description: The measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) can be immune to all detector side-channel attacks. Moreover, it can be easily implemented combining with the matured decoy-state methods under current technology. It thus seems a very promising candidate in practical implementation of quantum communications. However, it suffers from severe finite-data-size effect in most existing MDI-QKD protocols, resulting in relatively low key rates. Recently, Jiang et al. [Phys. Rev. A 103, 012402 (2021)] proposed a double-scanning method to drastically increase the key rate of MDI-QKD. Based on Jiang et al.'s theoretical work, here we for the first time implement the double-scanning method into MDI-QKD and carry out corresponding experimental demonstration. With a moderate number of pulses of 10^10, we can achieve 150 km secure transmission distance which is impossible with all former methods. Therefore, our present work paves the way towards practical implementation of MDI-QKD.

description: We investigate the Ti-doping effect on the charge density wave (CDW) of 1T-TaS2 by combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements and first-principle calculations. Although the Ti-doping induced phase evolution seems regular with increasing of the doping concentration (x), an unexpected chiral CDW phase is observed in the sample with x = 0.08, in which Ti atoms almost fully occupy the central Ta atoms in the CDW clusters. The emergence of the chiral CDW is proposed to be from the doping-enhanced orbital order. Only when x = 0.08, the possible long-range orbital order can trigger the chiral CDW phase. Compared with other 3d-elements doped 1T-TaS2, the Ti-doping retains the electronic flat band and the corresponding CDW phase, which is a prerequisite for the emergence of chirality. We expect that introducing elements with a strong orbital character may induce a chiral charge order in a broad class of CDW systems. The present results open up another avenue for further exploring the chiral CDW materials.

Looking up at seesaw and GUT scales from TeV

description: In this talk, I discuss how we may approach physics at the seesaw- and GUT-scales using data from the TeV scale. Even though we cannot hope to directly reach these energy scales using particle accelerators, we may get convinced of grand unification and seesaw mechanism based on experimental data if Nature is kind to us. In addition, we may find compelling reason to believe in leptogenesis based on experimental data. This cannot be achieved by a single experiment, but rather a collection of them, based on LHC, ILC, neutrino oscillation, neutrinoless double beta decay, direct dark matter detection, CMB power spectrum and its tensor mode.

description: We consider the estimation of the boundary of a set when it is known to be sufficiently smooth, to satisfy certain shape constraints and to have an additive structure. Our proposed method is based on spline estimation of a conditional quantile regression and is resistant to outliers and/or extreme values in the data. This work is a desirable extension of Martins-Filho and Yao (2007) and Wang et al. (2020) and can also be viewed as an alternative to existing estimators that have been used in empirical analysis. The results of a Monte Carlo study show that the new method outperforms the existing methods when outliers or heterogeneity are present. Our theoretical analysis indicates that our proposed boundary estimator is uniformly consistent under a set of standard assumptions. We illustrate practical use of our method by estimating two production functions using real-world data sets.

Photo excitation of the amorphous Si layer at visible wavelength and corresponding modification of its optical parameters is found to be responsible for the observed modulation of negative refractive index in near-IR.

description: On the basis of ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we derive the underlying microscopic model Hamiltonian for TiOCl, a unique system that shows two consecutive phase transitions from a Mott insulator to a spin-Peierls insulator through a structurally incommensurate phase. We show with our model that the presence of magnetic frustration in TiOCl leads to a competition with the spin-Peierls distortion, which results in the novel incommensurate phase. In addition, our calculations indicate that the spin-Peierls state is triggered by adiabatic phonons, which is essential for understanding the nature of the phase transition.

Cognitive strategies in judgment : the effect of purpose, cue dimensionality, and cognitive complexity on student evaluation of instructors
Creators: name: Kishor, Nand
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This investigation focused on describing cognition in performance judgment of teaching in higher education. The influence of appraisal purpose and cue dimensionality was observed on subjective importance and utilization of information. Information integration strategies were examined in relation to purpose and cognitive complexity. Exploratory analysis focused on the measurement of good instructor schema profiles, and on the effect of cognitive complexity on halo in performance ratings. Seventy subjects were assigned randomly to two purpose conditions in the experiment: summative and formative judgment. Two questionnaires, two rating tasks, and a Role Construct Repertory grid were adminstered for data collection. The data were analyzed through regression modeling at the individual level and via analysis of variance procedures at the group level. The results indicate that the impact of cue dimensions is strong on subjective importance and utilization of information but varies with the purpose of appraisal. Raters valued and utilized trait information more than behavior information in evaluation required for personnel decisions. Where evaluation was feedback on the quality of teaching and expressed the need for improvement, raters utilized behavior information more than trait information. This pattern of information utilization suggests that saliency of information in performance judgment is a function of purpose and cue dimensionality, and that appraisal purpose has an effect on raters' cognition through schematic processing. The results also show that the use of varied strategies in mentally integrating dimensions of information is affected by raters' cognitive complexity. Although subjects mainly used compensatory strategies, the complex individuals used noncompensatory strategies as well. Exploratory analysis shows that cognitive complexity also affects halo in rating judgments. The findings seem to support the validity of student rating of instructors, and the utility of cognitive complexity construct in understanding performance judgment. It is suggested that the influence of schematic processing and cue saliency be addressed in further theorizing and research on performance judgment. As well, the inclusion of purpose of judgment and developmental constructs, such as cognitive complexity, is recommended for theorizing and research on judgment processes.

description: In this work we study the asymmetric heat flow, i.e., thermal rectification, of a one-dimensional, mass-graded system consisting of acoupled harmonic oscillator lattice (ballistic spacer) and two diffusive leads attached to the boundaries of the former with both nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interactions. The latter enhance the rectification properties of the system and specially its independence on system size. The system presents a maximum rectification efficiency for a very precise value of the parameter that controls the coupling strength of the NNN interactions that depend on the temperature range wherein the device operates. The origin of this maximum value is the asymmetric local heat flow response corresponding to the NNN contribution at both sides of the lighter mass-loaded diffusive lead as quantified by the spectral properties. Upon variation of the system's parameters the performance of the device is always enhanced in the presence of NNN interactions.

Role of mTOR system and its relation with somatostatin and dopamine receptors on cell proliferation, hormone secretion and intracellular signalling in hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinomas.

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) are among the most lethal of human malignancies with s a very poor prognosis, with a <3% 5-years survival rate for untreated cancer. The actual therapies are limited to a little percentage of patients they are often diagnosed in advanced stages or even in metastatic conditions. In the last years, the idea of an “omics revolution” has given the basis to a new kind of therapies cancer, a molecular approach. In this work, we have focused our attention on mTOR pathway, its inhibitors and on their antiproliferative effects evaluating not only cell lines viability decrease after treatment with them, but also the molecular mechanism at basis of this phenomenon. In addition, our research project has investigated also somatostatin  and dopamine receptor expression with the purpose to identify a molecular profile of this cancer, using four different cell lines and 23 Caucasian patients. So, stimulation of these receptors with the correspondent ligands has demostrated that their best therapeutical effect is observed with use of drugs with affinity for two different receptors, probably due to heterodimerization of somatostatin receptors. These data have been confirmed by different kinds of experiments (evaluating proliferation, hormone secretion and intracellular signalling) revealing an emergent aspect of HCC, its neuroendocrine fenotype. Our future purpose is to clarify better some molecular aspects that regulate heterodimerization and to define the intracellular pathways activated by these analogues. We, also are going to evaluate the effects of a potential combination between mTOR inhibitors and somatostatin analogues underlining a possible signalling interaction.

description: HW Vir is a short-period binary that presents eclipse timing variations. Circumbinary planets have been proposed as a possible explanation, although the properties of the planets differ in each new study. Our aim is to perform robust model selection methods for eclipse timing variations (ETV) and error calculation techniques based on a frequentist approach for the case of the HW Vir system. We initially performed simultaneous light and radial velocity curve analysis to derive the masses of the binary. We then analyzed the eclipse timing variation of the system by fitting multiple models. To select the best model, we searched the confidence levels for the best model by creating an $χ^2$ surface grid and bootstrap methods for each pair of parameters. We searched for stable orbital configurations for our adopted ETV model. The masses of the binary are found as 0.413 $\pm$ 0.008 $M_\odot$ and 0.128 $\pm$ 0.004 $M_\odot$. Under the assumption of two light time effects superimposed on a secular change, the minimum masses of the circumbinary objects are calculated as $25.0_{-2.2}^{+3.5} \ M_{Jup}$ and $13.9_{-0.45}^{+0.60}\ M_{Jup}$. The projected semi-major axes are found to be $7.8_{-1.0}^{+1.4}\ au$ and $4.56_{-0.22}^{+0.27}\ au$ in respective order. We find that this configuration is unstable within a 3$σ$ range on the semi-major axis and eccentricity of the outer circumbinary object.

The discourse performance of native Indian students : a case study with implications for academic instruction
Creators: name: Anderson, Starla H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This investigation is concerned with the oral and written discourse performance of underachieving urban Native Indian secondary students. Primary data was collected during eight interactive talk-write sessions conducted individually with eight case study subjects. Within an ABAB design, two narrative and two academic topics were alternated. Oral discourse performance followed written discourse performance during each of the two (composing and revision) sessions conducted for each topic. Supplementary data includes: observations of classroom writing behaviors, interviews, analysis of students' record files, and standardized reading and writing assessments. The four male and four female subjects are from varying Native Indian cultural backgrounds but share common histories of family instability. Only one subject could read and write at skill levels expected of like-aged mainstream students. The writing processes and products of these subjects were similar to those of other unskilled (Basic) writers. They were overly concerned with surface errors and little concerned with overall conceptualization. Despite difficulties with writing, and contrary to established language theory developed from research with non-Native populations, these subjects were more at ease with written performance than oral performance. Further, their writing difficulties appeared to be more related to the demands of academic discourse than writing skills per se. They were more at ease with written narrative than any other combination of mode and genre. While previous research has seldom distinguished clearly between mode and genre of discourse, the findings of this investigation suggest that each of these factors may have differing effects for individuals and varying sub-groups. Findings also suggest that structural comparisons of oral and written modes of discourse may reflect differing linguistic demands of genre as much as mode. The interactive talk-write sessions were found to be an effective means for data collection. These sessions also revealed direction for improving methods of academic instruction. The subjects appeared to develop a better understanding of the purpose of academic discourse as they were helped to generate knowledge, theorize about this knowledge and shape their arguments. All subjects indicated that they would feel more confident about participating in academic discussions after thinking about the discussion topic through such a talk-write process.

The free open-source product "eLabFTW" serves as a case study. The analysis is based on an expert interview with the head of the conservation workshop and takes into account the specific needs of archaeological conservation and restoration. It shows that ELNs offer more than just digitalizing paper documentation. The results of this study provide insights into the possibilities and limitations of ELNs in non-scientific disciplines such as archaeology. They also offer recommendations for implementing ELNs in similar contexts, thereby contributing to improved workflows and quality assurance in the restauration workshop.
A Unified Yukawa Interaction for the Standard Model of Quarks and Leptons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: To address fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixings in the quark and lepton sectors, a minimal flavor structure without any redundant parameters beyond phenomenological observables is proposed via decomposition of the Standard Model Yukawa mass matrix into a bi-unitary form. After reviewing the roles and parameterization of the factorized matrix ${\bf M}_0^f$ and ${\bf F}_L^f$ in fermion masses and mixings, we generalize the mechanism to up- and down-type fermions to unify them into a universal quark/lepton Yukawa interaction. In the same way, a unified form of the description of the quark and lepton Yukawa interactions is also proposed, which shows a similar picture as the unification of gauge interactions.

description: Tidal disruption event (TDE) can launch an ultrafast outflow. If the black hole is surrounded by large amounts of clouds, outflow-cloud interaction will generate bow shocks, accelerate electrons and produce radio emission. Here we investigate the interaction between a non-relativistic outflow and clouds in active galaxies, which is manifested as outflow-BLR (broad line region) interaction, and can be extended to outflow-torus interaction. This process can generate considerable radio emission, which may account for the radio flares appearing a few months later after TDE outbursts. Benefitting from efficient energy conversion from outflow to shocks and the strong magnetic field, outflow-cloud interaction may play a non-negligible, or even dominating role in generating radio flares in a cloudy circumnuclear environment if the CNM density is no more than 100 times the Sgr A*-like one. In this case, the evolution of radio spectra can be used to directly constrain the properties of outflows.

Nanostrutture e nanocompositi metallo-polimero: sintesi e proprietà funzionali.
Creators: name: Palomba, Mariano
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2013

description: Questo lavoro di tesi è stato dedicato alla sintesi ed all’analisi delle proprietà funzionali di nanostrutture e di nanocompositi metallo-polimero. Sono state considerate tre classi di precursosi metallo-organici (Sali Clorurati di Oro, Acetilacetonati di Argento, Mercaptidi), partendo dai quali si è potuto generare, mediante metodiche di decomposizione termica in-situ, nanoparticelle metalliche incluse in polimero. Si sono valutate le proprietà e i vantaggi/problematiche di uso di ciascuna di tali classi di precursori, giungendo a considerare che la classe dei Tiolati o Mercaptidi, è stata la più versatile, ovvero quella che ha assicurato un controllo migliore e più efficace sulle proprietà morfologico-strutturali dei nanocompositi metallo-polimero, ottenuti dalla loro termolisi nella matrice polimerica, nonché un ottenimento più efficace e soprattutto modulabile delle proprietà funzionali, conseguenti alla nanostrutturazione. Sono state descritte le metodiche di sintesi, di ogni nanocomposito metallico in polimero realizzato a partire dai precursori considerati, nanocomposito caratterizzato in maniera morfologico-strutturale, nonché dal punto di vista funzionale, in relazione alle proprietà sorte in virtù della peculiarità della nanostrutturazione (caratterizzazioni ottiche, termoelettriche, antisettiche). È stata considerata la possibilità di realizzare dispositivi antisettici, piuttosto che anticontraffativi o con applicazioni nel termoelettrico, mediante i nanocompositi ottenuti, legando biunivocamente le proprietà funzionali apparse con i parametri di sintesi e di processo e con la classe di precursore considerata.

description: I sistemi dedicati (RM a basso campo), oltre a presentare enormi vantaggi sul piano dei costi e della maggior compliance che incontrano da parte dei pazienti, sono in grado di fornire informazioni precise sullo stato della cartilagine articolare in particolare del ginocchio, anche attraverso lo sviluppo di protocolli innovativi come la formazione di mappe rilassometriche (T2 mapping). L’utilizzo di apparecchiature a basso campo nello studio dell'articolazione del ginocchio ha permesso di evidenziare una correlazione positiva e statisticamente significativa tra danno cartilagineo ed età dei pazienti esaminati.
E’ inoltre da sottolineare come l’aggiunta del mappaggio T2 ad un protocollo routinario di RM del ginocchio migliori la sensibilità nella scoperta di lesioni cartilaginee nell’articolazione del ginocchio  con soltanto una piccola riduzione della specificità.

description: Direct disposal of spent nuclear fuel in underground repositories in stable geological formations is an alternative option for the reprocessing of spent fuel in Japan. Upon breakdown of the barriers between waste storage containers and the environment in a deep geological repository, release of radioactive nuclei from spent nuclear fuel into the environment will occur via groundwater. The release of radioactive nuclei will be dependent on the dissolution rate at the spent fuel/groundwater interface. The surface of UO2 in the spent fuel will be in the oxidized form UO2+x, and the extent of hyper-stoichiometry has implications for U dissolution. A key component of typical groundwater is bicarbonate which can range in concentration depending on repository location. Therefore, to understand the effect of bicarbonate on the UO2+x surface, UO2 pellets were immersed in bicarbonate solution for 298 days, and the UO2+x oxide surface was analysed by Raman spectroscopy. Detailed peak analysis of the Raman spectra showed increased defects after immersion attributed to the preferential dissolution of UV/VI from UO2+x. Differences in the defect concentration with and without bicarbonate were attributed to a change in U speciation (U(OH)4 to UO2(CO3)34-) as determined by speciation calculations. Raman depth profiles showed a constant value of x through the oxide surface.
Electromagnetic response of high-Tc superconductors -- the slave-boson and doped-carrier theories

description: We evaluate the doping dependence of the quasiparticle current and low temperature superfluid density in two slave-particle theories of the tt't''J model -- the slave-boson theory and doped-carrier theory. In the slave-boson theory, the nodal quasiparticle current renormalization factor $α$ vanishes proportionally to the zero temperature superfluid density $ρ_S(0)$; however, we find that away from the $ρ_S(0) \to 0$ limit $α$ displays a much weaker doping dependence than $ρ_S(0)$. A similar conclusion applies to the doped-carrier theory, which differentiates the nodal and antinodal regions of momentum space. Due to its momentum space anisotropy, the doped-carrier theory enhances the value of $α$ in the hole doped regime, bringing it to quantitative agreement with experiments, and reproduces the asymmetry between hole and electron doped cuprate superconductors. Finally, we use the doped-carrier theory to predict a specific experimental signature of local staggered spin correlations in doped Mott insulator superconductors which, we propose, should be observed in STM measurements of underdoped high-Tc compounds. This experimental signature distinguishes the doped-carrier theory from other candidate mean-field theories of high-Tc superconductors, like the slave-boson theory and the conventional BCS theory.

Reaching out a "geometrical" description for spin-4 self-dual models in $D=2+1$

description: Starting with a first order in derivatives self-dual model which describes a massive spin-4 mode in $D=2+1$ dimensions, we have obtained a sequence of three more new descriptions, which then give us an interconnected self-dual chain $SD(i)$ with $i=1,2,3,4$ indicating the order in derivatives. We have demonstrated that a powerful notation in terms of a self-adjoint operator $Ω$ in the frame-like scenario truly simplifies the investigation for new models and at the third order level can be converted to a geometrical description in terms of the much more usual totally symmetric double traceless field.

description: We report on infrared spectroscopy of bilayer graphene integrated in gated structures. We observed a significant asymmetry in the optical conductivity upon electrostatic doping of electrons and holes. We show that this finding arises from a marked asymmetry between the valence and conduction bands, which is mainly due to the inequivalence of the two sublattices within the graphene layer. From the conductivity data, the energy difference of the two sublattices is determined.

Analysis of antagonist-liganded estrogen receptor alpha interactomes: new insights on antiestrogen activity in human breast cancer cells
Creators: name: Cirillo, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2013

description: Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand activated transcription factor that controls key cellular pathways via protein−protein interactions involving multiple components of transcriptional coregulator and signal transduction complexes. Natural and synthetic ERα ligands are classified as agonists (17β-estradiol/E2), selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs: Tamoxifen/Tam and Raloxifene/ Ral), and pure antagonists (ICI 182,780-Fulvestrant/ ICI), according to the response they elicit in hormone responsive cells. Crystallographic analyses reveal ligand dependent ERα conformations, characterized by specific surface docking sites for functional protein−protein interactions, whose identification is needed to understand antiestrogen effects on estrogen target tissues, in particular breast cancer (BC). Tandem affinity purification (TAP) coupled to mass spectrometry was applied here to map nuclear ERα interactomes dependent upon different classes of ligands in hormone-responsive BC cells. Comparative analyses of agonist (E2)- vs antagonist (Tam, Ral or ICI)-bound ERα interacting proteins reveal significant differences among ER ligands that relate with their biological activity, identifying novel functional partners of antiestrogen−ERα complexes in human BC cell nuclei. In particular, the E2-dependent nuclear ERα interactome is different and more complex than those elicited by Tam, Ral, or ICI, which, in turn, are significantly divergent from each other, a result that provides clues to explain the pharmacological specificities of these compounds.

description: A classical lazy random walk on cycles is known to mix to the uniform distribution. In contrast, we show that a continuous-time quantum walk on cycles exhibit strong non-uniform mixing properties. Our results include the following: - The instantaneous distribution of a quantum walk on most even-length cycles is never uniform. - The average distribution of a quantum walk on any Abelian circulant graph is never uniform. As a corollary, the average distribution of a quantum walk on any standard circulant graph, such as the cycles, complete graphs, and even hypercubes, is never uniform.

Progettazione e Gestione dello Sviluppo Turistico di un Territorio: Uno Strumento di Supporto alle Decisioni

description: Il turismo può tramutarsi sia in un volano per lo sviluppo di un’area, sia in un boomerang che dopo un effimero e fragile riscontro economico, porta sul lungo periodo l'area al degrado. Gestire il turismo, per renderlo una risorsa duratura e sostenibile, significa scegliere politiche e strategie adatte alle reali condizioni culturali, sociali, ed economiche locali. È necessario quindi che il processo di sviluppo sia supportato sia nella fase d'innesco che in quella di gestione da idonee valutazioni e monitoraggi. Si propone quindi uno strumento di supporto alle decisioni per lo sviluppo turistico di un territorio.

description: We analyze a dataset of 51 current (2019-2020) Distributed Systems syllabi from top Computer Science programs, focusing on finding the prevalence and context in which topics related to performance are being taught in these courses. We also study the scale of the infrastructure mentioned in DS courses, from small client-server systems to cloud-scale, peer-to-peer, global-scale systems. We make eight main findings, covering goals such as performance, and scalability and its variant elasticity; activities such as performance benchmarking and monitoring; eight selected performance-enhancing techniques (replication, caching, sharding, load balancing, scheduling, streaming, migrating, and offloading); and control issues such as trade-offs that include performance and performance variability.
