description: ParaHydrogen Induced Polarization-Side Arm Hydrogenation (PHIP-SAH) is an inexpensive tool to obtain hyperpolarized pyruvate (and other metabolites) that can be applied to in-vivo diagnostics, for the investigation of metabolic processes. This method is based on hydrogenation, using hydrogen enriched in the para-isomer, of unsaturated substrates, catalyzed, usually, by a homogeneous rhodium(I) complex. In this work, the effect of the solvent on the hydrogenation efficiency and on the hyperpolarization level were investigated. Coordinating solvents, such as acetone and methanol, can increase significantly either the efficiency or the hyperpolarization level, but they are not compatible with the intended metabolic applications. The phase extraction of the hyperpolarized product (sodium pyruvate) in an aqueous solution was obtained carrying out the hydrogenation reaction in chloroform and toluene. The traces of the organic solvents in the water phase were removed, by means of filtration through a lipophilic resin, thus improving the biocompatibility of the aqueous solution of the hyperpolarized product.

Physiological and environmental factors affecting the immune reactivity of captive Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis, Shaw, 1804)
Creators: name: Emslie, Dorothy Ruth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Populations of bighorn sheep have been severely depleted by respiratory disease during the past one hundred years. Although numerous pathogens contribute to the complex etiology of this disease, physiological and environmental factors may also contribute to the frequency and severity of this disease. Therefore, the primary objectives of this study were to (a) assess immune competence and physiological and parasitological status of healthy and diseased bighorn sheep and (b) determine which physiological and environmental factors contribute to immune competence. Since lymphocyte transformation appears to be a sensitive index of immune competence, in a second part of this study attempts were made to miniaturize an existing macroleukocyte culture technique. If simple enough, such a technique could be used to evaluate the immune competence of free ranging animals. Results of this study indicate that immune competence is variable between individuals and may oscillate preceeding episodes of disease. However, low immune reactivity, depressed nutritional status and increased levels of general inflammation appear to occur during episodes of disease. Although numerous variables contribute to immune competence, high levels of seromucoid were associated with low immune reactivity. In a second part of this study suggestions were made for the development of a microlymphocyte culture. Although the data collected in this preliminary study suggest that this technique may be possible to assess immune reactivity in the field, further investigations are necessary to standardize this method.

description: The needed of new intermediates/products for screening in the fields of drug discovery and material science is the driving force behind the development of new methodologies and technologies. Organic scaffolds are privileged targets for this scouting. Among them a priority place must be attributed to those including nitrogen functionalities in their scaffolds. It comes out that new methodologies, allowing the introduction of the nitrogen atom for the synthesis of an established target or for the curiosity driven researches, will always be welcome. The target of this PhD Thesis’ work is framed within this goal. Accordingly, Chapter 1 reports the preparation of new N-Heteroarylmethyl 3-carboxy-5-hydroxy piperidine scaffold, as potential and selective α-glucosidase inhibitors. The proposed reversible uncompetitive mechanism of inhibition makes them attractive as interesting candidate for drug development. Chapter 2 is more environmentally method-driven research. Eco-friendly studies on the synthesis of enantiomerically pure 1,4-dihydropyridines using “solid” ammonia (magnesium nitride) is reported via classical Hantzch method. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 may be targeted as the core of the Thesis’s research work. Chapter 3 reports the studies addressed to the synthesis of N-containing heterocycles by using N-trialkylsilylimine/hetero-Diels–Alder (HAD) approach. New eco-friendly methodology as MAOS (Microwave Assisted Organic Synthesis) has been used as witness of our interest to a sustainable chemistry. Theoretical calculations were adopted to fully clarify the reaction mechanism. Chapter 4 is dedicated to picture the most recent studies performed on the application of N-Metallo-ketene imines (metallo= Si, Sn, Al), relatively new intermediates which are becoming very popular, in the preparation of highly functionalized N-containing derivatives, accordingly to the Thesis’ target. Derivatives obtained are designed in such a way that they could be of interest in the field of drug and new material chemistry.

description: We report about the detection of 10 clusters of galaxies in the ongoing Swift/BAT all-sky survey. This sample, which comprises mostly merging clusters, was serendipitously detected in the 15--55 keV band. We use the BAT sample to investigate the presence of excess hard X-rays above the thermal emission. The BAT clusters do not show significant (e.g. >2 $σ$) non-thermal hard X-ray emission. The only exception is represented by Perseus whose high-energy emission is likely due to NGC 1275. Using XMM-Newton, Swift/XRT, Chandra and BAT data, we are able to produce upper limits on the Inverse Compton (IC) emission mechanism which are in disagreement with most of the previously claimed hard X-ray excesses. The coupling of the X-ray upper limits on the IC mechanism to radio data shows that in some clusters the magnetic field might be larger than 0.5 $μ$G. We also derive the first logN-logS and luminosity function distribution of galaxy clusters above 15 keV.

description: Understanding the opto-electronic properties of semiconducting polymers under external strain is essential for their applications in flexible opto-electronic, light-emitting and photovoltaic devices. While prior studies have highlighted the impact of static strains applied on a macroscopic length scale, assessing the effect of a local transient deformation before structural relaxation occurs is challenging due to the required high spatio-temporal resolution. Here, we employ scanning ultrafast electron microscopy (SUEM) to image the dynamical effect of a photo-induced transient strain in the archetypal semiconducting polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). We observe that the photo-induced SUEM contrast, corresponding to the local change of secondary electron emission, exhibits a ring-shaped spatial profile with a rise time of $\sim 300$ ps, beyond which the profile persists in the absence of a spatial diffusion. We attribute the observation to the electronic structure modulation of P3HT caused by a photo-induced strain field owing to its relatively low modulus and strong electron-lattice coupling, as supported by a finite-element analysis. Our work provides insights into tailoring opto-electronic properties using transient mechanical deformation in semiconducting polymers, and demonstrates the versatility of SUEM to study photo-physical processes in diverse materials.

description: Excited-state quantum phase transitions depend on and reveal the structure of the whole spectrum of many-body systems. While they are theoretically well understood, finding suitable signatures and detect them in actual experiments remains challenging. For instance, in spinor gases, excited-state phases have been identified and characterized through a topological order parameter that is challenging to measure in experiments. Here, we propose the Raman-dressed spin-orbit coupled gas as a novel platform to explore excited-state quantum phase transitions. In a weakly-coupled regime, the dressed system is equivalent to a spinor gas with tunable spin-spin interactions. Through this equivalence we are able to define a new excited-state phase of the dressed gas. The phase is characterize by the the behavior of the spatial density modulations, or stripes, induced by spin-orbit coupling, and can in principle be measured in current state-of-the-art experiments with ultracold atoms. Conversely, we show that the properties of the excited phase can be exploited to prepare stripe states with large and stable density modulations.

description: We present a collection of double-lobed sources towards a 20 sq deg area of the Cygnus region at the northern sky, observed at 325 and 610~MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. The 10'' resolution achieved at 325 MHz is 5.5 times better than previous studies, while at 610~MHz these are the first results ever of such a large area, mapped with 6'' angular resolution. After a thorough visual inspection of the images at the two bands, we found 43 double-lobed source candidates, proposed as such due to the presence of two bright peaks, within a few arcminutes apart, joined by a bridge or a central nucleus. All but two are presented here as double-lobed candidates for the first time. Thirty-nine of the candidates were covered at both bands, and we provide the spectral index information for them. We have searched for positional coincidences between the detected sources/components and other objects from the literature, along the electromagnetic spectrum. Twenty-three candidates possess radio counterpart(s), 12 present infrared counterparts, and one showed an overlapping X-ray source. We analysed each candidate considering morphology, counterparts, and spectral indices. Out of the 43 candidates, 37 show characteristics compatible with an extragalactic nature, two of probably Galactic origin, three remain as dubious cases, though with feature(s) compatible with an extragalactic nature, and the remaining one, evidence of physically unrelated components. The median spectral index of the 40 putative extragalactic sources is -1.0. Their celestial surface density at 610~MHz resulted in 1.9 per sq deg, across a region lying at the Galactic plane.

description: High sensitivity radio searches of unassociated $γ$-ray sources have proven to be an effective way of finding new pulsars. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) during its commissioning phase, we have carried out a number of targeted deep searches of \textit{Fermi} Large Area Telescope (LAT) $γ$-ray sources. On Feb. 27$^{th}$, 2018 we discovered an isolated millisecond pulsar (MSP), PSR J0318+0253, coincident with the unassociated $γ$-ray source 3FGL J0318.1+0252. PSR J0318+0253 has a spin period of $5.19$ milliseconds, a dispersion measure (DM) of $26$ pc cm$^{-3}$ corresponding to a DM distance of about $1.3$ kpc, and a period-averaged flux density of $\sim$11 $\pm$ 2 $μ$Jy at L-band (1.05-1.45 GHz). Among all high energy MSPs, PSR J0318+0253 is the faintest ever detected in radio bands, by a factor of at least $\sim$4 in terms of L-band fluxes. With the aid of the radio ephemeris, an analysis of 9.6 years of \textit{Fermi}-LAT data revealed that PSR J0318+0253 also displays strong $γ$-ray pulsations. Follow-up observations carried out by both Arecibo and FAST suggest a likely spectral turn-over around 350 MHz. This is the first result from the collaboration between FAST and the \textit{Fermi}-LAT teams as well as the first confirmed new MSP discovery by FAST, raising hopes for the detection of many more MSPs. Such discoveries will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the neutron star zoo while potentially contributing to the future detection of gravitational waves, via pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments.

description: Heat transport in a three-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma was experimentally studied in microgravity conditions using Plasmakristall-4 (PK-4) instrument on board the International Space Station (ISS). An extended suspension of microparticles was locally heated by a shear flow created by applying the radiation pressure force of the manipulation-laser beam. Individual particle trajectories in the flow were analysed and from these, using a fluid heat transport equation that takes viscous heating and neutral gas drag into account, the complex plasma's thermal diffusivity and kinematic viscosity were calculated. Their values are compared with previous results reported in ground-based experiments with complex plasmas.

description: Fibre-Reinforced-Plastics are composite materials composed by thin fibres with high mechanical properties, made to work together with a cohesive plastic matrix. The huge advantages of fibre reinforced plastics over traditional materials are their high specific mechanical properties i.e. high stiffness and strength to weight ratios. This kind of composite materials is the most disruptive innovation in the structural materials field seen in recent years and the areas of potential application are still many. 
However, there are few aspects which limit their growth: on the one hand the information available about their properties and long term behaviour is still scarce, especially if compared with traditional materials for which there has been developed an extended database through years of use and research. 
On the other hand, the technologies of production are still not as developed as the ones available to form plastics, metals and other traditional materials. A third aspect is that the new properties presented by these materials e.g. their anisotropy, difficult the design of components. 
This thesis will provide several case-studies with advancements regarding the three limitations mentioned.
In particular, the long term mechanical properties have been studied through an experimental analysis of the impact of seawater on GFRP. Regarding production methods, the pre-impregnated cured in autoclave process was considered: a rapid tooling method to produce moulds will be presented, and a study about the production of thick components. Also, two liquid composite moulding methods will be presented, with a case-study regarding a large component with sandwich structure that was produced with the Vacuum-Assisted-Resin-Infusion method, and a case-study regarding a thick con-rod beam that was produced with the Resin-Transfer-Moulding process. The final case-study will analyse the loads acting during the use of a particular sportive component, made with FRP layers and a sandwich structure, practical design rules will be provided.

description: In recent years, nanotechnologies have led to the production of materials with new and sometimes unexpected qualities through the manipulation of nanoscale components.
This research aimed primarily to the study of the correlation between hierarchical structures of hybrid organic-inorganic materials such as conductive polymer composites (CPCs). 
Using a bottom-up methodology, we could synthesize a wide range of inorganic nanometric materials with a high degree of homogeneity and purity, such as thiol capped metal nanoparticles, stoichiometric geomimetic chrysotile nanotubes and metal dioxide nanoparticles.  It was also possible to produce inorganic systems formed from the interaction between the synthesized materials.
These synthesized materials and others like multiwalled carbon nanotubes and grapheme oxide were used to produce conductive polymer composites.  
Electrospinning causes polymer fibers to become elongated using an electric field.  This technique was used to produce fibers with a nanometric diameter of a polymer blend based on two different intrinsically conducting polymers polymers (ICPs): polyaniline (PANI) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT).
Using different materials as second phase in the initial electrospun polymer fibers caused significant changes to the material hierarchical structure, leading to the creation of CPCs with modified electrical properties. Further study of the properties of these new materials resulted in a better understanding of the electrical conductivity mechanisms in these electrospun materials.

description: Questa tesi prende in esame le convergenze culturali (tecniche e prassi attoriali) nelle metodologie pedagogiche del “secondo” Novecento teatrale. L’analisi riguarda il modo in cui le tecniche provenienti dai derivati della tradizione africana – in particolare le azioni, i gesti e gli atteggiamenti corporei usati nelle danze sacre del Candomblé – e lo studio degli organi espressivi del corpo permettono all’ artista della scena di acquisire conoscenze pragmatiche su determinati automatismi della sua struttura bio-psichica. 
L’esame di queste convergenze è fatto pertanto attraverso l’analisi di pratiche teatrali che ammettono le interconnessioni culturali, le “migrazioni” ed i “contagi” fra tecniche teatrali europee e modus operandi extraeuropei. 
Mediante l’analisi di queste pratiche pedagogiche transculturali si verifica che, gli elementi tecnico-espressivi “estranei” appartenenti ad altre culture possono essere efficaci in un tipo di metodologia “meticcia” solo quando questo modus operandi transculturale contempla la partecipazione collaborativa tra i soggetti coinvolti nel processo educativo.
description: This thesis examines the cultural convergences (atorial techniques and practices) on pedagogical approaches theater in the second half of the 20th century. Thus, we seek to examine and understand how the techniques employed from African tradition, in particular, actions, gestures and postures used in sacred dances of Candomblé, well as the study of the organs of expression of this body, could facilitate the artist scene acquire pragmatic knowledge about certain automatisms present in his biophysic structure.
The examination of these convergences is made through the analysis of theatrical practices that introduce significant technical elements-European and extra-European in a pedagogical approach designed specifically to the education-formation of the actor.
The analysis, based on these cross-cultural teaching practices, notes that the technical and espressive elements "strangers" can be effective in a type of teaching methodology “hybrid”, only when this cross-cultural modus operandi provides the collaborative participation among individuals involved in the educational process .

description: Small black holes in heterotic string theory have vanishing horizon area at the supergravity level, but the horizon is stretched to the finite radius $AdS_2 \times S^{D-2}$ geometry once higher curvature corrections are turned on. This has been demonstrated to give good agreement with microscopic entropy counting. Previous considerations, however, were based on the classical local solutions valid only in the vicinity of the event horizon. Here we address the question of global existence of extremal black holes in the $D$-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory with the Gauss-Bonnet term introducing a variable dilaton coupling $a$ as a parameter. We show that asymptotically flat black holes exist only in a bounded region of the dilaton couplings $0 < a < a_{\rm cr}$ where $a_{\rm cr}$ depends on $D$. For $D \geq 5$ (but not for $D = 4$) the allowed range of $a$ includes the heterotic string values. For $a > a_{\rm cr}$ numerical solutions meet weak naked singularities at finite radii $r = r_{\rm cusp}$ (spherical cusps), where the scalar curvature diverges as $|r - r_{\rm cusp}|^{-1/2}$. For $D \geq 7$ cusps are met in pairs, so that solutions can be formally extended to asymptotically flat infinity choosing a suitable integration variable. We show, however, that radial geodesics cannot be continued through the cusp singularities, so such a continuation is unphysical.

A survey of the communities of Gore, Mataura and Wyndham was conducted in July 2020 to gather residents’ perspectives and experiences during the flooding event and ensuing evacuation. Topics included risk perception, weather and flood warnings, evacuation, impacts and demographics. Of the 1812 surveys delivered, 446 were returned, giving a 24.6% response rate. This report summarises the data results in the form of tables and graphs but does not contain interpretation or analysis (auth)

description: Supersymmetric theories with bilinear R-parity violation can give rise to the observed neutrino masses and mixings. One important feature of such models is that the lightest supersymmetric particle might have a sufficiently large lifetime to give rise to detached vertices. Working in the framework of supergravity models we analyze the potential of the LHCb experiment to search for supersymmetric models exhibiting bilinear R-parity violation. We show that the LHCb experiment can probe a large fraction of the $m_0 \otimes m_{1/2}$ being able to explore gluino masses up to 1.3 TeV. The LHCb discover potential for this kind of models is similar to the ATLAS and CMS ones in the low luminosity phase of operation of the LHC.

description: We use light-cone QCD sum rules to calculate the pion-photon transition form factor, taking into account radiative corrections up to the next-to-next-to-leading order of perturbation theory. We compare the obtained predictions with all available experimental data from the CELLO, CLEO, and the BaBar Collaborations. We point out that the BaBar data are incompatible with the convolution scheme of QCD, on which our predictions are based, and can possibly be explained only with a violation of the factorization theorem. We pull together recent theoretical results and comment on their significance.

description: When users rate objects, a sophisticated algorithm that takes into account ability or reputation may produce a fairer or more accurate aggregation of ratings than the straightforward arithmetic average. Recently a number of authors have proposed different co-determination algorithms where estimates of user and object reputation are refined iteratively together, permitting accurate measures of both to be derived directly from the rating data. However, simulations demonstrating these methods' efficacy assumed a continuum of rating values, consistent with typical physical modelling practice, whereas in most actual rating systems only a limited range of discrete values (such as a 5-star system) is employed. We perform a comparative test of several co-determination algorithms with different scales of discrete ratings and show that this seemingly minor modification in fact has a significant impact on algorithms' performance. Paradoxically, where rating resolution is low, increased noise in users' ratings may even improve the overall performance of the system.

Needlet Detection of Features in WMAP CMB Sky and the Impact on Anisotropies and Hemispherical Asymmetries

description: We apply spherical needlets to the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 5-year cosmic microwave background (CMB) dataset, to search for imprints of non-isotropic features in the CMB sky. We use the needlets localization properties to resolve peculiar features in the CMB sky and to study how these features contribute to the anisotropy power spectrum of the CMB. In addition to the now well-known "cold spot" of the CMB map in the southern hemisphere, we also find two hot spots at greater than 99% confidence level, again in the southern hemisphere and closer to the Galactic plane. While the cold spot contributes to the anisotropy power spectrum in the multipoles between l=6 to l=33, the hot spots are found to be dominating the anisotropy power in the range between l=6 and l=18. Masking both the cold and the two hot spots results in a reduction by about 15% in the amplitude of the angular power spectrum of CMB around l=10. The resulting changes to the cosmological parameters when the power spectrum is estimated masking these features (in addition to the WMAP team's KQ85 mask) are within the 1$σ$ errors published with the WMAP mask only. We also study the asymmetry between the angular power spectra evaluated on the northern and southern hemispheres. When the features detected by needlets are masked, we find that the difference in the power, measured in terms of the anisotropy variance between l=4 and l=18, is reduced by a factor 2. We make available a mask related to needlet features for more detailed studies on asymmetries in the CMB anisotropy sky.

Search for dark matter annihilation signals from UFOs with H.E.S.S

description: Cosmological N-body simulations show that Milky-Way-sized galaxies harbor a population of unmerged dark matter subhalos. These subhalos could shine in gamma rays and be eventually detected in gamma-ray surveys as unidentified sources. We search for very-high-energy (VHE, $E\geq 100$ GeV) gamma-ray emission using H.E.S.S. observations carried out from a thorough selection of unidentified Fermi-LAT Objects (UFOs) as dark matter subhalo candidates. Provided that the dark matter mass is higher than a few hundred GeV, the emission of the UFOs can be well described by dark matter annihilation models. No significant VHE gamma-ray emission is detected in any UFO dataset nor in their combination. We, therefore, derive constraints on the product of the velocity-weighted annihilation cross-section $\langle σv\rangle$ by the $J$-factor on dark matter models describing the UFO emissions. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are derived on $\langle σv\rangle J$ in $W^+W^-$ and $τ^+τ^-$ annihilation channels for the TeV dark matter particles. Focusing on thermal WIMPs, strong constraints on the $J$-factors are obtained from H.E.S.S. observations. Adopting model-dependent predictions from cosmological N-body simulations on the $J$-factor distribution function for Milky Way (MW)-sized galaxies, only $\lesssim 0.3$ TeV mass dark matter models marginally allow to explain observed UFO emission.

Order-$N$ orbital-free density-functional calculations with machine learning of functional derivatives for semiconductors and metals

description: Orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT) offers a challenging way of electronic-structure calculations scaled as $\mathcal{O}(N)$ computation for system size $N$. We here develop a scheme of the OFDFT calculations based on the accurate and transferrable kinetic-energy density functional (KEDF) which is created in an unprecedented way using appropriately constructed neural network (NN). We show that our OFDFT scheme reproduces the electron density obtained in the state-of-the-art DFT calculations and then provides accurate structural properties of 24 different systems, ranging from atoms, molecules, metals, semiconductors and an ionic material. The accuracy and the transferability of our KEDF is achieved by our NN training system in which the kinetic-energy functional derivative (KEFD) at each real-space grid point is used. The choice of the KEFD as a set of training data is essentially important, because first it appears directly in the Euler equation which one should solve and second, its learning assists in reproducing the physical quantity expressed as the first derivative of the total energy. More generally, the present development of KEDF $T[ρ]$ is in the line of systematic expansion in terms of the functional derivatives $δ^{\ell_1} T/δρ^{\ell_1}$ through progressive increase of $\ell_1$. The present numerical success demonstrates the validity of this approach. The computational cost of the present OFDFT scheme indeed shows the $\mathcal{O}(N)$ scaling, as is evidenced by the computations of the semiconductor SiC used in power electronics.

description: The thesis focuses on the ecological thought of Gregory Bateson and the contributions that such epistemology can offer nowadays to the educational scene, connecting in particular to the problematicistic perspective of Giovanni Maria Bertin with the aim of rethinking and updating it.
The writing explicates the meaning of education to an ecological knowledge, that privileges connections, creativity and solidarity with the living world. The work
analyzes, moreover, the cultural and epistemological value of relations focusing on ethic commitment as an instrument of promotion of the right to difference.
A final part of the work is dedicated to some ecological aspects such as environmental safeguard and development, fundamental topics especially for the educational context.
The Nuclear Suppression Factor for P_T increasing towards the Kinematic Limit

description: The suppression of high transverse momentum P_T hadron production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion (A-A) collisions as compared to the scaled expectation from proton-proton (p-p) collisions expressed as the nuclear modification factor R_AA is experimentally well established and can be traced back to interactions between the hard parton shower and the soft bulk matter. Physical intuition suggests that the medium modification should cease to be important when the hard scale of parton production is much larger than the typical momentum scale in the medium (e.g. the temperature T) and that consequently R_AA(P_T) -> 1 for P_T >> T. However, R_AA is not a 'simple' observable, but rather results from many different mechanisms which influence what happens when P_T increases. In particular, R_AA does not necessarily approch unity even if the hadron momentum is probed at the kinematic limit of the reaction. The aim of this work is to identify and discuss such mechanisms and to present different model expectations of what one would find if one could measure suppression out to the kinematic limit for hard hadron production and give predictions for the P_T dependence at both RHIC and LHC.
