description: AKARI, the first Japanese satellite dedicated to infrared astronomy, was launched on 2006 February 21, and started observations in May of the same year. AKARI has a 68.5 cm cooled telescope, together with two focal-plane instruments, which survey the sky in six wavelength bands from the mid- to far-infrared. The instruments also have the capability for imaging and spectroscopy in the wavelength range 2 - 180 micron in the pointed observation mode, occasionally inserted into the continuous survey operation. The in-orbit cryogen lifetime is expected to be one and a half years. The All-Sky Survey will cover more than 90 percent of the whole sky with higher spatial resolution and wider wavelength coverage than that of the previous IRAS all-sky survey. Point source catalogues of the All-Sky Survey will be released to the astronomical community. The pointed observations will be used for deep surveys of selected sky areas and systematic observations of important astronomical targets. These will become an additional future heritage of this mission.

Approaches to procedural adequacy in logic programming using connection graphs
Creators: name: Moens, Theodore Warren Bernelot
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Kowalski's connection graph method provides a representation for logic programs which allows for the incorporation of better procedural control techniques than standard logic programming languages. A proposed search strategy for visual recognition which combines top-down and bottom-up techniques has been incorporated in a connection graph implementation. The connection graph representation also allows for the natural incorporation of constraint satisfaction techniques in logic programming. Kowalski's approach to incorporating constraint satisfaction techniques in connection graphs is examined in detail. It is shown that his approach is not efficient enough to be used as a general preprocessing algorithm but that a modified version may be of use. Increased control of search and the incorporation of consistency techniques increase the procedural adequacy of logic programs for representing knowledge without compromising the descriptive capacity of the form.

description: La dissertazione si propone di individuare e definire alcuni aspetti generali del complesso rapporto che la filosofia di Plotino intrattiene con la tradizione filosofica greca. A tal fine, si cercherà di determinare il modo in cui si configura all’interno della filosofia plotiniana un proposito teoretico-pratico che pervade l’intera tradizione filosofica da Socrate in poi, ovvero: la ricerca del bene. Avremo così la possibilità di osservare, a partire dai mutamenti che subisce questo progetto tradizionale nella riflessione di Plotino, certe concezioni specifiche della sua filosofia.

description: We propose and study a spin-orbit interaction based mechanism to actively cool down the torsional vibration of a nanomechanical resonator made by semiconductor materials. We show that the spin-orbit interactions of electrons can induce a coherent coupling between the electron spins and the torsional modes of nanomechanical vibration. This coherent coupling leads to an active cooling for the torsional modes via the dynamical thermalization of the resonator and the spin ensemble.

description: We present a minimal model that provides a description of the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of \Eu. The model contains two exchange coupling parameters, which are calculated using Density Functional Theory, and a local easy axis magnetic anisotropy term. The classical ground state of the system is a generalization of the well known 120$^\circ$ structure observed in triangular antiferromagnets. Monte Carlo simulations show two phase transitions as a function of the temperature. With increasing temperature, the system transitions from the ground state into a high-entropy collinear antiferromagnet, which in turn at higher temperatures presents a second order transition to a paramagnetic state. A high enough external magnetic field parallel to the anisotropy axis produces a spin-flop transition at low temperatures. The field also reduces the temperature range of stability of the collinear antiferromagnet phase and leads to a single phase transition as a function of the temperature. The reported behavior of the specific heat, the magnetization, and the magnetic susceptibility is in agreement with the available experimental data. Finally, we present the magnetic phase diagrams for magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the easy axis.

description: We describe the flight performance of the cryogenic system of the infrared astronomical satellite AKARI, which was successfully launched on 2006 February 21 (UT). AKARI carries a 68.5 cm telescope together with two focal plane instruments, Infrared Cameras (IRC) and Far Infrared Surveyor (FIS), all of which are cooled down to cryogenic temperature to achieve superior sensitivity. The AKARI cryogenic system is a unique hybrid system, which consists of cryogen (liquid helium) and mechanical coolers (2-stage Stirling coolers). With the help of the mechanical coolers, 179 L (26.0 kg) of super-fluid liquid helium can keep the instruments cryogenically cooled for more than 500 days. The on-orbit performance of the AKARI cryogenics is consistent with the design and pre-flight test, and the boil-off gas flow rate is as small as 0.32 mg/s. We observed the increase of the major axis of the AKARI orbit, which can be explained by the thrust due to thermal pressure of vented helium gas.

Challenges for Machine Learning Force Fields in Reproducing Potential Energy Surfaces of Flexible Molecules

description: Dynamics of flexible molecules are often determined by an interplay between local chemical bond fluctuations and conformational changes driven by long-range electrostatics and van der Waals interactions. This interplay between interactions yields complex potential-energy surfaces (PES) with multiple minima and transition paths between them. In this work, we assess the performance of state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) models, namely sGDML, SchNet, GAP/SOAP, and BPNN for reproducing such PES, while using limited amounts of reference data. As a benchmark, we use the cis to trans thermal relaxation in an azobenzene molecule, where at least three different transition mechanisms should be considered. Although GAP/SOAP, SchNet, and sGDML models can globally achieve chemical accuracy of 1 kcal mol-1 with fewer than 1000 training points, predictions greatly depend on the ML method used as well as the local region of the PES being sampled. Within a given ML method, large differences can be found between predictions of close-to-equilibrium and transition regions, as well as for different transition mechanisms. We identify key challenges that the ML models face in learning long-range interactions and the intrinsic limitations of commonly used atom-based descriptors. All in all, our results suggest switching from learning the entire PES within a single model to using multiple local models with optimized descriptors, training sets, and architectures for different parts of complex PES.
Il rapporto banca-impresa tra politiche di erogazione del credito e scelte di struttura finanziaria. Un'analisi empirica sulle PMI
Creators: name: Rispo, Maria Rosaria
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: Il rapporto Banca-Impresa costituisce un ampio tema diffusamente trattato.
L’importanza di tale argomento risiede nella natura bancocentrica del sistema finanziario italiano, peculiare anche per il “nanismo aziendale” che lo contraddistingue in Europa e nel mondo.
In questo lavoro di ricerca il tema del rapporto banca-impresa viene trattato sia dal punto di vista dell’azienda che dal punto di vista della banca.
Attraverso un’ampia analisi relativamente alla struttura finanziaria aziendale, ai sistemi finanziari, alle modalità relazionali tra banca e impresa, alle politiche di credito e alle relazioni multiple bancarie, si giunge all’osservazione del mondo delle PMI e dei loro elementi distintivi nelle scelte finanziarie e di indebitamento bancario.
L’elaborato è articolato in quattro sezioni, ciascuna espressione completa ed analitica dei temi chiave della ricerca: la struttura finanziaria, il relationship lending , il multiaffidamento e il caso delle PMI.
Tutto il primo capitolo è dedicato alla caratterizzazione delle politiche finanziarie (di cui si è cercato di fornire una definizione) nella scelta della struttura finanziaria. Sono state trattate tutte le teorie economiche più rilevanti relative alla ricerca della struttura finanziaria ottimale, sottolineando le differenze tra grandi imprese (principale soggetto della letteratura economica, per lo più statunitense) e PMI. Una volta sottolineata l’incidenza della componente bancaria nel capitale di debito delle imprese italiane ed europee a differenza di quelle anglo-americane, si è passati, nel secondo capitolo, all’analisi specifica e comparativa dei sistemi finanziari market oriented e bank oriented, dei canali di finanziamento arm’ lengh financing e informed financing e del relationship banking confrontato con il sistema di asset-based lending. Ci si è soffermati, vista la rilevanza nell’universo aziendale delle PMI italiane, sul relationship lending/banking, sugli effetti, vantaggi e svantaggi e sul confronto con il transactional lending. Nell’ambito della delineazione dei profili caratteristici del rapporto banca-impresa è stato analizzato, nel terzo capitolo, il fenomeno del multiaffidamento, osservato nelle sue dimensioni in Italia, in Europa e America. Sono stati presi in analisi i tratti distintivi determinanti scelte di relazioni bancarie multiple, gli effetti di tali scelte e la correlazione delle stesse con le asimmetrie informative tra banca e impresa. Nell’ultimo capitolo tutte le assunzioni, teorie, verifiche empiriche fatte, sono state applicate all’universo delle PMI. Partendo da un’analisi di contesto, con la quale è stato osservato il fenomeno del “nanismo” italiano, calato nella realtà europea, si è arrivati all’elaborazione di un caso empirico, con una pausa digressiva ontologica sulle PMI. In quest’ultima parte, è stato attribuito un volto empirico a tutta la precedente analisi teorica.

description: We present multi-wavelength spectral and temporal variability analysis of PKS 0027-426 using optical griz observations from DES (Dark Energy Survey) between 2013-2018 and VOILETTE (VEILS Optical Light curves of Extragalactic TransienT Events) between 2018-2019 and near infrared (NIR) JKs observations from VEILS (VISTAExtragalactic Infrared Legacy Survey) between 2017-2019. Multiple methods of cross-correlation of each combination of light curve provides measurements of possible lags between optical-optical, optical-NIR, and NIR-NIR emission, for each observation season and for the entire observational period. Inter-band time lag measurements consistently suggest either simultaneous emission or delays between emission regions on timescales smaller than the cadences of observations. The colour-magnitude relation between each combination of filters was also studied to determine the spectral behaviour of PKS 0027-426. Our results demonstrate complex colour behaviour that changes between bluer when brighter (BWB), stable when brighter (SWB) and redder when brighter (RWB) trends over different timescales and using different combinations of optical filters. Additional analysis of the optical spectra is performed to provide further understanding of this complex spectral behaviour.

description: We present a reformulation of a contact-implicit optimization (CIO) approach that computes optimal trajectories for rigid-body systems in contact-rich settings. A hard-contact model is assumed, and the unilateral constraints are imposed in the form of complementarity conditions. Newton's impact law is adopted for enhanced physical correctness. The optimal control problem is formulated as a multi-staged program through a multiple-shooting scheme. This problem structure is exploited within the FORCES Pro framework to retrieve optimal motion plans, contact sequences and control inputs with increased computational efficiency. We investigate our method on a variety of dynamic object manipulation tasks, performed by a six degrees of freedom robot. The dynamic feasibility of the optimal trajectories, as well as the repeatability and accuracy of the task-satisfaction are verified through simulations and real hardware experiments on one of the manipulation problems.

A graphical extension for Pascal based on the Graphical Kernel System
Creators: name: Starr, Cynthia Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Graphical Kernel System (GKS), the first international standard in the area of computer graphics, was adopted by the International Standards Organization in 1985. The United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States have also adopted GKS as a national standard. This thesis examines the feasibility of developing a high-level graphical extension to a general-purpose programming language based on the GKS standard. Because GKS was designed as a subroutine system, programming with it is awkward. The subroutine call provides a low-level mechanism for accessing the graphical capabilities standardized by GKS. EZ/GKS is a high-level graphical extension to the Pascal/VS language implementing the functionality found in GKS level 2A. The level of abstraction for graphics programming is elevated in EZ/GKS through the use of abstract graphical data types. Operations on graphical data types are provided by structured graphical assignments, high-level graphical statements, graphical expressions and system-defined functions. Complex user-defined data types may be constructed from any of the predefined graphical data types in the usual manner provided by Pascal. No major syntactic or semantic difficulties were encountered during the design and implementation of EZ/GKS. Thus, it appears that the GKS standard can indeed be elevated successfully to a high-level graphical extension of a general-purpose programming language.
Misura di frequenza di segnali periodici in condizioni critiche di rumore

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: Il lavoro contiene la proposta di un metodo per la stima della frequenza di una sinusoide corrotta da rumore bianco gaussiano a media nulla. Il metodo utilizza gli istogrammi degli intervalli di tempo tra i campioni di zero crossing e il principio della risonanza stocastica. Il metodo è stato validato per diversi livelli di rumore e mostra che l'errore relativo percentuale è inferiore rispetto a quelli ricavati da altri algoritmi. Le prestazioni sono state confrontate anche con quelle dei contatori numerici. Il metodo può essere facilmente implementato su dispositivi a basso costo ed è molto efficiente dal punto di vista computazionale.

description: We study the potential of the MCP-PMT read-out to detect single photo-electron using transmission lines. Such a solution limits the number of read-out channels, has a uniform time resolution across the PMT surface and provides quasi-continuous measurement of the spatial coordinates. The proposed solution is designed to be used in the BOLD-PET project aiming to develop an innovative detection module for the positron emission tomography using the liquid detection media, the tri-methyl bismuth. In this study we use the commercial MCP-PMT Planacon from Photonis, with 32x32 anode structure. The PCB gathers signals from anode pads in 32 transmission lines which are read-out from both ends. Amplifier boards and SAMPIC modules, developed in our labs, allow us to realize the cost-effective, multi-channel digitization of signals with excellent precision. For a single photo-electron, we measured a time resolution of 70~ps (FWHM) simultaneously with a spatial accuracy of 1.6~mm and 0.9~mm (FWHM) along and across transmission lines correspondingly.

description: We report on H-band, ground-based observations of a transit of the hot Neptune GJ 436b. Once combined to achieve sampling equivalent to archived observations taken with Spitzer, our measurements reach comparable precision levels. We analyze both sets of observations in a consistent way, and measure the rate of orbital inclination change to be of 0.02+/-0.04 degrees in the time span between the two observations (253.8 d, corresponding to 0.03+/-0.05 degrees/yr if extrapolated). This rate allows us to put limits on the relative inclination between the two planets by performing simulations of planetary systems, including a second planet, GJ 436c, whose presence has been recently suggested (Ribas et al. 2008). The allowed inclinations for a 5 M_E super-Earth GJ 436c in a 5.2 d orbit are within ~7 degrees of the one of GJ 436b; for larger differences the observed inclination change can be reproduced only during short sections (<50%) of the orbital evolution of the system. The measured times of three transit centers of the system do not show any departure from linear ephemeris, a result that is only reproduced in <1% of the simulated orbits. Put together, these results argue against the proposed planet candidate GJ 436c.

description: The design of drug delivery systems needs to consider biocompatibility and host body recognition for an adequate actuation. In this work, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) surfaces were successfully modified with two silane molecules to provide mixed-charge brushes (-NH3/-PO3) and well evaluated in terms of surface properties, low-fouling capability and cell uptake in comparison to PEGylated MSNs. The modification process consists in the simultaneous direct-grafting of hydrolysable short chain amino (aminopropyl silanetriol, APST) and phosphonate-based (trihydroxy-silyl-propyl-methyl-phosphonate, THSPMP) silane molecules able to provide a pseudo-zwitterionic nature under physiological pH conditions. Results confirmed that both mixed-charged pseudo-zwitterionic MSNs (ZMSN) and PEG-MSN display a significant reduction of serum protein adhesion and macrophages uptake with respect to pristine MSNs. In the case of ZMSNs, his reduction is up to a 70-90% for protein adsorption and c.a. 60% for cellular uptake. This pseudo-zwitterionic modification has been focused on the aim of local treatment of bacterial infections through the synergistic effect between the capability of the nanocarriers to transport and deliver specific drugs and the electrostatic interactions between the mixed-charge systems and bacteria. These findings open promising future expectations for the effective treatment of bacterial infections through the use mixed-charge pseudo-zwitterionic MSNs furtive to macrophages and with antimicrobial properties.

TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF QUANTUM DECOHERENCE
IN SUPERCONDUCTING JOSEPHSON QUBITS
Creators: name: Bruno, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: The aim of this thesis was to realize superconducting quantum bits by using novel fabrication techniques and materials in order to enhance the coherence time of the
former devices. For the system to be studied we chose the
ux-biased phase qubit, which consists of a Josephson junction integrated in a superconducting loop. This
qubit realization has some advantages, which make it an ideal test-bed for different fabrication technologies and materials. Relatively large Josephson junctions can be
used in the phase qubit realization, which are easy to be fabricated by using standard lithographic technology with the flexibility of employing various fabrication techniques
and materials.
The coherence of current-generation of superconducting qubits seems to be limited by intrinsic sources of noise and energy loss, related to materials' defects (two-level
systems, TLSs) on the surfaces and interfaces of the superconducting lms, and in the bulk of the dielectric
films used for the microelectronic realization of the circuits.
For this reason, we aimed our research activities on the realization of low loss dielectrics (a-Si:H), on its integration with Josephson junction technologies, on the
protection of the superconducting films' surfaces from unwanted contamination, and on the optimization of the circuit design and fabrication processes.
Degrees and Gaps: Tight Complexity Results of General Factor Problems Parameterized by Treewidth and Cutwidth

description: For the General Factor problem we are given an undirected graph $G$ and for each vertex $v\in V(G)$ a finite set $B_v$ of non-negative integers. The task is to decide if there is a subset $S\subseteq E(G)$ such that $deg_S(v)\in B_v$ for all vertices $v$ of $G$. The maxgap of a finite integer set $B$ is the largest $d\ge 0$ such that there is an $a\ge 0$ with $[a,a+d+1]\cap B=\{a,a+d+1\}$. Cornuéjols (1988) showed that if the maxgap of all sets $B_v$ is at most 1, then the decision version of General Factor is poly-time solvable. Dudycz and Paluch (2018) extended this result for the minimization and maximization versions. Using convolution techniques from van Rooij (2020), we improve upon the previous algorithm by Arulselvan et al. (2018) and present an algorithm counting the number of solutions of a certain size in time $O^*((M+1)^k)$, given a tree decomposition of width $k$, where $M=\max_v \max B_v$. We prove that this algorithm is essentially optimal for all cases that are not polynomial time solvable for the decision, minimization or maximization versions. We prove that such improvements are not possible even for $B$-Factor, which is General Factor on graphs where all sets $B_v$ agree with the fixed set $B$. We show that for every fixed $B$ where the problem is NP-hard, our new algorithm cannot be significantly improved: assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), no algorithm can solve $B$-Factor in time $O^*((\max B+1-ε)^k)$ for any $ε>0$. We extend this bound to the counting version of $B$-Factor for arbitrary, non-trivial sets $B$, assuming #SETH. We also investigate the parameterization of the problem by cutwidth. Unlike for treewidth, a larger set $B$ does not make the problem harder: Given a linear layout of width $k$ we give a $O^*(2^k)$ algorithm for any $B$ and provide a matching lower bound that this is optimal for the NP-hard cases.

description: This brief review recalls some chapters in theory of sliding incommensurate density waves which may have appeared after inspirations from studies of I.E Dzyaloshinskii and collaborations with him. First we address the spin density waves which rich order parameter allows for an unusual object of a complex topological nature: a half-integer dislocation combined with a semi-vortex of the staggered magnetization. It becomes energetically preferable with respect to an ordinary dislocation due to the high Coulomb energy at low concentration of carriers. Generation of these objects should form a sequence of pi-phase slips in accordance with experimental doubling of phase-slips rate. Next, we revise the commonly employed TDGL approach which is shown to suffer from a violation of the charge conservation law resulting in nonphysical generation of particles which is particularly pronounced for electronic vortices in the course of their nucleation or motion. The suggested consistent theory exploits the chiral transformations taking into account the principle contribution of the fermionic chiral anomaly to the effective action. The derived equations clarify partitions of charges,currents and rigidity among subsystems of the condensate and normal carriers and the gluing electric field. Being non-analytical with respect to the order parameter, contrarily the conventional TDGL type, the resulting equations still allow for a numerical modeling of transient processes related to space- and spatio-temporal vorticity in DWs.

description: The effect of scattering of conduction electrons by dynamical spin fluctuations on the thermopower in metals near a thermal phase transition into an antiferromagnetic phase is considered. We are interested in a transition at room temperature, as has been studied in a heterostructure involving layers of IrMn. We show that the electrical resistivity exhibits a narrow but low peak at the transition, which may be difficult to detect on top of the main contributions induced by phonons and impurities. By contrast, the thermopower is found to exhibit a prominent peak both as a function of temperature T for fixed layer thickness tAFM and as a function of tAFM for fixed T: We conjecture that the transition temperature Tc is a function of both tAFM and the Fermi energy EF . Both dependencies give rise to a sharp peak of the thermopower as a function of T or tAFM near the transition. The estimated magnitude of the peak for the case of three-dimensional longitudinal spin fluctuations is in good agreement with experiment.

description: This review is focused on various properties of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in the Interacting Boson Model (IBM) of nuclear structure. The model in its infinite-size limit exhibits shape-phase transitions between spherical, deformed prolate, and deformed oblate forms of the ground state. Finite-size precursors of such behavior are verified by robust variations of nuclear properties (nuclear masses, excitation energies, transition probabilities for low lying levels) across the chart of nuclides. Simultaneously, the model serves as a theoretical laboratory for studying diverse general features of QPTs in interacting many-body systems, which differ in many respects from lattice models of solid-state physics. We outline the most important fields of the present interest: (a) The coexistence of first- and second-order phase transitions supports studies related to the microscopic origin of the QPT phenomena. (b) The competing quantum phases are characterized by specific dynamical symmetries and novel symmetry related approaches are developed to describe also the transitional dynamical domains. (c) In some parameter regions, the QPT-like behavior can be ascribed also to individual excited states, which is linked to the thermodynamic and classical descriptions of the system. (d) The model and its phase structure can be extended in many directions: by separating proton and neutron excitations, considering odd-fermion degrees of freedom or different particle-hole configurations, by including other types of bosons, higher order interactions, and by imposing external rotation. All these aspects of IBM phase transitions are relevant in the interpretation of experimental data and important for a fundamental understanding of the QPT phenomenon.

description: The dream of every surfer is an extremely steep wave propagating at the highest speed possible. The best waves for this would be shock waves, but are very hard to surf. In the nanoscopic world the same is true: the surfers in this case are electrons riding through nanomechanical devices on acoustic waves [1]. Naturally, this has a broad range of applications in sensor technology and for communication electronics for which the combination of an electronic and a mechanical degree of freedom is essential. But this is also of interest for fundamental aspects of nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), when it comes to quantum limited displacement detection [2] and the control of phonon number states [3]. Here, we study the formation of shock waves in a NEMS resonator with an embedded two-dimensional electron gas using surface acoustic waves. The mechanical displacement of the nano-resonator is read out via the induced acoustoelectric current. Applying acoustical standing waves we are able to determine the anomalous acoustocurrent. This current is only found in the regime of shock wave formation. We ontain very good agreement with model calculations.
