description: In the case of compact quantum graphs, many-particle models with singular two-particle interactions where introduced in [arXiv:1207.5648, arXiv:1112.4751] to provide a paradigm for further studies on many-particle quantum chaos. In this note, we discuss various aspects of such singular interactions in a two-particle system restricted to the half-line $\mathbb{R}_+$. Among others, we give a description of the spectrum of the two-particle Hamiltonian and obtain upper bounds on the number of eigenstates below the essential spectrum. We also specify conditions under which there is exactly one such eigenstate. As a final result, it is shown that the ground state is unique and decays exponentially as $\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \to \infty$.

From Time Representation in Scheduling to the Solution of Strip Packing Problems

description: We propose two mixed-integer linear programming based approaches for the 2D orthogonal strip packing problem. Using knowledge from the alternative forms of time representation in scheduling formulations, we show how to efficiently combine three different concepts into the x- and y-dimensions. One model features a discrete representation on the x-axis (strip width) and a continuous representation with general precedence variables on the y-axis (strip height). The other features a full continuous-space representation with the same approach for the y-axis and a single non-uniform grid made up of slots for the x-axis. Through the solution of a set of twenty nine instances from the literature, we show that the former is a better approach, even when compared to three alternative MILP models ranging from a pure discrete-space to a pure continuous-space with precedence variables in both dimensions. All models are available in www.minlp.org.

description: A variable residence time thermodenuder (TD) was combined with an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) and a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) to measure the volatility distribution of aged organic aerosol in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Finokalia Aerosol Measurement Experiment in May of 2008 (FAME-2008). A new method for the quantification of the organic aerosol volatility distribution was developed combining measurements of all three instruments together with an aerosol dynamics model.
Challenges in the interpretation of ambient thermodenuder-AMS measurements include the potential resistances to mass transfer during particle evaporation, the effects of particle size on the evaporated mass fraction, the changes in the AMS collection efficiency and particle density as the particles evaporate partially in the TD, and finally potential losses inside the TD. Our proposed measurement and data analysis method accounts for all of these problems combining the AMS and SMPS measurements.
The AMS collection efficiency of the aerosol that passed through the TD was found to be approximately 10% lower than the collection efficiency of the aerosol that passed through the bypass. The organic aerosol measured at Finokalia is approximately 2 or more orders of magnitude less volatile than fresh laboratory-generated monoterpene (α-pinene, β-pinene and limonene under low NOx conditions) secondary organic aerosol. This low volatility is consistent with its highly oxygenated AMS mass spectrum. The results are found to be highly sensitive to the mass accommodation coefficient of the evaporating species. This analysis is based on the assumption that there were no significant reactions taking place inside the thermodenuder.

Optimal Simultaneous Production of Bio-Ibutene and Bioethanol From Switchgrass

Subjects: subject: 90499 Chemical Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In this work, we propose the optimal flowsheet for the production of i-butene from switchgrass. A superstructure embedding a number of alternatives is proposed. Two technologies are considered for switchgrass pretreatment, dilute acid and ammonia fibre explosion (AFEX) so that the structure of the grass is broken down. Surface response models are used to predict the yield. Next, enzymatic hydrolysis follows any of the pretreaments to obtain fermentable sugars, mainly xylose and glucose. I-butene is obtained by fermentation of the sugars. Next it is separated mainly from CO2 for which PSA or membrane separation are considered. However, xylose cannot be easily converted, and thus we also evaluate the possibility of using it to produce bioethanol. The problem is formulated as an MINLP with simultaneous optimization and heat integration. Finally, an economic evaluation is performed. The most promising process involves the use of dilute acid pretreatment and membrane purification of the i-butene. However, the decision related to the production of i-butene alone or the simultaneous production of i-butene and ethanol depends on the prices for bioethanol and for switchgrass.

INTERMEDIATE LOGICS AND POLYHEDRA
Creators: name: ALOE, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: Polyhedra enjoy a peculiar property: every geometric shape with a certain ?regularity? ? in specific terms, certain classes of (closed) topological manifolds ? can be captured by a polyhedron via triangulation, that is, by subdividing the geometric shapes into appropriate ?triangles?, called simplices (which, in the 1- and 0-dimensional case, are simply edges and vertices, respectively). Therefore, one might well wonder: what is the intermediate logic of the class of triangulable topological manifolds of a given dimension d? The main result of the present work is to give the answer to this question in the case of 1-dimensional manifolds, that is, the circle and the closed interval.
THE ROLE OF ENHANCED POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 2 ACTIVITY IN TUMORIGENESIS
Creators: name: CEDRONE, LAURA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Polycomb Group of proteins are essential factors present in cells? nuclei. These multiprotein complexes are key repressive chromatin factors that regulate cellular differentiation during development, contributing to the correct establishment of lineage-specific transcriptional programs. Moreover, they represent key factors of proliferation and deregulation of their levels and activity have been linked to the onset and development of several human cancers. Recently, gain of function heterozygous EZH2 mutations have been discovered in non-Hodgkin lymphomas and melanomas. These mutations cause an aminoacidic substitution within the EZH2 catalytic SET domain (Y641), resulting in increased H3K27me3 deposition. Very little is known about this mutated enzyme, therefore the aim of my thesis is trying to unravel the tumorigenic mechanisms underlying these mutations. To understand a general oncogenic role for this mutated enzyme, we used MEF as an alternative, simpler model system. We observed increased deposition of H3K27me3 without any relevant transcriptional alteration at steady state, confirming our results also in lymphoma cell lines. To investigate a cooperative transcriptional deregulation for mutant EZH2, we then subjected MEFs to three different stimuli (starvation, myc upregulation and reprogramming to pluripotency). Since we found this to be true only during cell-fate transition, we proposed a model in which the levels of the H3K27me3 are increasingly deposited where the mark is already present at steady state. This could be relevant in lymphomas, impeding centroblasts differentiation and resulting in tumorigenesis in the presence of concomitant oncogenic mutations. This observation could shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying lymphomagenesis in patients.

description: The NESSiE Collaboration has been setup to undertake a conclusive experiment to clarify the {\em muon--neutrino disappearance} measurements at short baselines in order to put severe constraints to models with more than the three--standard neutrinos. To this aim the current FNAL--Booster neutrino beam for a Short--Baseline experiment was carefully evaluated by considering the use of magnetic spectrometers at two sites, near and far ones. The detector locations were studied, together with the achievable performances of two OPERA--like spectrometers. The study was constrained by the availability of existing hardware and a time--schedule compatible with the undergoing project of multi--site Liquid--Argon detectors at FNAL. The settled physics case and the kind of proposed experiment on the Booster neutrino beam would definitively clarify the existing tension between the $ν_μ$ disappearance and the $ν_e$ appearance/disappearance at the eV mass scale. In the context of neutrino oscillations the measurement of $ν_μ$ disappearance is a robust and fast approach to either reject or discover new neutrino states at the eV mass scale. We discuss an experimental program able to extend by more than one order of magnitude (for neutrino disappearance) and by almost one order of magnitude (for antineutrino disappearance) the present range of sensitivity for the mixing angle between standard and sterile neutrinos. These extensions are larger than those achieved in any other proposal presented so far.

title:  Transparency and Digital Technologies in Public Procurement During the Pandemic
Creators: name: Valenti  ,  Giulia
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press

description: Roma Tre Law Review – 02/2022
description: In the fight against the pandemic, the Italian Government adopted strong simplification measures of the Public Procurement system, with the purpose of ensuring the quick delivery of essential goods and services and in the hope of avoiding the stop of many relevant economic activities. ese measures simplified the procedure for Public Tenders by eliminating some controls and disclosure obligations. Yet these measures brought out a trade-off between transparency and simplification that damaged the possibility of democratic control over public action. E-procurement 2.0 could make it possible to overcome this trade-off. The article will start with the analysis of the principle of transparency and its difference with inferability, it will then analyze the Italian governance through the pandemic and touch on the new e-procurement systems as a possible solution to the lack of inferability of public action.

HETEROGENEOUS FIRMS MODELS AND FINANCIAL MARKET FRICTIONS
Creators: name: CRUCITTI, FRANCESCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: The common thread in this thesis is represented by general equilibrium models with heterogeneous firms. Initiated by Huggett (1993) and Aiyagari (1994), a strand of general equilibrium literature characterized by the distribution of heterogeneous individuals has been developed. In recent years, the introduction of heterogeneity in macroeconomics increased exponentially. The thesis is developed in this context. The first chapter provides a methodological analysis. It examines the importance of the modelization choice of the idiosyncratic productivity process of individuals. The second chapter proposes a theoretical model which can be able to reconcile four important facts shared by most of the advanced economies around the world: declining labor share of income, rising capital misallocation, low total factor productivity growth and the declining relative price of investment goods.

description: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) express various kinds of organelles, so-called pili or fimbriae, that mediate adhesion to host tissue in the urinary tract through specific receptor-adhesin interactions. The biomechanical properties of these pili have been considered important for the ability of bacteria to withstand shear forces from rinsing urine flows. Force measuring optical tweezers have been used to characterize individual organelles of F1C type expressed by UPEC bacteria with respect to such properties. Qualitatively, the force-vs.-elongation response was found to be similar to that of other types of helix-like pili expressed by UPEC, i.e. type 1, P, and S, with force-induced elongation in three regions of which one represents the important uncoiling mechanism of the helix-like quaternary structure. Quantitatively, the steady-state uncoiling force was assessed to 26.4(1.4) pN, which is similar to those of other pili (which range from 21 pN for SI to 30 pN for type 1). The corner velocity for dynamic response (1400 nm/s) was found to be larger than those of the other pili (400 -700 nm/s for S and P pili, and 6 nm/s for type 1). The kinetics were found to be faster, with a thermal opening rate of 17 Hz, a few times higher than S and P pili, and three orders of magnitude times higher than type 1. These data suggest that F1C pili are, like P and S pili, evolutionary-selected to primarily withstand the conditions expressed in the upper urinary tract.

description: Conducting and interpreting videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) is a complex, multi-dimensional task, requiring post-qualification training to develop knowledge, skill and competence. Speech-language pathology (SLP) managers must continually ensure staffs are adequately trained to deliver safe and effective VFSS services. However, VFSS training is resource intensive, variable in content and not consistently accessed universally. This study examined managers’ perceptions of a new VFSS eLearning programme and its impact on VFSS training and service delivery. The eLearning programme incorporated theoretical and procedural aspects of VFSS, accessed free of charge by speech-language pathologists working in a large public health service in Queensland, Australia. Twenty-two SLP managers participated in semi-structured interviews, which were evaluated using inductive content analysis. Four themes were identified relating to eLearning benefits: (1) design and content facilitated widespread uptake, (2) enhanced training opportunities, (3) increased clinical skill and workforce capacity and (4) benefits and efficiencies for SLP services. A fifth theme described contextual considerations for using the programme. This study contributes information about the benefits of eLearning for delivering consistent, accessible VFSS training, in a resource-efficient manner. Managers perceived the eLearning programme as a valuable resource to supplement practical VFSS training, to ultimately support VFSS service provision.

description: Objectives: To examine how misidentification of dementia affects estimation of Medicare costs in a largely minority cohort of participants for whom accurate in‐person diagnoses are available. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Washington Heights‐Inwood Columbia Aging Project, a multiethnic, population‐based, prospective study of cognitive aging of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older. Participants: Individuals clinically diagnosed with dementia (n=495) and individuals clinically diagnosed without dementia (n=1,701). Measurements: Medicare claims‐identified dementia was defined according to the presence of any International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in all available claims during the study period. Participant characteristics associated with claims misidentification of dementia were estimated using logistic regression. Effects of dementia misidentification on Medicare expenditures were estimated using generalized linear models. Results: Medicare claims correctly identified 250 of the 495 (51%) dementia cases and 1,565 of the 1,701 (92%) nondementia cases. Sensitivity of claims‐identified dementia was 0.51, and specificity was 0.92. Average annual Medicare expenditures were $14,721 for a beneficiary with a clinical diagnosis of dementia, and $18,208 for a beneficiary with claim‐identified dementia, suggesting an overestimation of $3,487 per person per year when Medicare claims were used to identify dementia. Total annual expenditures for all beneficiaries with claims‐identified dementia were $258,707 lower than that for all those who were clinically diagnosed, suggesting an overall underestimation of total Medicare expenditures if Medicare claims were used to identify dementia. Different types of misidentification have different effects on dementia‐related cost estimates. Average annual expenditures per person were highest for false positives. Conclusion: Misidentification of dementia in Medicare claims is common. Using claims to identify dementia may result in significantly biased estimates of the cost of dementia.

description: As the crisis of 2011, known as the Arab Spring, broke out, two monarchies in the region, Morocco and Jordan, faced the need to reform their judicial systems in order to preserve stability by means of constitutional reforms that would deliver both countries from poor guarantees of judicial independence and lack of transparency or efficiency. This research thesis will analyse the external and internal dynamics of judicial reforms adopted in Morocco and Jordan since 2011. In particular, we have chosen an important empirical field where the two most similar countries receiving external support to judicial reforms show a variation on the judicial systemic level. This variation is still unexplored and our knowledge of the dynamics of domestic veto players and external support to the judiciary could be further enhanced through comparative analysis of two most similar cases using a Most Similar Systems Design (Mill 1882).

description: Purpose: Conducting and interpreting videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) is a complex, multi-dimensional task, requiring post-qualification training to develop knowledge, skill and competence. Speech-language pathology (SLP) managers must continually ensure staffs are adequately trained to deliver safe and effective VFSS services. However, VFSS training is resource intensive, variable in content and not consistently accessed universally. This study examined managers’ perceptions of a new VFSS eLearning programme and its impact on VFSS training and service delivery. The eLearning programme incorporated theoretical and procedural aspects of VFSS, accessed free of charge by speech-language pathologists working in a large public health service in Queensland, Australia. Method: Twenty-two SLP managers participated in semi-structured interviews, which were evaluated using inductive content analysis. Result: Four themes were identified relating to eLearning benefits: (1) design and content facilitated widespread uptake, (2) enhanced training opportunities, (3) increased clinical skill and workforce capacity and (4) benefits and efficiencies for SLP services. A fifth theme described contextual considerations for using the programme. Conclusion: This study contributes information about the benefits of eLearning for delivering consistent, accessible VFSS training, in a resource-efficient manner. Managers perceived the eLearning programme as a valuable resource to supplement practical VFSS training, to ultimately support VFSS service provision.

description: We study the electronic and magnetic structures of multiferroic CaMn$_7$O$_{12}$ by first-principle calculations, based on the experimentally determined modulated crystal structure. We confirm the presence of a 3$d$ orbital modulation of the Mn2 (Mn$^{3+}$) sites, previously inferred from the Jahn-Teller crystal distortions. Our results indicate that in the multiferroic phase the magnetic structure of the Mn3 (Mn$^{4+}$) sites is anharmonically modulated via orbitally-mediated coupling with the structural modulation, and that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and exchange striction mechanisms contribute equally to the polarization

description: It is now widely accepted that dense filaments of molecular gas are integral to the process of stellar birth. While numerical simulations have succeeded in reproducing filamentary structure in turbulent gas and analytic calculations have predicted the formation of dense gas filaments via radial collapse, the exact process(es) that generate/s such filaments which then form prestellar cores within them, is unclear. In this work we therefore study numerically the formation of a dense filament using a relatively simple set-up of a uniform-density cylinder in pressure equilibrium with its confining medium. In particular, we examine if its propensity to form a dense filament and further, to the formation of prestellar cores within this filament bears on the gravitational state of the initial volume of gas. We report a radial collapse leading to the formation of a dense filamentary cloud is likely when the initial volume of gas is at least critically stable (characterised by the approximate equality between the mass line-density for this volume and its maximum value). Though self-gravitating, this volume of gas, however, is not seen to be in free-fall. This post-collapse filament then fragments along its length due to the growth of a Jeans-like instability to form prestellar cores like \emph{beads on a string}. We suggest, dense filaments in typical star-forming clouds classified as gravitationally super-critical under the assumption of : (i) isothermality when in fact, they are not, and (ii) extended radial profiles as against one that is pressure-truncated, thereby causing significant over-estimation of their mass line-density, are unlikely to experience gravitational free-fall. The radial density and temperature profile derived for this post-collapse filament is consistent with that deduced for typical filamentary clouds mapped in recent surveys of nearby star-forming regions.

description: Simulation is increasingly used within speech-language pathology education. Research has primarily explored students’ perceptions of learning in simulation. The aim of this study was to determine if speech-language pathology students achieved a statistically-equivalent level of competency when a mean of 20% of placement time was replaced with simulation compared to placements without a simulation component. This non-inferiority randomised controlled trial involved students from six Australian universities. Students were randomised to either a simulation + traditional placement group attending 5 days of simulation prior to their traditional placement, or a traditional only placement group. Their end-placement clinical competency was assessed using Competency Assessment in Speech Pathology (COMPASS®). Final data were available for 325 students: 150 students in traditional placements, 138 students in protocol-compliant simulation + traditional placements, and 37 students in non-protocol simulation + traditional placements. There were no statistically significant differences between groups (traditional vs protocol-compliant simulation + traditional Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon z = 1.23, df = 286, p = 0.22; traditional vs intention-to-treat simulation + traditional Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon z = 0.23, df = 323, p = 0.81). This research contributes to the evidence base which suggests that simulation can partially replace traditional placement time for speech-language pathology students without loss of competency, substantiating its value as an alternative placement model in speech-language pathology programmes.

description: Objective: To assess the prognostic role of multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) in diabetics with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Use of MDCT-CA is increasing in patients with suspected CAD. However, data supporting its prognostic value in diabetics are limited. Research Design and Methods: Between January 2006 and September 2007, 429 consecutive diabetic patients were prospectively studied with MDCT-CA for detecting presence and assessing extent of CAD (disease extension and coronary plaque scores). Patients were classified according to the presence of normal coronaries, non-obstructive (<50%) and obstructive (>50%) coronary lesions. The composite rates of hard cardiac events (cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina) and all cardiac events (including revascularization) were the end points of the study. Results: Twenty-four patients were excluded because MDCT-CA data were uninterpretable. Of the remaining 405 patients, clinical follow-up (mean 62�9 months) was obtained in 390 (98%). By multivariate analysis, predictors of hard and all events were obstructive CAD, 3-vessel CAD and left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Cumulative event-free survival was 100% for hard and all events in patients with normal coronary arteries, 78% for hard events and 56% for all events in patients with non-obstructive CAD, and 60% for hard events and 16% for all events in patients with obstructive CAD. Three-vessel CAD and LMCA disease was associated with higher rate of hard cardiac events. Conclusions: MDCT-CA provides long-term prognostic information in diabetics with suspected CAD, showing excellent prognosis when there is no evidence of atherosclerosis and allowing risk stratification when CAD is present.

description: In cosmological scenarios with thermal inflation, extra eras of moduli matter domination, thermal inflation and flaton matter domination exist between primordial inflation and the radiation domination of Big Bang nucleosynthesis. During these eras, cosmological perturbations on small scales can enter and re-exit the horizon, modifying the power spectrum on those scales. The largest modified scale, $k_\mathrm{b}$, touches the horizon size when the expansion changes from deflation to inflation at the transition from moduli domination to thermal inflation. We analytically calculate the evolution of perturbations from moduli domination through thermal inflation and evaluate the curvature perturbation on the constant radiation density hypersurface at the end of thermal inflation to determine the late time curvature perturbation. Our resulting transfer function suppresses the power spectrum by a factor $\sim 50$ at $k \gg k_\mathrm{b}$, with $k_\mathrm{b}$ corresponding to anywhere from megaparsec to subparsec scales depending on the parameters of thermal inflation. Thus, thermal inflation might be constrained or detected by small scale observations such as CMB distortions or 21cm hydrogen line observations.

description: Changes in land use and climate are the main drivers of change in soil organic matter contents. We investigated the impact of the largest policy-induced land conversion to arable land, the Virgin Lands Campaign (VLC), from 1954 to 1963, of the massive cropland abandonment after 1990 and of climate change on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in steppes of Russia and Kazakhstan. We simulated carbon budgets from the pre-VLC period (1900) until 2100 using a dynamic vegetation model to assess the impacts of observed land-use change as well as future climate and land-use change scenarios. The simulations suggest for the entire VLC region (266 million hectares) that the historic cropland expansion resulted in emissions of 1.6⋅ 1015 g (= 1.6 Pg) carbon between 1950 and 1965 compared to 0.6 Pg in a scenario without the expansion. From 1990 to 2100, climate change alone is projected to cause emissions of about 1.8 (± 1.1) Pg carbon. Hypothetical recultivation of the cropland that has been abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union until 2050 may cause emissions of 3.5 (± 0.9) Pg carbon until 2100, whereas the abandonment of all cropland until 2050 would lead to sequestration of 1.8 (± 1.2) Pg carbon. For the climate scenarios based on SRES (Special Report on Emission Scenarios) emission pathways, SOC declined only moderately for constant land use but substantially with further cropland expansion. The variation of SOC in response to the climate scenarios was smaller than that in response to the land-use scenarios. This suggests that the effects of land-use change on SOC dynamics may become as relevant as those of future climate change in the Eurasian steppes.

description: Cherenkov Telescopes are equipped with optical dishes of large diameter -- in general based on segmented mirrors -- with typical angular resolution of a few arc-minutes. To evaluate the mirror's quality specific metrological systems are required that possibly take into account the environmental conditions in which typically these telescopes operate (in open air without dome protection). For this purpose a new facility for the characterization of mirrors has been developed at the labs of the Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera of the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics. The facility allows the precise measurement of the radius of curvature and the distribution of the concentred light in terms of focused and scattered components and it works in open air. In this paper we describe the facility and report some examples of its measuring capabilities.
