Deflected Anomaly Mediated SUSY Breaking Scenario With General Messenger-Matter Interactions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose to introduce general messenger-matter interactions in the deflected anomaly mediated SUSY breaking scenario. The most general form for the resulting soft parameters are derived. New interference terms between the GMSB type and AMSB type contributions are the unique feature of this scenario. Messenger-matter interactions involving sleptons can be used to solve the tachyonic slepton problem and naturally lead to positive slepton masses regardless of the sign of deflection parameter. Besides, due to the new contributions, large $|A_t|$ that will not trigger color-breaking stop VEV are also possible in this scenario, thus can easily give the 125 GeV higgs which was discovered by LHC. This type of deflected AMSB scenario need very few messenger species, thus can avoid possible non-perturbative gauge couplings below the GUT scale ( or Landau pole below the Planck scale ).

From Physicalism to Experience and Return
Creators: name: POMILIO, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation is mainly devoted to analytic metaphysics and philosophy of mind. In a nutshell, it pursues two main goals. First off, a clarificatory goal: the dissertation states and clarifies both physicalism (that is, the ontolological claim according to which everything is nothing over and above basic physical entities) and some anti-physicalist arguments known as conceivability arguments (viz. arguments against physicalism which are based on premises about the coinceivability of certain scenarios; more precisely, scenarios which turn out to be controversially linked to conscious experience). Second, the thesis tries to develop and defend a relatively new kind of physicalism named Russellian physicalism (since it is partly inspired by some of Bertrand Russell's insights on these issues). To be precise, Russellian physicalism is the conjunction of physicalism and Russellian monism, a theory recently rose to prominence and holding that some fundamental entities metaphysically constituting conscious experiences are such that physics is silent (in a certain relevant sense) about them. My main conclusion is that Russellian physicalism is an highly recommendable theoretical option, since it is both genuinely physicalist and immune to anti-physicalist conceivability arguments.

description: The Brown-Resnick max-stable process has proven to be well-suited for modeling extremes of complex environmental processes, but in many applications its likelihood function is intractable and inference must be based on a composite likelihood, thereby preventing the use of classical Bayesian techniques. In this paper we exploit a case in which the full likelihood of a Brown-Resnick process can be calculated, using componentwise maxima and their partitions in terms of individual events, and we propose two new approaches to inference. The first estimates the partitions using declustering, while the second uses random partitions in a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. We use these approaches to construct a Bayesian hierarchical model for extreme low temperatures in northern Fennoscandia.
CRAF Autophosphorylation of Serine 621 Is Required to Prevent Its Proteasome-Mediated Degradation

description: The CRAF protein kinase regulates proliferative, differentiation, and survival signals from activated RAS proteins to downstream effectors, most often by inducing MEK/ERK activation. A well-established model of CRAF regulation involves RAS-mediated translocation of CRAF to the plasma membrane, where it is activated by a series of events including phosphor-ylation. Here we have discovered a new mode of regulation that occurs prior to this step. By creating a kinase-defective version of CRAF in mice or by use of the RAF inhibitor sorafenib, we show that CRAF must first undergo autophosphorylation of serine 621 (S621). Autophosphorylation occurs in cis, does not involve MEK/ERK activation, and is essential to ensure the correct folding and stability of the protein. In the absence of S621 phosphorylation, CRAF is degraded by the proteasome by mechanisms that do not uniquely rely on the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP.
Data-Driven Approach based on Deep Learning and Probabilistic Models for PHY-Layer Security in AI-enabled Cognitive Radio IoT

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Cognitive Radio Internet of Things (CR-IoT) has revolutionized almost every field of life and reshaped the technological world. Several tiny devices are seamlessly connected in a CR-IoT network to perform various tasks in many applications. Nevertheless, CR-IoT surfers from malicious attacks that pulverize communication and perturb network performance. Therefore, recently it is envisaged to introduce higher-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) by incorporating Self-Awareness (SA) capabilities into CR-IoT objects to facilitate CR-IoT networks to establish secure transmission against vicious attacks autonomously. In this context, sub-band information from the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulated transmission in the spectrum has been extracted from the radio device receiver terminal, and a generalized state vector (GS) is formed containing low dimension in-phase and quadrature components. Accordingly, a probabilistic method based on learning a switching Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) from OFDM transmission with no abnormalities has been proposed to statistically model signal behaviors inside the CR-IoT spectrum. A Bayesian filter, Markov Jump Particle Filter (MJPF), is implemented to perform state estimation and capture malicious attacks. Subsequently, GS containing a higher number of subcarriers has been investigated. In this connection, Variational autoencoders (VAE) is used as a deep learning technique to extract features from high dimension radio signals into low dimension latent space z, and DBN is learned based on GS containing latent space data. Afterward, to perform state estimation and capture abnormalities in a spectrum, Adapted-Markov Jump Particle Filter (A-MJPF) is deployed. The proposed method can capture anomaly that appears due to either jammer attacks in transmission or cognitive devices in a network experiencing different transmission sources that have not been observed previously. The performance is assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC) metrics.

A Study on Customer Satisfaction of Postal Express Service Based on Structural Equation Modeling
Creators: name: Haoran CHeng*

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: Structural Equation Model, Express Service,Customer Satisfaction.

description: Abstract: Based on the questionnaire survey data and empirical research of 600 postal express users, the structural equation model is to evaluate and analyze customer satisfaction with postal express service from four aspects: acceptance service, delivery service, post-sales service and service quality. The results show that acceptance service and post-sales service have a direct positive impact on customer satisfaction, and delivery service has an indirect impact on customer satisfaction through post-sales service and acceptance service, and there is a two-way relationship between acceptance service and delivery service. This indicates that each customer satisfaction evaluation index is correlated with each other, and the improvement of a single ability index may not directly improve the customer satisfaction of postal express service. According to the results of the empirical study, it is suggested to strengthen the management of receiving and sending services, improve the quality and efficiency of receiving and sending services, strengthen the management of delivery services, improve the quality and efficiency of delivery services, strengthen the post-sales service management, optimize the customer service acceptance process and response speed, continuous improvement and innovation, and continuously improve the service.

description: We study an optimal control problem aimed at achieving a desired tradeoff between the network coherence and communication requirements in the distributed controller. Our objective is to add a certain number of edges to an undirected network, with a known graph Laplacian, in order to optimally enhance closed-loop performance. To promote controller sparsity, we introduce $\ell_1$-regularization into the optimal ${\cal H}_2$ formulation and cast the design problem as a semidefinite program. We derive a Lagrange dual, provide interpretation of dual variables, and exploit structure of the optimality conditions for undirected networks to develop customized proximal gradient and Newton algorithms that are well-suited for large problems. We illustrate that our algorithms can solve the problems with more than million edges in the controller graph in a few minutes, on a PC. We also exploit structure of connected resistive networks to demonstrate how additional edges can be systematically added in order to minimize the ${\cal H}_2$ norm of the closed-loop system.

INTERNATIONAL LIQUIDITY, NEGATIVE INTEREST RATE POLICY AND BANKING SUPERVISION: EVIDENCE FROM A NATURAL EXPERIMENT
Creators: name: AVIGNONE, GIUSEPPE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Chapter 2: Given the importance Swap lines played during the coronavirus-induced crisis, this paper analyses the impact of temporary U.S. dollar liquidity arrangements (swap lines) on international reserves (IR). Specifically, I investigate the effect that the Federal Reserve (FED) swap lines have had on the accumulation of IR of those countries involved compared to those countries that do not have any type of liquidity arrangements with the FED. By analysing a sample of 47 countries over the period 2002-2018 and a difference-in-differences methodology, I find that, overall, there is no difference in the accumulation process of IR between those countries that were involved in the global financial crisis (GFC) swap lines and those that were not. However, on close inspection, by analysing the emerging market economies (EME) sub-sample, I find empirical evidences that these countries - involved in swap lines by FED, when these GFC arrangements expired - started to accumulate reserves to a greater extent to the other considered EME. Furthermore, when I investigate whether these divergences are due to ultra-easy monetary policies or turbulence periods, I find this greater accumulation to be a phenomenon clearly wanted by the countries involved. This result suggests that swap lines involved countries that do not believe in the benevolence of Fed operations, and being more exposed to dollar shocks than other EME, they need a higher stockpile of IR. My contribution could suggest that EME will continue to follow their precautionary patterns, also after the last coronavirus swap lines.

description: Recently Graham, Kaplan and Rajendran [1] proposed cosmological relaxation as a mechanism for generating a hierarchically small Higgs vacuum expectation value. Inspired by this we collect some thoughts on steps towards a solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem and apply them to the original model of cosmological relaxation [1]. To do so, we study the dynamics of the model and determine the relation between the fundamental input parameters and the electroweak vacuum expectation value. Depending on the input parameters the model exhibits three qualitatively different regimes, two of which allow for hierarchically small Higgs vacuum expectation values. One leads to standard electroweak symmetry breaking whereas in the other regime electroweak symmetry is mainly broken by a Higgs source term. While the latter is not acceptable in a model based on the QCD axion, in non-QCD models this may lead to new and interesting signatures in Higgs observables.

Weighted statistics of L-functions
Creators: name: FAZZARI, ALESSANDRO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: This thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 and 2 are a general introduction to the Riemann zeta function, with a special focus on the theory of moments; no original results are contained here. In Chapter 3 we study a weighted value distribution of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. More specifically, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we investigate the distribution of $log|zeta(1/2+it)|$ with respect to various tilted measures, proving several weighted analogues of Selberg's central limit theorem. Moreover we prove unconditionally the analogue results in the corresponding random matrix theory setting. These contents first appeared in [54,55]. Chapter 4 is devoted to a weighted version of the one-level density of the non-trivial zeros of $L$-functions, tilted by a power of the $L$-function evaluated at the central point. First, we study this problem for the Riemann zeta function, both unconditionally and assuming the ratio conjecture. Then we generalize these ideas for specific families of $L$-functions with different symmetry types; in particular we consider a symplectic and an orthogonal family of $L$-functions and, under the relevant ratio conjecture, we study the weighted one-level density of non-trivial zeros of these $L$-functions.
MISO Broadcast Channel with Hybrid CSIT: Beyond Two Users

description: We study the impact of heterogeneity of channel-state-information available at the transmitters (CSIT) on the capacity of broadcast channels with a multiple-antenna transmitter and $k$ single-antenna receivers (MISO BC). In particular, we consider the $k$-user MISO BC, where the CSIT with respect to each receiver can be either instantaneous/perfect, delayed, or not available; and we study the impact of this heterogeneity of CSIT on the degrees-of-freedom (DoF) of such network. We first focus on the $3$-user MISO BC; and we completely characterize the DoF region for all possible heterogeneous CSIT configurations, assuming linear encoding strategies at the transmitters. The result shows that the state-of-the-art achievable schemes in the literature are indeed sum-DoF optimal, when restricted to linear encoding schemes. To prove the result, we develop a novel bound, called Interference Decomposition Bound, which provides a lower bound on the interference dimension at a receiver which supplies delayed CSIT based on the average dimension of constituents of that interference, thereby decomposing the interference into its individual components. Furthermore, we extend our outer bound on the DoF region to the general $k$-user MISO BC, and demonstrate that it leads to an approximate characterization of linear sum-DoF to within an additive gap of $0.5$ for a broad range of CSIT configurations. Moreover, for the special case where only one receiver supplies delayed CSIT, we completely characterize the linear sum-DoF.

Quantum Mechanical Inclusion of the Source in the Aharonov-Bohm Effects

name: Rizzi, Anthony
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Following semiclassical arguments by Vaidman we show, for the first time in a fully quantum mechanical way, that the phase shifts arising in the Aharonov Bohm (A-B) magnetic or electric effects can be treated as due to the electric force of a classical electron, respectively acting on quantized solenoid particles or quantized capacitor plates. This is in contrast to the usual approach which treats both effects as arising from non-field producing potentials acting on the quantized electron. Moreover, we consider the problems of interacting quantized electron and quantized solenoid or quantized capacitor to see what phase shift their joint wave function acquires. We show, in both cases, that the net phase shift is indeed the A-B shift (for, one might have expected twice the A-B shift, given the above two mechanisms for each effect.) The solution to the exact Schrodinger equation may be treated (approximately for the magnetic A-B effect, which we show using a variational approach, exactly for the electric A-B effect) as the product of two solutions of separate Schrodinger equations for each of the two quantized entities, but with an extra phase. The extra phase provides the negative of the A-B shift, while the two separate Schrodinger equations without the extra phase each provide the A-B phase shift, so that the product wave function produces the net A-B phase shift.
description: This paper includes all that was correct in the previous version. However, unlike that version, the present paper shows that the Aharonov-Bohm phase shift is obtained when the electron and solenoid are both quantized. A better approximation to the wave function for electron and solenoid than used previously is obtained from the variational principal for the Schrodinger equation
Design and Realization of Electronic Measurement Systems for Partial Discharge Monitoring on Electrical Equipment
Creators: name: BRUZZONE, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: The monitoring of insulations that composing high voltage apparatus and electrical machines is a crucial aspect for a predictive maintenance program. The insulation system of an electrical machine is affected by partial discharges (PDs), phenomena that can lead to the breakdown in a certain time, with a consequent and significant economic loss. Partial discharges are identified as both the symptom and the cause of a deterioration of solid-type electrical insulators. Thus, it is necessary to adopt solutions for monitoring the insulation status. To do this, different techniques and devices can be adopted. During this research activity, two different systems have been developed at the circuit and layout level, which base their operation respectively on the conducted and on the irradiated measurement, in compliance with the provisions of current standards, if foreseen. The first system is based on the use of a classic signal conditioning chain in which gain value can be set through PC control, allowing the conducted measurement of partial discharges in two frequency bands, Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF). Based on these bands, the application of the system is diversified. In this case, the information obtained from the measurement can be analysed by an expert operator or processed by an intelligent system, obtaining in both cases information on the status of the machine under test. The second makes use of a UHF antenna built on PCB, which takes care of detecting the irradiated signal generated in the presence of discharge activity, which is then appropriately conditioned and processed by analog electronics, to then be acquired through a programmable logic, which interprets it and returns information on the status of the machine, which can also be checked by an expert user. The application of this system is linked to the type of insulation and the type of power supply adopted, which differentiate its characteristics. In both systems, the analysis of the measurement of partial discharges is suitable for the prevention of failures and the planning of suitable maintenance interventions.
Il discorso metapoetico, metalinguistico e metatestuale nella poesia italiana del secondo Novecento e contemporanea

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation explores the metapoetic, metalinguistic and metatextual discourse along the Italian late 20th century and contemporary poetry. The first chapter carries out an examination of the terminology in use and an overview of the studies performed to date. It also presents the method employed, which consists, firstly, in mapping the metapoetic, metalinguistic and metatextual vocabulary of the whole poetic work of an author; and, secondly, in conducting a stylistic analysis of the poems including the characteristic terms of their poetry. In the following chapters this method is applied to the poetic works of Andrea Zanzotto, Adriano Spatola, and Vittorio Reta. Each monographic study covers one specific phenomenon, which is also investigated in the corresponding chapter of comparison. These last sections are respectively related to Giovanni Giudici; Corrado Costa, Giulia Niccolai, and Patrizia Vicinelli; Edoardo Sanguineti. In conclusion, the final chapter compares the stylistic devices and the intertextual references previously pointed out.

description: Evidence that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces cardiovascular morbidity comes largely from observational studies. This association may be confounded if CPAP adherents are healthier in ways not measured by investigators. We assessed whether patients adhering to lipid-lowering medications were more adherent to CPAP.

Modelling and Control of Cable-Driven Hyper-Redundant Robots
Creators: name: LUDOVICO, DANIELE

description: Nowadays, inspection and maintenance of industrial sites are often carried out by specialised operators who need to enter narrow and potentially dangerous environments. In this context, cable-driven hyper-redundant robots support the operators to carry out inspection and maintenance tasks proving to be an effective solution in terms of safety. The cable transmission keeps the actuators safe from the possible extreme environmental conditions of the inspection site, and the kinematic redundancy allows the robot to move into narrow environments avoiding obstacles. This dissertation aims to study cable-driven hyper-redundant robots providing a unified modelling framework that accurately describes their dynamics and could be employed to design control algorithms. The proposed modelling technique defines a simulation environment by interconnecting all the components of a mechatronic system. This approach allows speeding up the preliminary analysis necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of different solutions highlighting possible critical aspects. Furthermore, describing each subsystem by different complexity models allows employing the optimal model for the various scenarios the designer would analyse, such as secondary dynamics studies or control algorithm design. The obtained model provides the framework to design a control algorithm able to damp the residual vibration induced by cable transmission. Since fast actuators need to be employed to increase the vibrations damping, a novel design methodology to passively compensate for gravity forces is presented to improve the actuators dynamic response. Finally, the proposed modelling framework is applied to a novel cable-driven hyper-redundant robot to prove the versatility of this method.

An analysis of the Islamist radicalisation process: individual patterns, experts and institutional perspectives and media narrative in the Italian context
Creators: name: DAL SANTO, ELENA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: The concept of terrorism entails very different representations and meanings put forward by diverse actors as a result of complex socio-political dynamics. The efforts to understand and explain terrorism and its root-causes have increased exponentially after the attacks towards the Twin Towers in 2001. This research project fits into the broader literature on terrorism and builds on multiple disciplinary perspectives and, in particular, political sciences, sociology and anthropology. The data collected shed light on how Islamist radicalization occur in Italy through the analysis of its conceptualization and narration by a heterogeneous group of stakeholders dealing with the phenomenon in their professional endeavours. Three main types of data have been taken into consideration for the purpose of this study: the reports by the National Anti-mafia and Anti-terrorism Directorate (DNA) from 2001 to 2017; in-depth interviews with representatives belonging to different institutional and professional sectors; press articles reporting the news of deportation of suspected terrorists published either on national or local newspapers between 2015 and 2017. Through the data gathered from these various sources, a comprehensive description of the radicalisation process has been developed combining multiple interpretations and viewpoints. Radicalization in Italy mainly concerns young male adults made vulnerable by their emotional fragility and distress, including identity troubles, frustrations and alienation and primarily recruited on the internet and in prisons. In the process of social co-construction of the phenomenon, relevant institutions, experts and professionals portray the process of radicalisation as an emergency threat in which terrorists and radicalized individuals are represented as the ?others?.

description: A new solver featuring time-space adaptation and error control has been recently introduced to tackle the numerical solution of stiff reaction-diffusion systems. Based on operator splitting, finite volume adaptive multiresolution and high order time integrators with specific stability properties for each operator, this strategy yields high computational efficiency for large multidimensional computations on standard architectures such as powerful workstations. However, the data structure of the original implementation, based on trees of pointers, provides limited opportunities for efficiency enhancements, while posing serious challenges in terms of parallel programming and load balancing. The present contribution proposes a new implementation of the whole set of numerical methods including Radau5 and ROCK4, relying on a fully different data structure together with the use of a specific library, TBB, for shared-memory, task-based parallelism with work-stealing. The performance of our implementation is assessed in a series of test-cases of increasing difficulty in two and three dimensions on multi-core and many-core architectures, demonstrating high scalability.

description: Considering the supersymmetric models with light neutralino and R-parity violation, we perform estimates of the signal rate expected at the recently proposed fixed target SHiP experiment exploiting CERN SPS beam of 400 GeV protons. We extend the existing studies by introducing new production channels (in particular through the beauty mesons) and decay modes. We also constrain model parameter space from analysis of negative results of the CHARM experiment.
