so that they can be easily identified. At the destination node we will search only for particular rays that have passed only once through each node. We show that the proposed device can solve small and medium instances of the problem in reasonable time.

We discuss the mesoscopic aspects of such a system within a one-dimensional scattering matrix approach and calculate the scattering properties of quasi-particles at a superfluid-Mott-insulator interface as an elementary building block to describe transport phenomena across such a boundary. We apply the formalism to determine the heat conductivity through a Mott layer, a quantity relevant to describe thermalization processes in the optical lattice setup. We identify a critical hopping below which the heat conductivity is strongly suppressed.

Metallotioneine nei rettili squamati: evoluzione e loro ruolo nei processi di disintossicazione da metalli pesanti
Creators: name: Trinchella, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2006

description: Le metallotioneine, proteine pressochè ubiquitarie caratterizzate da un’elevata capacità di legare metalli pesanti grazie all’alto contenuto di cisteina, possono essere considerate il prodotto di un processo evolutivo iniziatosi migliaia di anni fa per fronteggiare esigenze metaboliche degli organismi correlate all’omeostasi e alla disintossicazione dei metalli pesanti. L’affermarsi negli organismi delle metallotioneine ha senza dubbio contribuito alla sopravvivenza degli stessi, con la conseguente conservazione nel corso dell’evoluzione di questa proteina. L’evoluzione molecolare del gene codificante la metallotioneina è stata particolarmente studiata in Invertebrati e Vertebrati quali Osteitti, Anfibi, Uccelli e Mammiferi. Questi studi hanno evidenziato un elevato grado di polimorfismo a carico del gene, con la conseguente presenza nelle cellule di svariate isoforme di tale proteina. Lo studio dell’evoluzione del gene codificante la metallotioneina nei Rettili risulta interessante per l’assenza di informazioni sulla famiglia multigenica della metallotioneina in questi Vertebrati e per verificare se anche nei Rettili è presente l’elevato grado di polimorfismo a carico di questo gene. Il presente lavoro di tesi ha l’obiettivo di studiare nei Rettili Squamati:
•	l’evoluzione molecolare della famiglia multigenica delle metallotioneine;
•	il coinvolgimento delle metallotioneine nella risposta delle cellule per esposizioni acute e/o croniche al cadmio. Lo studio della risposta molecolare che si attiva nelle cellule in seguito ad esposizione al cadmio è giustificato dal particolare interesse che desta la contaminazione da parte di questo metallo, la cui distribuzione attuale nei comparti ambientali è particolarmente alterata. L’azione nociva del cadmio è ben nota, ma sono limitati i dati scientifici sulle correlazioni tra l’assorbimento nella cellula di questo metallo e la sintesi di molecole protettive quali le metallotioneine. Gli alterati livelli di queste molecole nei tessuti degli organismi possono rappresentare un indice specifico, anche se indiretto, di inquinamento ambientale da metalli pesanti. E’ presumibile che i Rettili possano essere degli ottimi bioindicatori della contaminazione ambientale da cadmio, in quanto hanno colonizzato numerosi habitat (acque dolci e salate, ambienti terrestri) e, quali Vertebrati, sono all’apice della piramide alimentare. I risultati descritti in questa tesi chiariscono aspetti peculiari della struttura primaria della metallotioneina dei Rettili; dimostrano l’assenza di polimorfismo a carico del gene codificante la metallotioneina nei Rettili e dimostrano che la metallotioneina può fungere da rapido agente detossificante in seguito ad un’esposizione acuta al cadmio, mentre non risulta altrettanto efficace per un’esposizione di tipo cronico.

description: A Probabilistic Neural Network model has been used for automated classification of ELODIE stellar spectral library consisting of about 2000 spectra into 158 known spectro-luminosity classes. The full spectra with 561 flux bins and a PCA reduced set of 57, 26 and 16 components have been used for the training and test sessions. The results shows a spectral type classification accuracy of 3.2 sub-spectral type and luminosity class accuracy of 2.7 for the full spectra and an accuracy of 3.1 and 2.6 respectively with the PCA set. This technique will be useful for future upcoming large data bases and their rapid classification.

description: In the last years, the high volatility of the dairy market has exposed farmers to a strong income risk, which is expected to increase. In this context, with the reg. (EU) 1305/2013, European Union tried to encourage the adoption of risk management tools such as insurance, mutual funds and the Income Stabilisation Tool (IST). The IST is a mutual fund that compensates farmers for severe income losses, but nowadays it is still very little applied. The reform of reg. (EU) 1305/2013 by the so-called Omnibus Regulation, introduced relevant innovation allowing for sector-specific IST, a reduced threshold (20%) and the use of indexes. The simulation of a sector-specific IST under Omnibus Regulation is performed on 167 farms belonging to a dairy cooperative in Veneto Region (Italy).

Heidegger interprete del “Sofista”
Creators: name: Peluso, Rosalia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II

description: Le letture heideggeriane dell’antico si svolgono sempre sotto il segno dell’eccentricità, in nome di un’ermeneutica che non vuole limitarsi ad oggettivare il passato ma intende riappropriarsene, in vista di una sua riattivazione nel topos senza luogo del pensiero dell’essere. L’interpretazione del Sofista di Platone, offerta agli studenti di Marburg nel semestre invernale 1924-’25, è compiuta nel rispetto delle premesse essenziali dell’ontologia di Heidegger, in particolare della sua determinazione in senso esistenziale. L’insidiosa caccia al sofista si svela così la battaglia eterna del pensare che nega ogni legittimità al “diritto di non pensare”. La paradigmaticità che guida il disegno platonico di una polemologia di concetti rende il sofista l’anti-filosofo e lo Straniero, il personaggio concettuale che dirige l’architettura demolitoria della tradizione e, solo per una rinnovata fedeltà alle cose del pensiero, può ricostruire senza imbarazzo il mosaico della questione dell’essere, è l’antonomasia del pensatore, estraneo alla terra, divino-demoniaco agli occhi della moltitudine, che giunge da lontano per confutare e giudicare la verità dei logoi. Articolato sotto il segno della discorsività, carattere strutturale del Dasein, il tema della differenza, la cui individuazione è la conquista teoretica fondamentale del dialogo platonico, celato tra le molteplici modalità dell’apparire nel mondo, si mostra fin dalle prime battute della discussione, evidenziando la coerente unità del Sofista, a lungo contestata dalla critica. Modello di ermeneutica platonica del Novecento, la Vorlesung heideggeriana si insedia nel cuore della elaborazione della fatticità del vivere, ponendosi nel cammino preparatorio dell’analisi esistenziale che trova compimento in Sein und Zeit, opera che, in nome del non casuale esergo tratto dal Sofista, è – ha avuto modo di commentare Heidegger – “il testo più all’antica che sia mai stato scritto oggi”.

Sviluppo rurale e agricoltura sostenibile nelle aree protette. Il caso del Parco Nazionale dell'Alta Murgia
Creators: name: Roselli, Luigi
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2006

description: In Italia le aree protette hanno raggiunto un’estensione consistente, pari a circa il 10% del territorio nazionale, e nel corso degli anni sono state sottoposte a tutela anche aree caratterizzate da una significativa presenza di attività antropiche, agricole e non.
Si è assistito ad un’evoluzione del ruolo e delle funzioni assegnate alle aree protette: da una visione di rigida “conservazione e protezione dei valori ambientali” che limitava qualsiasi attività antropica ad una concezione cosiddetta di “tutela attiva” delle aree protette (conservazione e sviluppo sostenibile).
La dimensione territoriale e la rilevanza del patrimonio naturale sociale e culturale di queste aree stimolano l’interesse ad occuparsi delle modalità secondo cui questi territori possono essere gestiti per il raggiungimento delle finalità di conservazione e tutela ma anche di valorizzazione di quelle attività produttive compatibili.
Dal punto di vista economico-agrario suscitano particolare interesse quelle aree protette caratterizzate da un elevato grado di antropizzazione (presenza diffusa sul territorio dei segni delle attività antropiche, passate e presenti, e in particolare dell’attività agricola) e che possono considerarsi “rurali”. Si tratta di territori in cui le attività antropiche, nel corso degli anni, hanno modellato il territorio e le comunità locali che vi abitano rappresentano una componente inalienabile del territorio stesso. In questi ambiti territoriali le problematiche di protezione dell’ambiente e del paesaggio, si intersecano in modo molto stretto con i temi dello sviluppo rurale, della qualità della vita e dello sviluppo socio-economico delle collettività locali (Chiodo E., Solustri A., 2003).
Dal punto di vista empirico con questa ricerca si è cercato di definire un approccio teorico e metodologico per l’analisi e la caratterizzazione delle cosiddette aree protette antropizzate, e per valutare la performance, in termini di sostenibilità, dell’agricoltura presente al suo interno.
Sul piano empirico la metodologia individuata è stata applicata ad una specifica area protetta antropizzata di recente istituzione: il Parco Nazionale dell’Alta Murgia. L’obiettivo è stato quello di testare la metodologia individuata e di fornire una serie di elementi conoscitivi per il policy-maker, utili per definire degli strumenti di politica capaci di migliorare la sostenibilità del settore agricolo in questa specifica area protetta.

description: We built an optimal basis of low resolution templates for galaxies over the wavelength range from 0.2 to 10 $μ$m using a variant of the algorithm presented by Budavari et al. (2000). We derived them using eleven bands of photometry from the NDWFS, FLAMEX, zBoötes and IRAC Shallow surveys for 16033 galaxies in the NDWFS Boötes field with spectroscopic redshifts measured by the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey. We also developed algorithms to accurately determine photometric redshifts, K corrections and bolometric luminosities using these templates. Our photometric redshifts have an accuracy of $σ_z/(1+z) = 0.04$ when clipped to the best 95%. We used these templates to study the spectral type distribution in the field and to estimate luminosity functions of galaxies as a function of redshift and spectral type. In particular, we note that the 5-8$μ$m color distribution of galaxies is bimodal, much like the optical g--r colors.

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2010

description: Applications in the emerging high-frequency markets for millimeter wave applications more and more use SiGe components for cost reasons. To support the technology effort, a reliable TCAD platform is required. The main issue in the simulation of scaled devices is related to the limitations of the physical models used to describe charge carrier transport. Inherent approximations in the HD formalism are discussed over different technology nodes, providing for the first time a complete survey of HD models capability and restrictions with scaling for simulation of SiGe HBTs. Moreover, a complete set of models for transport parameters of SiGe HBTs is reported, including low-field mobility, energy relaxation time, saturation velocity, high-field mobility and effective density of state. Implementation in a commercial device simulator is drawn and findings are compared with simulation results obtained using a standard set of models and with trustworthy results (i.e. MC and SHE simulation results and experimental data), validating proposed models and clarifying their reliability and accuracy over different technologies. Finally, electrical breakdown phenomena in SiGe HBTs are analyzed: a novel complete model for multiplication factor is reported and validated  by experimental results; new M model provides an exhaustive accuracy over a wide range of collector voltages.
Mind, body and experience

description: It is a common notion that we have minds or souls in addition to or distinct from our bodies. This common notion, however, is considered by many to be philosophically unacceptable. This toeing the case many philosophers have attempted to account for the mental in terms of the physical. This thesis examines four such attempts. The type identity theory, functionalism and eliminative materialism are examined and rejected. A token identity statement is adopted and defended. The defense of the token identity statement rests on its form which takes the subject of experience to be central. While consciousness is not explained by this identity statement, I argue that it does enable us to accommodate the mental within a physicalist framework.
Experiencing multi-component reactions: from post-condensation modifications to chemical platform and substrate design concepts.

description: The following thesis dealt with the study of new MCRs identification and the development of new MCR/ post-condensation transformations sequences.  As post-MCR modifications two sequences have been studied: a Passerini 3-CR/Buchwald cyclization in order to get benzooxazepines and an Ugi-like/ debenzylation/ transamination reaction affording 1-aryl-5-aroyl tetrazoles. These latter compounds underwent pharmacological investigation as potential chalcones biomimetics.  In the second part of the thesis, dealing with new MCRs identification, the attempted synthesis of functionalized isocyanides has been described based on the “substrate design” principle, followed by the application of “chemical platform” concept to oxadiazoles in order to get bicyclofurans through an Ugi-Aza Wittig/ (amidation)/ Diels-Alder cycloaddition domino process

description: We present the details of a new factorized approach to semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering which treats QED and QCD radiation on equal footing, and provides a systematically improvable approximation to the extraction of transverse momentum dependent parton distributions. We demonstrate how the QED contributions can be well approximated by collinear factorization, and illustrate the application of the factorized approach to QED radiation in inclusive scattering. For semi-inclusive processes, we show how radiation effects prevent a well-defined "photon-nucleon" frame, forcing one to use a two-step process to account for the radiation. We illustrate the utility of the new method by explicit application to the spin-dependent Sivers and Collins asymmetries.

Quantum cosmology with big-brake singularity

description: We investigate a cosmological model with a big-brake singularity in the future: while the first time derivative of the scale factor goes to zero, its second time derivative tends to minus infinity. Although we also discuss the classical version of the model in some detail, our main interest lies in its quantization. We formulate the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and derive solutions describing wave packets. We show that all such solutions vanish in the region of the classical singularity, a behaviour which we interpret as singularity avoidance. We then discuss the same situation in loop quantum cosmology. While this leads to a different factor ordering, the singularity is there avoided, too.

description: NGC 3311, the giant cD galaxy in the Hydra cluster (A1060), has one of the largest globular cluster systems known. We describe new Gemini GMOS (g',i') photometry of the NGC 3311 field which reveals that the red, metal-rich side of its globular cluster population extends smoothly upward into the mass range associated with the new class of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs (UCDs). We identify 29 UCD candidates with estimated masses > 6x10^6 solar masses and discuss their characteristics. This UCD-like sequence is the most well defined one yet seen, and reinforces current ideas that the high-mass end of the globular cluster sequence merges continuously into the UCD sequence, which connects in turn to the E galaxy structural sequence.

description: We present a multiwavelength analysis of the supernova remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Using high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images of H-alpha, [S II] and [O III] emission, we study the morphology of the remnant and calculate the rms electron densities in different regions. We detect an offset of [O III] and H-alpha emission of about 0.5 arcsec, and discuss possible scenarios that could give rise to such high values. The kinematics of the remnant is analyzed by matching individual filaments to the echelle spectra obtained at CTIO. We detect narrow H-alpha emission component which we identify as the diffuse post-shock recombination radiation, and discrete broad emission features that correspond to the shocked gas in filaments. The overall expansion of the remnant is about 250 km/s. The dense clouds are shocked up to line-of-sight velocities of 250 km/s and the less dense gas up to 300 km/s. A few cloudlets have even higher radial velocities, reaching up to 350 km/s. We confirm the presence of the cavity in the remnant, and identify the center of explosion. Using archival Chandra and XMM-Newton data, we observe the same trends in surface brightness distribution for the optical and X-ray images. We carry out the spectral analysis of three regions that represent the most significant optical features.

description: We investigate the implications of non-standard interactions on neutrino oscillations in the OPERA experiment. In particular, we study the non-standard interaction parameter $ε_{μτ}$. We show that the OPERA experiment has a unique opportunity to reduce the allowed region for this parameter compared with other experiments such as the MINOS experiment, mostly due to the higher neutrino energies in the CNGS beam compared to the NuMI beam. We find that OPERA is mainly sensitive to a combination of standard and non-standard parameters and that a resulting anti-resonance effect could suppress the expected number of events. Furthermore, we show that running OPERA for five years each with neutrinos and anti-neutrinos would help in resolving the degeneracy between the standard parameters and $ε_{μτ}$. This scenario is significantly better than the scenario with a simple doubling of the statistics by running with neutrinos for ten years.

Pattern-dependent proximity effect and Majorana edge mode in one-dimensional quasicrystals

description: The Majorana edge states of the Kitaev chain model have attracted extensive attention on their stability and experimental realization. One of the interesting aspects is finding the exotic proximity effect, which guarantees the presence of the Majorana modes, further enables efficient braidings between them. In this paper, we explore the superconducting proximity effect for quasi-periodic quantum wires and discuss how quasi-periodic patterns affect the stability of the Majorana modes. Considering the Kitaev chain model of the one-dimensional quasi-periodic system, we discuss the pattern-dependent proximity effects. First, we argue that the presence of quasi-periodic hoppings energetically induces the $p$-wave pairing also to be quasi-periodic rather than uniform pairing. More interestingly, when the normal metallic wire is adjacent to the quasiperiodic superconducting wire, we have found that the Majorana edge modes are being transferred to the edge of the normal metallic side with enhanced stability. Finally, we discover the proximity effect on the strengths of the quasi-periodicities with a general power-law relationship, whose power depends on the tiling pattern. Our results show how quasi-periodic patterns play an important role in the Kitaev chain and the stabilization of the Majorana mode.

description: We study how homophily of human physical interactions affects the efficacy of digital proximity tracing. Analytical results show a non monotonous dependence of the reproduction number with respect to the mixing rate between individuals that adopt the contact tracing app and the ones that do not. Furthermore, we find regimes in which the attack rate has local optima, minima or monotonously varies with the mixing rate. We corroborate our findings with Monte Carlo simulations on a primary-school network. This study provides a mathematical basis to better understand how homophily in health behavior shapes the dynamics of epidemics.

description: The overview of the most relevant literature on migration, whose main issues were human rights, work in agriculture, cultural and social inclusion, highlighted one common point: the need to foster the legal work of migrants as a driver for social integration. This finding was confirmed by a CREA-PB survey that, after outlining the role of foreign workers in Sicilian agriculture, has emphasised how their state of isolation derived mainly from their bad housing conditions directly connected to illegal employment. The evaluation of the project “Sicilia Integra”, which was born under the patronage of the UN to include young immigrants in urban agriculture activities in Sicily, was carried out through the SWOT methodology for verifying if it could be spread in the Sicilian region.
