description: The quadruple lensed system WGD2038-4008 was recently discovered with the help of new techniques and observations. Even though black hole mass has been estimated for lensed quasars, it has been calculated mostly for one broad emission line of one image, but the images could be affected by microlensing, affecting the results. We present black hole mass (MBH) estimations for images A and B using the three most prominent broad emission lines (H$α$, H$β$ and MgII) obtained in one single-epoch spectra. This is the first time the mass is estimated in a lensed quasar in two images, allowing us to disentangle the effects of microlensing. We used the X-shooter instrument mounted in VLT, to observe this system taking advantage of its wide spectral range. Using the flux ratio between the continuum and the core of the emission lines we analyzed if microlensing was present in the continuum source. We obtained MBH using the single-epoch method with the H$α$ and H$β$ emission lines from the monochromatic luminosity and the velocity width. The luminosity at 3000 Å was obtained using the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of image A while the luminosity at 5100 Å was estimated directly from the spectra. The average MBH between the images obtained was $\rm log_{10}$(M$_{BH}/M_{\odot}$) = 8.27 $\pm$ 1.05, 8.25 $\pm$ 0.32 and 8.59 $\pm$ 0.35 for MgII, H$β$ and H$α$ respectively. We find Eddington ratios similar to those measured in the literature for unlensed low-luminosity quasars. Microlensing of -0.16 $\pm$ 0.06 mag. in the continuum was found but the induced error in the MBH is minor compared to the one associated to the macromodel magnification. We also obtained the accretion disk size using the MBH for the three emission lines, obtaining an average value of $\rm log_{10}(r_{s}/cm)$ = 15.3 +/- 0.63, which is in agreement with theoretical estimates.

description: We examine the quantum theory of the spontaneous breaking of lattice rotation symmetry in d-wave superconductors on the square lattice. This is described by a field theory of an Ising nematic order parameter coupled to the gapless fermionic quasiparticles. We determine the structure of the renormalization group to all orders in a 1/N_f expansion, where N_f is the number of fermion spin components. Asymptotically exact results are obtained for the quantum critical theory in which, as in the large N_f theory, the nematic order has a large anomalous dimension, and the fermion spectral functions are highly anisotropic.

Hydrodynamic induced by an array of wave energy converters.
Experimental and numerical analysis
Creators: name: Angelelli, Elisa <1985>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: ICAR/01 Idraulica

description: The thesis analyses the hydrodynamic induced by an array of Wave energy Converters (WECs), under an experimental and numerical point of view.  WECs can be considered an innovative solution able to contribute to the green energy supply and –at the same time– to protect the rear coastal area under marine spatial planning considerations.  This research activity essentially rises due to this combined concept.  
The WEC under exam is a floating device belonging to the Wave Activated Bodies (WAB) class.
Experimental data were performed at Aalborg University in different scales and layouts, and the performance of the models was analysed under a variety of irregular wave attacks.
The numerical simulations performed with the codes MIKE 21 BW and ANSYS-AQWA.  Experimental results were also used to calibrate the numerical parameters and/or to directly been compared to numerical results, in order to extend the experimental database.
Results of the research activity are summarized in terms of device performance and guidelines for a future wave farm installation.  The device length should be “tuned” based on the local climate conditions.  The wave transmission behind the devices is pretty high, suggesting that the tested layout should be considered as a module of a wave farm installation.  Indications on the minimum inter-distance among the devices are provided.  Furthermore, a CALM mooring system leads to lower wave transmission and also larger power production than a spread mooring.  The two numerical codes have different potentialities.  The hydrodynamics around single and multiple devices is obtained with MIKE 21 BW, while wave loads and motions for a single moored device are derived from ANSYS-AQWA.  
Combining the experimental and numerical it is suggested –for both coastal protection and energy production– to adopt a staggered layout, which will maximise the devices density and minimize the marine space required for the installation.

description: We report deep Sub-Millimeter Array observations of 26 pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars with evolved inner disks. These observations measure the mass of the outer disk (r ~20-100 AU) across every stage of the dissipation of the inner disk (r < 10 AU) as determined by the IR spectral energy distributions (SEDs). We find that only targets with high mid-IR excesses are detected and have disk masses in the 1-5 M_Jup range, while most of our objects remain undetected to sensitivity levels of M_DISK ~0.2-1.5 M_Jup. To put these results in a more general context, we collected publicly available data to construct the optical to millimeter wavelength SEDs of over 120 additional PMS stars. We find that the near-IR and mid-IR emission remain optically thick in objects whose disk masses span 2 orders of magnitude (~0.5-50 M_Jup). Taken together, these results imply that, in general, inner disks start to dissipate only after the outer disk has been significantly depleted of mass. This provides strong support for photoevaporation being one of the dominant processes driving disk evolution.

description: We propose and numerically simulate a semiconductor device based on coupled quantum wires, suitable for deterministic quantum teleportation of electrons trapped in the minima of surface acoustic waves.We exploit a network of interacting semiconductor quantum wires able to provide the universal set of gates for quantum information processing, with the qubit defined by the localization of a single electron in one of two coupled channels.The numerical approach is based on a time-dependent solution of the three-particle Schrödinger equation. First, a maximally entangled pair of electrons is obtained via Coulomb interaction between carriers in different channels. Then, a complete Bell-state measurement involving one electron from this pair and a third electron is performed. Finally, the teleported state is reconstructed by means of local one-qubit operations. The large estimated fidelity explicitely suggests that an efficient teleportation process could be reached in an experimental setup.

Sleep motor activity in parkinsonian syndromes at onset: a  prospective study to determine potential diagnostic and prognostic markers

description: Aim of this study is to describe the possible diagnostic value of sleep disturbances in the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by parkinsonism at onset. 42 consecutive patients with parkinsonian features and disease duration up to 3 years were included in the BO-ProPark study. Each patient was evaluated twice, at baseline (T0) and 16 months later (T1). Patients were diagnosed as Parkinson disease (PD, 27 patients), PD plus (PD with cognitive impairment/dementia or dysautonomia, 4 patients) and parkinsonian syndrome (PS, 11 patients). All patients underwent a full night video-polysomnography scored by a neurologist blinded to the clinical diagnosis. Sleep efficiency and total sleep time were reduced in all patients; wake after sleep onset was higher in patients with atypical parkinsonisms than in PD patients. No significant differences between groups of patients were detected in other sleep parameters. The mean percentage of epochs with enhanced tonic muscle EMG activity during REM sleep was higher in PD plus and PS than in PD. No difference in phasic muscle EMG activity during REM sleep was seen between the two groups. REM behaviour disorder was more frequent in PD plus and PS than in PD patients. Our data suggest that REM sleep motor control is more frequently impaired at disease onset in patients with PS and PD plus compared to PD patients. The presence of RBD or an enhanced tonic muscle EMG activity in a patient with recent onset parkinsonian features should suggest a diagnosis of atypical parkinsonism, rather than PD. More data are needed to establish the diagnostic value of these features in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonisms. The evaluation of sleep disorders may be a useful tool in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonism at onset.

They open up a profound perspective for next generation neutron-optical devices with the capability to tune or modulate the neutron diffraction efficiency.

description: We consider an ensemble of nxn real symmetric random matrices A whose entries are determined by independent identically distributed random variables that have symmetric probability distribution. Assuming that the moment 12+2delta of these random variables exists, we prove that the probability distribution of the spectral norm of A rescaled to n^{-2/3} is bounded by a universal expression. The proof is based on the completed and modified version of the approach proposed and developed by Ya. Sinai and A. Soshnikov to study high moments of Wigner random matrices.

description: Recent developments in the many-body perturbative QCD theory of inelastic parton interactions in dense nuclear matter and the phenomenology of strongly-interacting hard probes in heavy ion collisions are reviewed. We highlight the progress that has been made toward consistent comparison between radiative and collisional energy loss, the exploration of novel heavy flavor suppression mechanisms in the quark-gluon plasma, and the determination of the stopping power of cold nuclear matter. Future directions and opportunities for jet physics in nuclear collisions, enabled by the unprecedentedly high center of mass energies at the LHC, are also discussed. We propose that the physics of jet shapes and a generalizations of the well-understood inclusive particle suppression in the QGP will provide a new differential, and accurate test of the underlying QCD theory and a new precision tool for jet tomography at the LHC.

Three-Phase Unfolding Based Soft DC-Link Converter Topologies for AC to DC Applications
Creators: name: Yelaverthi, Dorai Babu
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are more efficient than internal combustion-based vehicles. Adaption of EVs will help reduce the carbon emissions produced by the transportation sector. The charging infrastructure has to grow at a rapid pace to encourage EV adaption. Installing higher capacity fast chargers will help alleviate the range anxiety of battery electric vehicle customers. More public charging stations are required for the full adaption of EVs. Utility power is distributed as ‘alternating current.’ A battery requires ‘direct current’ (DC) source to charge it. Hence a power converter that converts AC source to DC source is required to charge an electric vehicle battery.
Public transportation is another sector that is adapting electric vehicles at a fast pace. These vehicles require more power to operate and hence have huge battery packs. These vehicles require ultra-high-power charger to keep the charging time reasonable. A 60 Hz stepdown transformer is required at the facility to use the power. The cost and time to install this heavy transformer will inhibit the setting up a charging station. Power converters than can connect to medium voltage directly will eliminate the need for the step-down transformer saving space and cost.
Commercially available state-of-the-art fast charging converters are adapted from general purpose commercial and industrial application rectifiers. The efficiencies of these converters tend to be lower (around 94%) due to the two-stage power conversion architecture. All the power that flows from the AC utility grid to charge the battery will be processed and filtered through two power conversion stages. Due to the anticipated increase in demand, there is a renewed interest in developing power converter topologies specific to battery charging applications. The objective here is to develop cheaper and compact power converters for battery charging.
This dissertation proposes an innovative quasi-single stage power converter topologies for battery charging applications and direct medium voltage connected converters. The proposed topology fundamentally can achieve higher efficiency and power density than the conventional two-stage based converters. Only one stage requires filtering and incurs power conversion losses. Control burden is usually higher for single stage topologies. Innovative control approaches are presented to simplify the control complexity.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of global mild solutions for small initial data in $L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\cap H^s(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-spaces. We also prove the existence and uniqueness of local and global solutions in the framework of Bessel-potential spaces $H^s_p(\mathbb{R}^n)=(I-Δ)^{s/2}L^p(\mathbb{R}^n).$ In order to derive the existence results we develop new time decay estimates of the solution of the corresponding linear problem.

Mechanisms of Overyielding and Coexistence in Diverse Tallgrass Prairie Communities
Creators: name: Forero, Leslie E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Plants compete for the same basic nutrient and water resources. According to the competitive exclusion principle, when a substantial overlap in resource pools exists, the best competitor for resources should drive all other species to extinction. The ability for plants to coexist in violation of the competitive exclusion principle is the “biodiversity paradox”. Coexistence is actually beneficial for plants: as species diversity increases, you typically see increases in plant biomass production (known as the biodiversity-productivity relationship). The mechanisms behind coexistence and the biodiversity-productivity relationship remain an ecological mystery. One hypothesis is that plants obtain water and nutrients from different places in the soil, which reduces competition and results in plants coexisting and thriving by exploiting more spaces in the soil. Another hypothesis is that plants alter the soil in which they grow to their own detriment by accumulating species-specific soil pathogens or reducing soil nutrient levels. These plant-altered soils reduce the growth of species that are becoming too dominant in a plant community, creating a plant-soil feedback (PSF) effect that maintains biodiversity and increases productivity. I explored the role of PSFs and niche partitioning in coexistence and the biodiversity-productivity relationship. I investigated 1) how PSFs affect the biodiversity-productivity relationship in controlled greenhouse experiments, 2) whether greenhouse experiments are the best method to measure the role of PSFs in biodiverse communities in the field, 3) how PSFs affect the biodiversity-productivity relationship in diverse plant communities in the field, and 4) how partitioning of soil nitrogen and soil water affect coexistence and plant productivity.
Greenhouse experimentation suggested PSFs influence productivity and the biodiversity-productivity relationship, but PSFs when measured in the greenhouse were not correlated with PSFs that were measured in the field. This implies PSFs should be measured in the field when trying to predict coexistence or the biodiversity-productivity relationship as observed in the field. Our ability to predict coexistence and productivity in the field was slightly improved by the inclusion of PSFs. However, partitioning of soil water and soil nitrogen was strongly correlated with landscape productivity in the same system, indicating that PSFs are not the dominant mechanism of these phenomena.

description: Short wavelength exoplanet transit measurements have been used to probe mass-loss in exoplanet atmospheres. We present the Swift-UVOT transit light curves for five hot Jupiters orbiting UV-bright F-type stars: XO-3, KELT-3, WASP-3, WASP-62, and HAT-P-6. We report one positive transit detection of XO-3b and one marginal detection of KELT-3b. We place upper limits on the remaining three transit depths. The planetary radii derived from the NUV transit depths of both potential detections are 50-100% larger than their optical radius measurements. We examine the ratio $R_{\rm NUV}/R_{\rm opt}$ for trends as a function of estimated mass-loss rate, which we derive from X-ray luminosity obtained from the Swift-XRT, or XMM-Newton in the case of WASP-62. We find no correlation between the energy-limited photoevaporative mass-loss rate and the $R_{\rm NUV}/R_{\rm opt}$ ratio. We also search for trends based on the equilibrium temperature of the hot Jupiters. We find a possible indication of a transition in the $R_{\rm NUV}/R_{\rm opt}$ ratio around $T_{\rm eq} = 1700~{\rm K}$, analogous to the trends found for NIR water features in transmission spectra. This might be explained by the formation of extended cloud decks with silicate particles $\leq 1~μ{\rm m}$. We demonstrate that the Swift-UVOT filters could be sensitive to absorption from aerosols in exoplanet atmospheres.

The Effects of Trace Mineral Supplementation on Performance, Health, and Carcass Quality of At-Risk Mineral Deficient Feedlot Cattle
Creators: name: Brady, Tevan J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Morbidity in feedlot cattle due to disease is a common economical loss for feedlot producers. Utah is not typically considered a ‘feedlot state’, but there are several producers in the southern part of the state that specialize in receiving at-risk cattle. These cattle are at-risk because they are coming from areas known to be mineral deficient. Areas such as the western US, are known to be deficient in several trace minerals important in immune response. Therefore, it is critical that producers have an adequate plan to decrease the negative effects that this has on economic viability of their beef operations, especially for those feedlots specializing in receiving at-risk cattle. In this study yearling Black Angus steers received one of four treatments: no mineral supplementation, oral supplementation of minerals provided at levels similar to NRC requirements, oral supplementation of minerals provided at levels above NRC requirements, or a MultiMin® injection at labeled dose. Liver and blood samples were collected to measure mineral status and cortisol levels. Back fat and ribeye area measurements were also recorded. Weight of the steers were recorded every two weeks to determine average daily gain and feed:gain ratio. At the end of the study, steers were harvested at a local harvesting plant and carcass traits were obtained and recorded. There were no differences in weight gain, overall average daily gain, dry matter intake, or feed:gain ratio between the different treatment groups. Steers that were fed the HM had increased liver copper and selenium concentrations, but there was no effect observed on liver manganese and zinc concentrations. Carcass quality and antibody titers did not differ between the different treatments. These data indicate that different mineral supplementation strategies have a diverse effect on feedlot performance and liver mineral concentrations over time, and additional research is needed to better understand these differences.

description: The aim of this PhD thesis is the study of the nuclear properties of radio loud AGN. Multiple and/or recent mergers in the host galaxy and/or the presence of cool core in galaxy clusters can play a role in the formation and evolution of the radio source.
Being a unique class of objects (Lin & Mohr 2004), we focus on Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs). We investigate their parsec scale radio emission with VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer) observations. From literature or new data , we collect and analyse VLBA (Very Long Baseline) observations at 5 GHz of a complete sample of BCGs and ``normal'' radio galaxies (Bologna Complete Sample , BCS). Results on nuclear properties of BCGs are coming from the comparison with the results for the Bologna COmplete Sample (BCS). Our analysis finds a possible dichotomy between BCGs in cool-core clusters and those in non-cool-core clusters. Only one-sided BCGs have similar kinematic properties with FRIs.  Furthermore, the dominance of two-sided jet structures only in cooling clusters suggests sub-relativistic jet velocities. The different jet properties can be related to a different jet origin or
to the interaction with a different ISM. We larger discuss on possible explanation of this.

description: We investigate the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions on the low temperature magnetic susceptibility for a system whose low energy physics is dominated by short-range valence bonds (singlets). Our general perturbative approach is applied to specific models expected to be in this class, including the Shastry-Sutherland model of the spin-dimer compound SrCu_2(BO_3)_2 and the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model of the recently discovered S=1/2 kagome compound ZnCu_3(OH)_6Cl_2. The central result is that a short-ranged valence bond phase, when perturbed with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, will remain time-reversal symmetric in the absence of a magnetic field but the susceptibility will be nonzero in the T\to 0 limit. Applied to ZnCu_3(OH)_6Cl_2, this model provides an avenue for reconciling experimental results, such as the lack of magnetic order and lack of any sign of a spin gap, with known theoretical facts about the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet.

An Indicator Based Transportation Sustainability Assessment in Regional Development: A Case Study for Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Nabeela, Humaira Yusuf
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Evaluating sustainability for a key system like transportation can be vital for both planners and citizens alike, as planners provide the system and citizens use the system. A sustainable transportation system not only builds a prosperous economy, but it also ensures social equity and a healthy environment for years to come. There are differing scales of sustainability assessment, ranging from neighborhood to global. However, a sustainability scale between the local and national scale is not very common in practice. Therefore, this study offers a regional scale sustainability assessment for the transportation system that will address local changes while also reflecting national requirements. To do the assessment study, regional sustainability indicators for the transportation system have been used for benchmarking within a numerical scale. In the end, the study will provide an aggregated result that will represent the region’s transportation sustainability condition. Such an assessment is akin to evaluating a student based on grades for several subjects.

description: We develop a theory of normal-metal - superconductor (NS) and superconductor - superconductor (SS) tunnelling in bosonic superconductors with strong attractive correlations taking into account coherence effects in single-particle excitation spectrum and disorder. The theory accounts for the existence of two energy scales, their temperature and doping dependencies, asymmetry and inhomogeneity of tunnelling spectra of underdoped cuprate superconductors.

Effect of planned patient teaching and psychological support on the adaptation of the elderly patient to the surgical insertion of a permanent pacemaker
Creators: name: Shannon, Valerie Jane

description: An experimental study, using a pretest-posttest control group design, was conducted in a 570 bed acute care teaching hospital. Its purpose was to evaluate the effect of planned patient teaching and psychological support on the ability of the elderly patient to adapt to the surgical insertion of a permanent cardiac pacemaker. Nine subjects, who met the study criteria, were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. Each subject was asked if he would like to include a significant other in the project. The members of the experimental group (5 patients, 3 significant others) were seen individually by the nurse investigator on or close to the third, fourth and fifth postoperative day at which time their questions were answered, they were given the opportunity to express their concerns and, they were shown a 15 minute slide-tape programme about pacemakers. The members of the control group (4 patients, 4 significant others) were provided with the usual nursing care given by the ward nursing staff. All patients received a booklet from the company supplying their specific type of pacemaker. The hypotheses tested were: 1. Patient teaching and psychological support will increase the knowledge base of the patient and his significant other. 2. Patient teaching and psychological support will decrease the state and trait anxiety levels of the patient and his significant other. 3. Patient teaching and psychological support will enable the patient and his significant other to demonstrate pulse taking. 4. Patient teaching and psychological support will maintain or increase the activity level of the patient from his preoperative state. At approximately two and four weeks after discharge from the hospital, the nurse investigator visited all the patients in the study and their significant others. Knowledge base, anxiety (state and trait) level, activity level and pulse taking ability were measured on all patients; whereas, only knowledge base, pulse taking ability and anxiety (state and trait) level were measured on all significant others. No significant differences were found between the two groups on any of these variables. Some methodological problems and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

description: A measurement of proton inelastic scattering of $^8$He at $8.25A$~MeV at TRIUMF shows a resonance at 3.54(6)~MeV with a width of 0.89(11)~MeV. The energy of the state is in good agreement with coupled cluster and no-core shell model with continuum calculations, with the latter successfully describing the measured resonance width as well. Its differential cross section analyzed with phenomenological collective excitation form factor and microscopic coupled reaction channels framework consistently reveals a large deformation parameter $β_2$ = 0.40(3), consistent with no-core shell model predictions of a large neutron deformation. This deformed double-closed shell at the neutron drip-line opens a new paradigm.

Genome characterization through a mathematical model of the genetic code: an analysis of the whole chromosome 1 of A. thaliana

description: The objective of this work is to characterize the genome of the chromosome 1 of A.thaliana, a small flowering plants used as a model organism in studies of biology and genetics, on the basis of a recent mathematical model of the genetic code.

I analyze and compare different portions of the genome: genes, exons, coding sequences (CDS), introns, long introns, intergenes, untranslated regions (UTR) and regulatory sequences. In order to accomplish the task, I transformed  nucleotide sequences into binary sequences based on the definition of the three different dichotomic classes.
The descriptive analysis of binary strings indicate the presence of regularities in each portion of the genome considered. In particular, there are remarkable differences between coding sequences (CDS and exons) and non-coding sequences, suggesting that the frame is important only for coding sequences and that dichotomic classes can be useful to recognize them. 

Then, I assessed the existence of short-range dependence between binary sequences computed on the basis of the different dichotomic classes.
I used three different measures of dependence: the well-known chi-squared test and two indices derived from the concept of entropy i.e. Mutual Information (MI) and Sρ, a normalized version of the “Bhattacharya Hellinger Matusita distance”.
The results show that there is a significant short-range dependence structure only for the coding sequences whose existence is a clue of an underlying error detection and correction mechanism.

No doubt, further studies are needed in order to assess how the information carried by dichotomic classes could discriminate between coding and noncoding sequence and, therefore, contribute to unveil the role of the mathematical structure in error detection and correction mechanisms. Still, I have shown the potential of the approach presented for understanding the management of genetic information.
Generating Seed magnetic field à la Chiral Biermann battery

description: Cosmological and astrophysical observations indicate the presence of magnetic field over all scales. In order to explain these magnetic fields, it is assumed that there exists a seed magnetic field that gets amplified by dynamos. These seed fields may have been produced during inflation, at phase transitions, or some turbulent phase of the early universe. One well-known mechanism to get the seed field is the Biermann battery, which was originally discussed in the context of generation in an astrophysical object. Requirements for this mechanism to work are (i) non-zero gradient of the electron number density and pressure, (ii) they are non-parallel to each other. In the present article, we propose a similar mechanism to generate the seed field but in inhomogeneous chiral plasma. Our mechanism works, in presence of chiral anomaly, by the virtue of inhomogeneity in the chiral chemical potential and temperature. We will discuss various scenarios where inhomogeneities in the chemical potential and temperature can arise. We found that, depending on the epoch of generation, the strength of the seed magnetic fields varies from a few nano-Gauss (nG) to a few hundred nG.

description: Il modello gravitazionale e' ormai diventato un "cavallo da battaglia" in economia internazionle ed e' comunemente utilizzato nella determinazione dei flussi commerciali. Recentemente, molti studi hanno mostrato l'importanza della dipendenza spaziale, che va' a considerare quegli effetti dovuti al cosiddetto "third country".   Intervengono a questo scopo la modellistica e le tecniche di stima di Econometria Spaziale. Verra' fatto uso di tali tecniche allo scopo di stimare con un modello gravitazionale spaziale il commercio internazionale tra paesi dell'OCSE per un panel di 22 anni.
L'obiettivo e' quindi duplice: da un lato, si andra' ad applicare le piu' moderne tecniche di Econometria Spaziale, in un campo in cui tali contributi scarseggiano. Dall'altro lato,verra' fornita una interpretazione del comportamento del commercio internazionale tra paesi dell'OCSE, approfondendo gli aspetti relativi all'effetto del"third country" e del fenomeno migratorio. Inoltre , viene proposta un'analisi che ha lo scopo di validare l'ipotesi di omissione della distanza dal modello gravitazione strutturale.
description: The Gravity Model is the "workhorse for empirical studies" in International Economies and it is commonly used in explaining the trade flow between countries.  Recently,  several studies have showed the importance of taking into account the spatial effect.  Spatial Econometric techniques meet this matter, proposing the specification of a set of models and estimators. We will make use of these Spatial Econometric techniques  in order to estimate a Spatial Gravity of Trade for a 22-year-long panel of the OECD countries. The aim, therefore, is twofold: on one hand, we are going to use the newest Spatial Econometric techniques in a field where they aren't widely applicated. On the other hand, we provide an updated interpretation of the behaviour of the International Trade in an OECD context, going deeply on the explanation of the spatial spillover effect due to the third country dependence, and of the migratory phenomenon. Moreover, we propose an economically-based analysis whose aim is to avoid the use of the "distance" variable in the Gravity Model. The empirical results confirm the importance of taking into account the spatial dependence and they allow us to estimate the model wirhout the "distance", if properly replaced by a set of fixed effects.

description: Radio-metric Doppler tracking data received from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft from heliocentric distances of 20-70 AU has consistently indicated the presence of a small, anomalous, blue-shifted frequency drift uniformly changing with a rate of ~6 x 10^{-9} Hz/s. Ultimately, the drift was interpreted as a constant sunward deceleration of each particular spacecraft at the level of a_P = (8.74 +/- 1.33) x 10^{-10} m/s^2. This apparent violation of the Newton's gravitational inverse-square law has become known as the Pioneer anomaly; the nature of this anomaly remains unexplained. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the physical properties of the anomaly and the conditions that led to its detection and characterization. We review various mechanisms proposed to explain the anomaly and discuss the current state of efforts to determine its nature. A comprehensive new investigation of the anomalous behavior of the two Pioneers has begun recently. The new efforts rely on the much-extended set of radio-metric Doppler data for both spacecraft in conjunction with the newly available complete record of their telemetry files and a large archive of original project documentation. As the new study is yet to report its findings, this review provides the necessary background for the new results to appear in the near future. In particular, we provide a significant amount of information on the design, operations and behavior of the two Pioneers during their entire missions, including descriptions of various data formats and techniques used for their navigation and radio-science data analysis. As most of this information was recovered relatively recently, it was not used in the previous studies of the Pioneer anomaly, but it is critical for the new investigation.

description: It is shown that, in the infinite size limit, certain systems of globally coupled phase oscillators display low dimensional dynamics. In particular, we derive an explicit finite set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the macroscopic evolution of the systems considered. For example, an exact, closed form solution for the nonlinear time evolution of the Kuramoto problem with a Lorentzian oscillator frequency distribution function is obtained. Low dimensional behavior is also demonstrated for several prototypical extensions of the Kuramoto model, and time-delayed coupling is also considered.
