description: We explore the dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a homogeneous system by thermally quenching an atomic gas with short-range interactions through the Bose-Einstein phase transition. Using homodyne matter-wave interferometry to measure first-order correlation functions, we verify the central quantitative prediction of the Kibble-Zurek theory, namely the homogeneous-system power-law scaling of the coherence length with the quench rate. Moreover, we directly confirm its underlying hypothesis, the freezing of the correlation length near the transition due to critical slowing down. Our measurements agree with beyond mean-field theory, and support the previously unverified expectation that the dynamical critical exponent for this universality class, which includes the $λ$-transition of liquid $^4$He, is $z=3/2$.

description: The maritime economy includes the activities linked to the sea, namely:
- Marine resource extraction: living resources and marine minerals,
- Exploitation of marine space and of physical properties of marine waters (energy plants
- using marine water as a heat sink, marine renewable energies, submarine cable laying,
- maritime and coastal construction and public works, maritime transport, Navy),
- Exploitation of seascapes (tourism, leisure, boating),
- Resource processing (of living resources and oil & gas)
- Manufacturing and service industries supplying the above exploitation activities: shipbuilding, ship repair and boat building and their suppliers, oil and gas services, financial services,
- Public services: defence; State intervention at sea and public services to maritime activities and to seafarers; public and private activities contributing to the protection of marine and coastal environment; and public research.

Since 1997, the French Marine Economic Data report, published by Ifremer, includes a set of key sectoral indicators used to value the economic significance of the French marine-related activities in terms of production and jobs, their role in the national economy, their weight in international competition and the importance of non-market public services. The analysis of the marine sectors is carried out mainly at national scale but regional indicators are also presented when they are available. The European dimension of the activities is also taken into account.
title: Exposure by nesting material? – Investigation of potentially suitable methods for higher tier studies with solitary bees

description: The registration processes and risk assessment of plant protection products (PPPs) on bees resulted in an increasing need for experiments with non-apis pollinators to assess potential side effects of PPPs on this relatively new group of test organisms. Recently, numerous studies have been performed but there is still a wide range of ongoing challenges. One of the challenges is the risk from insecticide exposure to solitary bees (especially at larval stages) by contaminated nesting material (e.g. mud partitions – mason bees). In 2017, an experiment was performed with the horn-faced mason bee Osmia cornuta (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae) under modified field conditions. The aim of the experiment was to develop a suitable test method for higher tier risk assessments with solitary wild bees exposed to treated nesting material. The potential effect of an insect growth regulator (IGR) to bees and their brood was examined. The reproduction capacity and brood termination rate were observed in the study as endpoints. Furt ermore, hatching success and flight activity were recorded as additional information at several occasions.The present results provide no evidence that the exposure has an effect on the development during the larval stages of Osmia cornuta, neither in pollen mass nor in the nesting material.

description: A Josephson supercurrent has been induced into the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3. We show that the transport in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3 exfoliated flakes is dominated by surface states and that the bulk conductivity can be neglected at the temperatures where we study the proximity induced superconductivity. We prepared Josephson junctions with widths in the order of 40 nm and lengths in the order of 50 to 80 nm on several Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3 flakes and measured down to 30 mK. The Fraunhofer patterns unequivocally reveal that the supercurrent is a Josephson supercurrent. The measured critical currents are reproducibly observed on different devices and upon multiple cooldowns, and the critical current dependence on temperature as well as magnetic field can be well explained by diffusive transport models and geometric effects.

description: Concurrent sexual partnerships (partnerships that overlap in time) increase the spread of infection through a network. Different patterns of concurrent partnerships may be associated with varying STI risk depending on the partnership type (primary vs. non-primary) and the likelihood of condom use with each concurrent partner. We sought to evaluate co-parenting concurrency, overlapping partnerships in which at least one concurrent partner is a co-parent with the respondent, which may promote the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
A new method of CCD dark current correction via extracting the dark information from scientific images

description: We have developed a new method to correct dark current at relatively high temperatures for Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) images when dark frames cannot be obtained on the telescope. For images taken with the Antarctic Survey Telescopes (AST3) in 2012, due to the low cooling efficiency, the median CCD temperature was -46$^\circ$C, resulting in a high dark current level of about 3$e^-$/pix/sec, even comparable to the sky brightness (10$e^-$/pix/sec). If not corrected, the nonuniformity of the dark current could even overweight the photon noise of the sky background. However, dark frames could not be obtained during the observing season because the camera was operated in frame-transfer mode without a shutter, and the telescope was unattended in winter. Here we present an alternative, but simple and effective method to derive the dark current frame from the scientific images. Then we can scale this dark frame to the temperature at which the scientific images were taken, and apply the dark frame corrections to the scientific images. We have applied this method to the AST3 data, and demonstrated that it can reduce the noise to a level roughly as low as the photon noise of the sky brightness, solving the high noise problem and improving the photometric precision. This method will also be helpful for other projects that suffer from similar issues.

AI reasoning

description: Recent research underscores a critical shift in understanding AI reasoning by moving beyond mere input-output behaviors to analyzing the internal states of models. This paper explores the transformative potential of hidden states as an intrinsic medium for reasoning, questioning whether cognitive processes in AI can be enhanced independently of natural language representations. Specifically, we investigate whether neural networks can develop self-awareness of their own computations, enabling them to reason internally. We propose a novel framework, PathThinker, that explicitly treats hidden states as a fundamental reasoning substrate, potentially unlocking greater interpretability, reliability, and adaptability. While this concept is yet to be implemented, we discuss its feasibility, potential advantages, and challenges.

description: We study the role of Quorum Sensing (QS) in the growth of bacterial colonies and in the bioluminescence produced. These two phenomena are both regulated by QS and the experimental data show a non-trivial correlation between them. It is also known that the specific bacterial substrate potentially modifies the behavior of the colony. In the specific case of the bioluminescent gram-negative bacterium, Vibrio harveyi, we propose a three-autoinducer model in which QS is described in terms of long-range interaction between charged objects placed on a regular network and playing the role of bacteria. The charges spread in the network through fictitious non-linear electrostatic interactions. QS is monitored by analyzing the current flowing within the network. The model parameters are determined by comparing the simulations with the data present in the literature and related to liquid cultures. New colony growth measurements are then performed on Vibrio campbelli (a member of the clade Harveyi) grown on hydroxyapatite (HA) substrates relevant for biomedical applications. Growth on the substrate differs from growth in liquid culture, although the observed bioluminescence is similar. We exploit our model to understand the differences between colonies in liquid culture and on substrate in terms of the relative role and cooperation of the three autoinducers.

description: Recently it was found that a broad class of existing inflationary models based on supergravity can be significantly simplified if some of the standard, unconstrained chiral superfields are replaced by nilpotent superfields, associated with Volkov-Akulov supersymmetry. The same method allows to simplify the existing models of uplifting of AdS vacua in string theory. In this paper we will show that one can go well beyond simplifying the models that already exist. We will propose a broad class of new models of chaotic inflation based on supergravity with nilpotent superfields, which simultaneously incorporate both inflation and uplifting. They provide a simple unified description of inflation and the present acceleration of the universe in the supergravity context.

description: Dislocation based modeling of plasticity is one of the central challenges at the crossover of materials science and continuum mechanics. Developing a continuum theory of dislocations requires the solution of two long standing problems: (i) to find a faithful representation of dislocation kinematics with a reasonable number of variables and (ii) to derive averaged descriptions of the dislocation dynamics (i.e. material laws) in terms of these variables. In the current paper we solve the first problem. This is achieved through a multipole expansion of the dislocation density in terms of so-called alignment tensors containing the directional distribution of dislocation density and dislocation curvature. A hierarchy of evolution equations of these tensors is derived from a higher dimensional dislocation density theory. Low order closure approximations of this hierarchy lead to continuum dislocation dynamics models with only few internal variables. Perspectives for more refined theories and current challenges in dislocation density modeling are discussed.

SURVIVAL ANALYSIS AND REGRESSION MODELS IN THE PRESENCE OF COMPETING AND SEMI-COMPETING RISKS
Creators: name: ORENTI, ANNALISA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: Evaluation of a therapeutic strategy is complex when the course of a disease is characterized by the occurrence of different kinds of events. Competing risks arise when the occurrence of specific events prevents the observation of other events. Different survival or incidence functions can be defined in the presence of competing risks and a relevant issue is an adequate knowledge of the methodological background in order to apply a suitable statistical analysis for the study aims. This work aims at presenting different estimates of survival or incidence probabilities used in this framework. From clinical application, it emerges that crude cumulative incidence is widely diffuses both to estimate incidence probabilities and to evaluate covariate effects. On the contrary net survival functions, although of clinical interest, are not diffused because of more difficult model structure and lack of software availability. If the independence assumption between different events is tenable, Kaplan-Meier method can be used to estimate net survival. Otherwise multivariate distribution of times based on Copulas can be adopted. In the case of different causes of death, relative survival can be interpreted as net survival only under specific assumptions on the mortality pattern. A particular case on competing risks arises when only fatal events can prevent the observation of the non fatal ones, but not vice versa (semi-competing risks). The estimate of an interpretable measure of association between times to non fatal and fatal event is often of biological interest, in order to understand the disease progression. In the statistical literature some approaches have been proposed to estimate the association between two independently doubly censored failure times, but more specific approach have to be applied in the presence of semi-competing risks. After estimating the association parameter, the survival function of a non terminal event can be estimated after fixing a copula structure by means of the semi parametric methods proposed by Fine, Jiang and Chappell or the copula graphic estimator. Furthermore when the interest is to evaluate the effect of different therapeutic strategies or covariates on the occurrence of a non terminal event in a semi-competing risks setting, specific regression model have to be adopted. I propose here to adopt the methodology based on pseudo-observations, having the advantage to be implemented by generalized linear models approaches. Simulation studies are performed to compare the performances of methods to estimate the association between events, of methods based on Copulas models to estimate net survival and of regression method for net survival in the presence of semi-competing risks. A case series of breast cancer patients is used to illustrate different methods of estimating net survival functions on the causes of deaths and on the severe non fatal events in the presence of competing and semi-competing risks framework.

Moving from the traditionally idea that "Milan makes itself," the setting up of Simplon?s Exhibition was an important and valuable opportunity of cooperation of private and public efforts, with the direct participation of the Municipality. Milan was not only the protagonist of the urban and architectural transformation, but also of process of improvement of social conditions and of increase of cultural activities. It also consider the legacy of this event after the conclusion of the Exhibition: with Acquario's exception, none of the most iconic buildings of the white city lasted to remind the magnificent work of Simplon's Exhibition, which left a much rich bequeath to Milan. The cultural and social heritage have ensured the eternal memory for an so felt event, but so fleeting.

description: We consider the possibilities for prediction of liquids' density under pressure basing on the inverse reduced fluctuations parameter, which is directly connected with the isothermal compressibility. This quantity can be determined basing on the thermodynamical properties of saturated liquid and it consists of only two constant parameters within a relatively wide region close to the melting points. It is confirmed by the comparison with the experimental data on n-alkanes that the derived expression is a quite reasonable estimator without a necessity to fit data along some parts of isotherms for different temperatures. At the same time the obtained formula: i) can be reduced to the form of the Tait equation and ii) the resulting Tait's parameters in this representation have a clear physical meaning as functions of the excess entropy, which determines the mentioned reduced fluctuations.

description: The Judge?s case management powers in italian and german private-law trials: a comparative study. This text offers a comparative analysis of the judge?s case management powers in private-law trials, granted to the judge in the italian and german legal systems. The aim of this research is to create solutions for a reform of the italian private-law system through the comparison between the functioning of italian and german private-law trials. The research opens with an overview of the main historical events which led to the formation of the italian and german private-law systems, focusing on the judge?s power during trials. Next, the constitutional principles related to the to the private-law trial will be analysed, in order to understand if the configuration of a judge having great case management powers can be considered constitutionally acceptable. Afterwards, the research addresses the most relevant reforms of both german and italian private-law trials which concerned the judge and his powers, and the their consequences. Finally, the research ends with an analysis of the positive norms which determine the role of the judge during trials both in the italian and in the german system, suggesting which elements of the german private-law trials can inspire a reform of the italian system.

description: The eddy-driven jet stream and storm tracks in the mid-latitude atmosphere are known to shift in latitude on various timescales, but the physical processes that cause these shifts are still unclear. In this study, we introduce a minimal dynamical system derived from the classical Phillips two-level model with the goal of elucidating the essential mechanisms responsible for the interaction between eddies and mean flow. Specifically, we aim to understand the link between the structure of the eddies and the shift of the latitudinal maximum of the zonal flow. By varying the horizontal shape of the eddies, we find three distinct dynamical regimes whose occurrence depends on the intensity of the external baroclinic forcing: a purely zonal flow, a barotropic eddy regime with net poleward momentum flux, and a baroclinic eddy regime with both net poleward momentum and temperature flux. For weak baroclinic forcing, the classical zonal flow solution with latitudinal maximum at the centre of the beta-channel is found. For strong forcing, if eddies are southwest-northeast tilted and zonally elongated, the system is in the baroclinic eddy regime, resulting in a poleward shift of the jet. The intermediate barotropic eddy regime also features a poleward shifted jet, yet with eddies structurally distinct from the baroclinic regime. Changing the parameters yields transitions between the regimes that can be either continuous or discontinuous in terms of the properties of the atmosphere. The findings of this study also provide insights into the properties of the storm track change between the jet entrance and jet exit regions of the North Atlantic.

description: Turbulence and dynamo induced by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) are analyzed using quasi-linear statistical simulation methods. It is found that homogenous turbulence is unstable to a large scale dynamo instability, which saturates to an inhomogenous equilibrium with a strong dependence on the magnetic Prandtl number (Pm). Despite its enormously reduced nonlinearity, the dependence of the angular momentum transport on Pm in the quasi-linear model is qualitatively similar to that of nonlinear MRI turbulence. This indicates that recent convergence problems may be related to large scale dynamo and suggests how dramatically simplified models may be used to gain insight into the astrophysically relevant regimes of very low or high Pm.

description: We describe a new direct method to estimate bipartite mutual information of a classical spin system based on Monte Carlo sampling enhanced by autoregressive neural networks. It allows studying arbitrary geometries of subsystems and can be generalized to classical field theories. We demonstrate it on the Ising model for four partitionings, including a multiply-connected even-odd division. We show that the area law is satisfied for temperatures away from the critical temperature: the constant term is universal, whereas the proportionality coefficient is different for the even-odd partitioning.

description: The photon transfer curve (PTC, variance vs. signal level) is a commonly used and effective tool in characterizing CCD performance. It is theoretically linear in the range where photon shot noise dominates, and its slope is utilized to derive the gain of the CCD. However, recent researches on different CCDs have revealed that the variance progressively drops at high signal levels, while the linearity shown by signal versus exposure time is still excellent and unaffected. On the other hand, bright stars are found to exhibit fatter point spread function (PSF). Both nonlinear PTC and the brighter-fatter effect are regarded as the result of spreading of charges between pixels, an interaction progress increasing with signal level. In this work we investigate the nonlinear PTC based on the images with a STA1600FT CCD camera, whose PTC starts to become nonlinear at about 1/3 full well. To explain the phenomenon, we present a model to characterize the charge-sharing PSF. This signal-dependent PSF can be derived from flat-field frames, and allow us to quantify the effects on photometry and measured shape of stars. This effect is essentially critical for projects requiring accurate photometry and shape parameters.

description: Negative maternal and fetal consequences associated with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae during pregnancy make diagnosis essential. The CDC recommends routine screening for sexually transmitted infections at the first prenatal visit, and third trimester repeat screening, specifically for C. trachomatis, is recommended for women under age 25 or at increased infection risk. The impact of repeat screening on diagnosis during pregnancy is not well documented among adolescents.
Nonequilibrium phononic first-order phase transition in a driven fermion chain

description: We study the direct laser drive of infrared-active phonons that are quadratically coupled to a spinless fermion chain. Feedback is incorporated by phonon dressing of the electronic dispersion, which enables effective non-linearities in the phonon dynamics. We uncover a first-order phase transition in the phononic steady state in which hysteretic effects allow either large or small phonon occupation depending on the drive protocol. We discuss the implications of these findings for probing phase transitions in real driven materials.

description: The most recent cancer classification from NIH includes ~200 types of tumor that originates from several tissue types (http://www.cancer.gov/types). Although macroscopic and microscopic characteristics varies significantly across subtypes, the starting point of every cancer is believed to be a single cell that acquires DNA somatic alterations that increases its fitness over the surrounding cells and makes it behave abnormally and proliferate uncontrollably. Somatic mutations are the consequence of many possible defective processes such as replication deficiencies, exposure to carcinogens, or DNA repair machinery faults. Mutation development is a random and mostly natural process that frequently happens in every cell of an individual. Only the acquisition of a series of subtype-specific alterations, including also larger aberrations such as translocations or deletions, can lead to the development of the disease and this is a long process for the majority of adult tumor types. However, genetic predisposition for certain cancer types is epidemiologically well established. In fact, several cancer predisposing genes where identified in the last 30 years with various technologies but they characterize only a small fraction of familial cases. This work will therefore cover two main steps of cancer genetics and genomics: the identification of the genes that somatically changes the behavior of a normal human cell to a cancer cell and the genetic variants that increase risk of cancer development. The use of publicly available datasets is common to all the three results sections that compose this work. In particular, we took advantage of several whole exome sequencing databases (WES) for the identification of both driver mutations and driver variants. In particular, the use of WES in cancer predisposition analysis represents one of the few attempts of performing such analysis on genome-wide sequencing germline data.

description: We study the half-filled Hubbard model on a one-parameter family of vortex-full square lattices ranging from the isotropic case to weakly coupled Hubbard dimers. The ground-state phase diagram consists of four phases: A semi-metal and a band insulator which are connected to the weak-coupling limit, and a magnetically ordered Néel phase and a valence bond crystal (VBC) which are linked to the strong-coupling Mott limit. The phase diagram is obained by quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and continuous unitary transformations (CUTs). The CUT is performed in a two-step process: Non-perturbative graph-based CUTs are used in the Mott insulating phase to integrate out charge fluctuations. The resulting effective spin model is tackled by perturbative CUTs about the isolated dimer limit yielding the breakdown of the VBC by triplon condensation. We find three scenarios when varying the interaction for a fixed anisotropy of hopping amplitudes: i) one direct phase transition from Néel to semi-metal, ii) two phase transitions VBC to Néel and Néel to semi-metal, or iii) a smooth crossover from VBC to the band insultor. Our results are consistent with the absence of spin-liquid phases in the whole phase diagram.
