CROSS-CULTURAL VALIDATION OF THE ACTIVITIES SCALE FOR KIDS PERFORMANCE VERSION: PROOF OF RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY IN ITALIAN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
Creators: name: COSTI, STEFANIA

description: Physical functioning is crucial to participation in life activities and it should always be accurately assessed in children with cerebral palsy, as it is a key element in the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities. The Activities Scale for Kids (ASK) is one of the few reliable and responsive outcome measures that allows children and adolescents to accurately report their physical functioning in typical activities for this age. The performance version of the ASK has recently been translated and culturally adapted to the Italian context and, in its original language, is currently used to assess children with cerebral palsy, although its psychometric properties have never been investigated in a wide sample of this population.
This PhD Thesis has been implemented to validate the Italian ASK performance version in children with cerebral palsy. Three cross-sectional studies were carried out to: a) provide a description of the ASKp score distribution in a population of 209 Italian healthy school aged individuals, b) test its internal consistency and construct validity in a population of 206 children with cerebral palsy; c) collect evidence of construct convergent validity of the ASKp in a population of 60 children with cerebral palsy, by comparing its results with the 66-item Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66) and with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and testing the ASKp?s ability to discriminate between individuals with different functional capabilities.
In conclusion, the ASKp is valid to assess physical functioning, a crucial domain in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy.

description: The photos show my father, Dick George Tubby, and his brothers Jack and Roger. Jack emigrated to Canada in 1911 and joined the NWMP but volunteered in 1914. Roger was studying theology at London University and volunteered in 1915. Dick was articled to a Norwich lawyer and volunteered in 1914. He was badly wounded on the Somme in July 1916 but returned to fight until 1918. My poor grandmother, a widow, lost two sons, with the third badly wounded, within one month. July 1916
Dick joined the TA in 1929 and became the RSM of the 4th, Suffolks, who were, of course, captured at Singapore. Despite being in charge of the many work camps, he was one of the oldest men to survive and lived until age 83, in 1978.
Pure mycelium materials: characteristics and applications

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Mycelium is the vegetative part of Fungi. It is made up of an interconnected network of
hyphae, which are elongated cells with a complex cell wall. Fungi are able to grow on a
wide range of substrates thanks to the extended catalytic capabilities of the enzymes they
secrete and they have a modular nature, thus they grow by apical extension and lateral
branching. They are exploited for a large variety of applications, from bioremediation to
drug production. Recently, mycelial biocomposites obtained from the growth of a strain
on waste agricultural substrates have been used as materials, which have great thermal
and hydrodynamic properties, a low cost of processing and they are easily biodegraded.
Previous works from Smart Materials group showed that even pure mycelia have
promising features to be employed as materials and in nanotechnological applications.
These conclusions are further investigated in the Thesis.
The Introduction is an overview of the issues related to plastic use and production and
contains a review of the main solutions and alternatives considered up to now. In the
second part of the Introduction, mycelia and their applications are described. In Chapter
1, the possibility of finely tune morphological, chemical, hydrodynamic and mechanical
properties of pure mycelial materials is investigated by analyzing growth of Ganoderma
lucidum in liquid substrates enriched in different components. In Chapter 2, both the
porous structure and the chemical and hydrodynamic features of mycelia from
Ganoderma lucidum and Pleurotus ostreatus are exploited in the development of suitable
bioscaffolds for attachment and growth of Human Adult Fibroblasts (HDFAs).

Questo � ci� che accade oggi nel nostro nuovo ambiente digitale, dove la tecnologia influenza e manipola il concetto stesso di realt� e verit�.
Gli elementi corpo, spazio e tempo sono centrali per poter comprendere lo stato dell?esistenza dell?essere umano oggi, nell?era dell?ipercomplessit� e della sempre pi� crescente immersivit� tecnologica, dove le soglie tra reale/virtuale, analogico/digitale, sono sempre pi� impercettibili e vanno verso una drastica sovrapposizione tra vita online/offline.
I continui passaggi da uno stato dicotomico all?altro, da un ambiente all?altro, da una vita online a una offline, sono sempre pi� sfocati. Le sfocature, ovvero quelle fasi intermedie in cui il tutto si sovrappone, mostrano quanto il corpo, ma soprattutto la mente, non siano ancora probabilmente allenati a muoversi con disinvoltura tra un universo duale e un altro, tra i due spazi e i due tempi.
A chi non � mai capitato di zoomare con le dita su una foto stampata? In questo quadro tecnologico e sociale il designer deve comprendere come poter progettare in questo nuovo ambiente digitale e come poter utilizzare le tracce dell?umanit� in esso presenti (10 exabyte di dati prodotti al giorno).
Le tracce ? i dati ? e la disciplina che li elabora per renderli fruibili, ? l?Information Visualization ? risultano ostili tanto quanto la societ� descritta. Manipolazione, soggettivit�, arbitrariet�, mancanza di linguaggi comuni, tutto agisce sul calo dell?etica del progettista e sulla mancata fiducia verso di esso.
La ricerca, attraverso un?analisi dello stato dell?arte della disciplina liquida e del ruolo del designer, tenta di comprendere le cause di queste criticit� e di questi gap, colmandoli attraverso l?elaborazione di una strategia disciplinare e l?individuazione di approcci di buon senso, variabili e modelli, validabili e testabili. La strategia mira dunque a trasformare la disciplina da soggettiva e intersoggetiva, ristabilendo un equilibrio di fiducia ed eticit�.

description: Watermarking is a basic secure communication method. It is used for embedding a recognizable pattern in media in such a manner that modification of the media also modifies the pattern, thus making it easy to detect the modification. This technique and its variants have many practical applications pertaining to secure communications, media verification, etc. Digital audio watermarking is a technique for embedding data within an audio signal in such a way that the original and the modified audio signals are essentially identical. The embedded data can be used for various purposes such as secure communication in military applications, owner identification and verification, content authentication, etc.

In this thesis, a watermark audio signal is hidden in a message audio signal by using a discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain approach. The tests of fidelity between the original and the watermarked signal and robustness applied to the watermarked signal. The results with both the Human Auditory System (HAS) and numeric/graphic aspects are presented. The results show that an embedded watermark is not easily detectable using either the HAS or other techniques. Additionally, it can be detected successfully in the simulation domain, but it may be susceptible to some noise and channel limitations in the real world.

description: Ultrashort laser pulses are used in physical analysis techniques as well as in materials processing and are generated in passively mode-locked oscillators. However, those oscillators produce low pulse energies, but can be used as seeding sources for regenerative amplifiers. Operating with 2 μm wavelength radiation, the amplified output is applicable for pumping optical parametricamplifiers. This allows for generating and amplifying intense light in the mid-infrared wavelength range. With usage of the high water absorption in this wavelength range, this technology can be used for remote sensing and in spectroscopy. This thesis describes the reconditioning of a preexisting, not working modelocked holmium-doped fiber ring oscillator. The stability of this seed source has been optimized by shielding off external influences and setting up a modelock detector. Furthermore, the output power has been adjusted to match the working range of the regenerative amplifier at hand by changing the seed source to soliton operation. By extending the setup via additional fiber connectors a continuous monitoring and characterization of different laser parameters, i.e. the optical spectrum, the pulse duration, pulse energy and longterm stability are ensured. In future, this improvement will offer an efficient use of power while ensuringa reliable operation of the regenerative amplifier.
Facets of Non-Equilibrium in Perturbative Quantum Field Theory : an Algebraic Approach
Creators: name: FALDINO, FEDERICO MARIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: In this thesis we study some non-equilibrium aspects of an interacting, massive scalar field theory treated perturbatively. This is done analysing some properties of the interacting KMS state constructed by Fredenhagen and Lindner [FL14] in the framework of perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory.
In the first part we treat the stability of KMS states, namely we check whether the free state evolved with the interacting dynamics converges to the interacting state. In the meantime we also analyse the return to equilibrium, that is the analogous property with the role of the free and interacting quantities exchanged. We prove that those two properties hold if the perturbation potential is of spatial compact support and that they fail otherwise, even if an adiabatic mean is considered. While the stability leads to non-curable divergencies, the analysis of return to equilibrium gives something finite, which is interpreted as a non-equilibrium steady state.
The novelty of this non-equilibrium state drove us to try to characterise it in more details. To do so, in the second part we introduce relative entropy and entropy production for perturbative quantum field theory, justifying those definitions by proving their main properties. Furthermore, we showed that they are well-defined in the adiabatic limit if we consider densities. These two definitions allowed to prove that the non-equilibrium steady state is thermodynamically trivial, namely it has zero entropy production.
The present thesis is based on [DFP18a, DFP18b].
Indagine numerica sulle caratteristiche termofluidodinamiche di un tetto ventilato
Creators: name: DIANA, ALESSANDRA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: One of the European Directive priorities is the development of new strategies for ?very low energy buildings?. In regions with high level of solar radiation, ventilation allows the cooling load during summer period and contributes to the reduction of the energy needs of buildings. The most important advantages are the reduction of the heat fluxes transmitted by the structures exposed to solar radiation, thanks to the combined effect of shading surfaces and heat removed by the air flow rate within the ventilated air gap.
This work illustrates a numerical investigation on a prototypal ventilated roof for residential use. The physical domain under investigation is two-dimensional and its configuration is geometrically and thermally symmetry, so a single side of the roof is considered. The computational domain has finite dimensions and it is composed by the ventilated channel and two storages located at the inlet and the outlet of the channel. The two storages are useful to know what happens near the region of the thermal disturbance caused by the heat applied on the upper layer of the cavity to simulate the free-stream condition of the flow. The roof is long 6.0 m, inclined from the horizontal of 30� and the ventilated channel, under the roof, has a height of 10 cm. Inlet storage dimensions are Lx = Ly = 3m, equal to the average height of a floor. Outlet storage is characterized by the exit section of the channel and the height of the ridge, h, is equal to 0.10 m. The analysis is carried out on a two-dimensional model in air flow and the governing equations are given in terms of k-? turbulence model. At first, the influence of the ridge is analyzed, considering different types of outlet reservoirs. Then, the investigation is performed in order to evaluate thermofluidodynamic behaviors of the ventilated roof as a function of the different conditions applied on the top wall and the bottom wall of the ventilated cavity in summer and winter regimes. Different values of heat fluxes are applied on the top wall of the ventilated cavity to simulate typical summer and winter days conditions, whereas the bottom wall is assumed isothermal and different values of wall temperature are considered. The problem is solved by means of the commercial code Ansys-Fluent. Results are given in terms of temperature and velocity distributions, air velocity and temperature profiles along different longitudinal and cross sections of the ventilated layer in order to estimate differences between analyzed conditions.
Cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high throughput sequencing technology: diagnostic value in patients with renal cell carcinoma.

description: Background
CfmeDNA is a promising biomarker for non-invasive assessment of solid tumors: i) MeDNA is tissue- and tumor-specific ii) cfDNA methylation changes are stable unlike DNA alterations iii) ?methylation target size? is larger than identifying specific genomic alterations and, therefore, more sensitive. CfMeDIP-seq is a sensitive assay for genome-wide bisulfite-free cfMeDNA profiling, that requires 1-10 ng input DNA. We tested the feasibility of cfMeDIP-seq to detect ccRCC across TNM stages
Methods
We evaluated plasma cfDNA collected prior to nephrectomy in 46 pts with ccRCC: 25 stage I, 7 stage II, 6 stage III, 8 stage IV. cfMeDIP-seq involves four steps: 1) cfDNA end-repair, A-tailing, and adapter ligation, 2) cfMeDNA immunoprecipitation and enrichment using an Ab targeting 5-methylcytosine (quality control by qPCR to ensure <1% of unMeDNA and >99% reaction specificity), 3) adapter-mediated PCR to amplify cfMeDNA, and 4) high-throughput NGS for cfMeDNA data. A previously-derived model (Shen et al, Nature, 2018) was used to classify pts as having ccRCC or not based on cfMeDNA. cfMeDIP-seq paired end data was reduced to 300 bp windows of the genome that map to CpG islands, shores, shelves, and FANTOM5 enhancers; a classifier was then built using the top 1,000 most variable fragments between pts with ccRCC and cancer-free controls. Statistical comparisons were performed in the R statistical environment, with the caret package being used for classifier construction and evaluation
Results
The average amount of cfDNA isolated from 1 ml of ccRCC plasma was 19.8�39.8 ng/?L [1.95-260]. Greater than 99% specificity of reaction and <1% of unMeDNA was achieved in 46/46 samples (100%). The previously-derived classifier of ccRCC correctly predicted 46/46 pts (100%) as having ccRCC. Across 3 rounds of 5-fold cross-validation, the classifier performed with a Cohen?s Kappa of 0.93
Conclusion
CfMeDIP-seq is a non-invasive, cost-effective, and sensitive assay to detect cancer-specific cfmeDNA in ccRCC pts prior to nephrectomy. With further validation, cfmeDNA may detect minimal residual disease after nephrectomy for ?precision? adjuvant therapy.
Role and function of the Ca2+-dependent protease calpain-1 associated to membrane lipid rafts
Creators: name: MARTINES, ANTONINO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The Ca2+-dependent protease calpain-1 has been found constitutively present in lipid raft/caveolin-1 membrane microdomains isolated from endothelial bEnd5 cells. In this membrane localization calpain-1 is associated with some of its substrates, such as endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) and the chaperone Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90), whereas the calpain-2 and the inhibitor calpastatin have not been detected.
Alteration in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, induced by either treatment with Ca2+-ionophore A23187 or prolonged cell exposure to high glucose, leads to a significant decrease in the level of eNOS associated to lipid rafts, followed by a recruitment of HSP90 at this site. The decrease of eNOS is due not only to its Ca2+-dependent release from the caveolin-1 microdomains, but also to its digestion mediated by calpain-1. The specific involvement of calpain-1 in digestion of eNOS is supported by the preventive effect of a synthetic calpain inhibitor (CI-2). However, the modifications observed in lipid rafts protein composition make bEnd5 cells more resistant against cell death caused by Ca2+ overload. In this context, calpain-1 seems to play a protective role against NO overproduction.
Alterations in eNOS, calpain-1 and HSP90 levels have been also detected in aorta of Zucker Diabetic Rats (ZDR). The digestion of HSP90 indicates an aberrant activation of calpain, due to a chronic alteration in Ca2+ homeostasis occurring in these animals, and thereby the transition from a physiological to a pathological cell condition. These changes cannot be detected in brain cortex, suggesting a tissue-specificity of the alteration in Ca2+ homeostasis related to diabetes.
A similar protein organization of lipid rafts has been also observed in neuroblastoma SK-N-BE cells, where calpain-1 is associated with NMDAR, HSP90 and neuronal NOS (nNOS), as well as in brain cortex of normotensive rats. Preliminary results have demonstrated that the increase in [Ca2+]i, that characterizes the nervous tissue of hypertensive rats, leads to a protein reorganization of the lipid rafts.
The results presented in this thesis provide new information on a selective localization and role of calpain-1. In endothelial cells the protease and its associated substrates seem to have a crucial role in responding to fluctuations of [Ca2+]i. Further investigations will be necessary to analyse the role of the protease associated to lipid rafts in nervous tissue both in physiological and pathological conditions.

Long Noncoding RNA ?EPR? controls epithelial cell proliferation by coordinating CDKN1A transcription and mRNA decay in response to TGF-?
Creators: name: ROSSI, MARTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as regulators of fundamental biological processes. Here we report on the functional characterization of an intergenic lncRNA (lincRNA) expressed in epithelial tissues which we termed EPR (Epithelial cell Program Regulator). EPR is rapidly downregulated by TGF-? and its sustained expression largely reshapes the transcriptome, favors the acquisition of epithelial traits, and reduces cell proliferation in cultured mammary gland cells as well as in an animal model of orthotopic transplantation. EPR generates a small peptide that localizes at epithelial cell junctions but the RNA molecule per se accounts for the vast majority of EPR-induced gene expression changes. Mechanistically, EPR interacts with chromatin and regulates Cdkn1a gene expression by affecting both its transcription and mRNA decay through its association with the transcription factor SMAD3 and the mRNA decay promoting factor KHSRP, respectively. We propose that EPR enables epithelial cells to control proliferation by modulating waves of gene expression in response to stimuli.

Analysis of window structures for super and megayachts

Year: 2019

description: In the last years, after the economic crisis that modified the super and megayacht market and construction, the project focus of shipyards and owners has been moved from the research of higher performances and whimsical exteriors to more classic aesthetics and higher level of onboard comfort.
This first aspect has led to the use of larger openings on superstructures? sides in order to enlarge windows and bring more natural light onboard vessels. The request of more comfortable units has granted a strong effort to find new solutions in order to reduce the noise and vibration level, dealing in particular to the structural elements that with higher noise radiations, such as dampers, pillars and windows.
The aforementioned trends is reflected on a more intensive use of glazed windows onboard, that have led to non-trivial problem of both structural response (since the structural component are reduced in order to enlarge opening) and NVH assessment, considering that glued glass panes act as an harmonic speakers, having natural frequencies closed to ones of the main superyacht excitations.
In this PhD thesis, the use of glass onboard superyacht has been focused with particular attention to finding new, simpler numerical and experimental procedure to take into account the vibroacustic properties of glass, that are actually ignored by Classification Societies, during their structural scantling and mounting. The proposed simplified methods has been tested also in two different global models, for the assessment of the vertical hull girder vibration at low frequency and for the NVH assessment in the mid-high frequency respectively. Moreover, the role of openings has also been tested from a structural point of view, as a first step of a wider research that should verify the stress transfer mechanisms between metallic structures and glazed windows.
A Framework to Support Users? Privacy Preferences in the Proliferation of IoT
Creators: name: SANCHEZ, ODNAN REF
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: In the proliferation of personal IoT devices, the need for privacy protection becomes an increasing concern. User?s privacy preferences are not being respected in today?s complex IoT scenario, as data sharing among applications becomes a growing phenomenon. The increasing number of applications, IoT devices and list of user?s personal data make the setting of privacy a laborious task for the users. On the other hand, supposedly trusted third parties that access personal data have been recently reported to invade user privacy. Thus, this thesis proposes a privacy framework that computes the risk of users? sharing preferences, manages user privacy and provides recommendation to ease privacy setting in the advent of IoT. The risk of inferencing unshared user data is computed from the set of shared user data. The framework aims to be GDPR-compliant, which makes third parties declare their access request in accordance with the European Union?s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Semantic Web Technologies are used to model both the user and the third party preferences, which can be represented through the proposed Privacy
Preference for the IoT (PPIoT) Ontology. The framework?s personal data manager
supports the privacy decision of the user through recommendation of privacy profiles.
Using Machine Learning techniques, the identification and recommendation
of privacy profiles are done through our crowdsourced dataset, which are collected using current scenarios in the fitness domain. We then examine different personal tracking data and user traits which can potentially drive the recommendation of privacy profiles to the users. Interestingly, our results show several semantic relationships among users? traits, characteristics and attitudes that are useful in providing privacy recommendations.
Investigating Social Interactions Using Multi-Modal Nonverbal Features
Creators: name: CARISSIMI, NICOLO'
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Every day, humans are involved in social situations and interplays, with the goal of
sharing emotions and thoughts, establishing relationships with or acting on other
human beings. These interactions are possible thanks to what is called social intelligence,
which is the ability to express and recognize social signals produced during
the interactions. These signals aid the information exchange and are expressed
through verbal and non-verbal behavioral cues, such as facial expressions, gestures,
body pose or prosody. Recently, many works have demonstrated that social signals
can be captured and analyzed by automatic systems, giving birth to a relatively
new research area called social signal processing, which aims at replicating human
social intelligence with machines. In this thesis, we explore the use of behavioral
cues and computational methods for modeling and understanding social interactions.
Concretely, we focus on several behavioral cues in three specic contexts:
rst, we analyze the relationship between gaze and leadership in small group interactions.
Second, we expand our analysis to face and head gestures in the context of
deception detection in dyadic interactions. Finally, we analyze the whole body for
group detection in mingling scenarios.

Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced by vector boson fusion in the bottom quark pair decay channel and real-time avour tagging selection with the ATLAS detector.
Creators: name: VARNI, CARLO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The engines used for High Energy Physics investigations are colliders: particle accelerators that rely on collisions between beams of particles for their searches.
The ATLAS experiment is a general-purpose experiment that, analysing the products of these collisions, covers a broad physics programme, with the main focus being on rare and low cross section processes. Amidst these physics phenomena, the Higgs boson represents interesting a topic of investigation.
This thesis work focuses on the study of the Higgs boson decay to bottom quarks, in particular in the VBF production mechanism: an extremely challenging search due to the overwhelming multi-jet backgrounds and complex jet reconstruction, calibration and identification of b-jets typical of fully hadronic final states.
The b-jet triggers provide the capability to correctly identify and discriminate particles and/or jets stemming from differently flavoured quarks at online level, providing an extremely power tool to reduce the QCD background.
At first, the analysis of the data collected during the 2012 LHC operations will be showed. This analysis showed that such a channel could indeed be studied, despite the huge amount of combinatorial background plaguing the event selection. Then, the analysis of the data collected during the 2016 LHC operations will be illustrated.
Since the b-jet trigger is a crucial ingredient for this analysis a section will be devoted to the description of the ATLAS trigger system with a particular focus on b-jet triggers and my role as coordinator of this trigger signature.

description: Background. Disease relapse remains an unmet medical need for
patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) receiving an allogeneic
hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Methods. With the aim of
identifying patients at high risk for post-transplant relapse, we
retrospectively reviewed 41 HL patients who had received haploidentical
(haplo) non myeloablative (NMA) HCT with high dose post-transplant
cyclophosphamide (PT-CY) for graft-versus-host (GvHD) prophylaxis.
Primary refractory disease, relapse within 6 months from autologous stem
cell transplantation (ASCT), age, pre-transplant chemotherapy,
hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI), sex
mismatch, tumor burden and pre-transplant positron-emission tomography
(FDG-PET) status, assessed by Deauville score, were analyzed as variables
influencing outcomes.

Results. All but one patient engrafted: median time to neutrophil and
platelet recovery were15 (range 13-23) and 19 (12-28) days, respectively.
Cumulative incidence of severe (grade III-IV) acute GvHD and 3-year
moderate-severe chronic GvHD was 2.4% and 11.8%, respectively. The 3-year
overall (OS), progression free (PFS) and graft relapse free survival
(GRFS) were 75.6%, 43.9%, and 39%, respectively. On multivariate
analysis, 3-year OS was significantly worse in patients with HCT-CI ? 3
(HR 5.0 95% CI 1.1-21.8 p =0.03). Three-year relapse rate , 3-year PFS
and 3-year GRFS were significantly worse in patients with HCT-CI ? 3

95% CI 1.7-9.9 p=0.001, respectively) and in patients with a Deauville
score ? 4 on pre-transplant FDG-PET (HR=4.4 95% CI 1.6-12.4 p=0.005,
HR=3.8 95% CI 1.5-9.7 p=0.005 and 3.2 95% CI 1.3-7.9 p=0.01,
respectively). On univariate analysis, 3-year NRM was significantly worse
only in patients with a HCT-CI ? 3 (HR=17.6 95% CI 1.4-221.0).

Conclusions. Among relapsed/refractory HL patients undergoing haplo NMA
HCT with PT-Cy, pre-transplant FDG-PET with a Deauville score ? 4 and
HCT-CI ? 3 identified patients at high risk of relapse. Moreover, a HCTCI
? 3 was associated with higher NRM and lower OS.
Comportement réciproque et information incomplète dans un jeu du dilemme du prisonnier

Subjects: dilemme du prisonnier, déformation des paiements, coopération.

description: Dans ce papier, nous introduisons la notion de déformation des paiements dans un jeu du dilemme du prisonnier. Cette notion nous permet de prendre en compte l’appréciation de chaque joueur du comportement de son adversaire. Nous déterminons les conditions sous lesquelles la coopération mutuelle constitue un équilibre. Premièrement, nos résultats montrent que contrairement à l’altruisme, la réciprocité permet de faire face au comportement opportuniste de l’égoïsme. Deuxièmement, la coopération émerge avec la réciprocité, et elle peut être un équilibre de Nash dans un domaine d’information complète ou un équilibre bayésien sous certaines conditions dans un environnement d’information incomplète.

Per un?edizione genetica e commentata dell?Ippopotamo di Luciano Erba
Creators: name: FIORAVANTI, SAMUELE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The genetic edition collects all the drafts of the poems included in the first two sections of the collection L'ippopotamo (Einaudi 1989) by Luciano Erba. The texts now included in those sections have been previously published by Scheiwiller in 1983 (Il cerchio aperto) and 1987 (Il tranviere metafisico), but have been reorganized in a new architecture in order to display within a more peculiar structure the evolution of Erba's poetry from the so colled poetica degli oggetti to a dematerialized representation of objects, places and characters (poetica dell'assenza or poetica del sogno). The comments after every text try and follow this process via a progressively emphazised focus on the gap between Erba's adherence to the topoi of the Linea lombarda and later to a very personal reinterpretation of Minimalism, within a tautological, anti-pathetic and anti-rhetorical frame. The edition also stresses the relations between Erba's lines and his visual heritage based on explicit mentions (Arcimboldo, Gothic Art in Siena, Picasso and Hornby) and obscure references (Fausto Melotti, Bernardo Luini, Italian Art Nouvea, Milanese architecture). Erba's visual imagination tends indeed to depict monochrome surfaces glanced off by a second hue in the foreground as it is common in American Minimal Art.
HPL-MxP Image Configuration on Clould Brain II
Creators: name: Xue, Weicheng
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The HPL-MxP image configuration on Cloud Brain II is tailored for high-performance computing tasks, specifically designed to leverage the power of Huawei's Ascend processors. Users can access the image via the Cloud Brain II container image service platform, where the image includes the CANN (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks) toolkit with compatible drivers for Cloud Brain II. This custom image lacks a pre-configured terminal or commonly used high-performance computing software, requiring users to set up the environment themselves. The configuration process involves pulling the initial image, updating/installing necessary software packages such as SSH, setting up SSH keys for passwordless login, and installing essential libraries and compilers like OpenBLAS, ucx, openmpi, and the Kunpeng GCC compiler. Users can also compile their own operator libraries and software packages within the image. Additionally, the image setup includes SSH service setup, directory setup, software package installation, environment variable configuration, and finally saving the configured image for future use.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Performances: bridging innovation and financial outcomes to stakeholder theory
Creators: name: TALA', NOVELLA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: This thesis aims to investigate if and how the attention towards stakeholder
groups affects ability and strategy of firms and corporates on innovation and
performances.
The framework of the Stakeholder Theory is assumed as reference for the
origin and concept of Corporate Social Responsibility. On this basis, specific
attention is dedicated to empirical studies on a database created by the research
group at the University of Genoa in cooperation with the Italian Ministry of
Economic Development. The data of the firms are analysed by means of
clustering techniques and bivariate probit model
Results offer implications from both theoretical and practical points of views.
In particular, the links between practices in Corporate Social Responsibility and
corporate innovation are empirically confirmed and economically addressed, also
putting into evidence how commitment in Corporate Social Responsibility
initiatives increase the probability to innovate in product and in process. The
results outlined in the thesis show that a holistic approach towards Corporate
Social Responsibility is the key factor in order to the achieve effective
performance of innovation and to foster product and process innovations. Firms
are expected to implement Corporate Social Responsibility practices in all
Corporate Social Responsibility areas, without neglecting any stakeholder and, in
the ideal situation, the innovation outcomes and the firm performances results
closely linked to the ability of firms to anticipate and meet the stakeholder needs.
Finally, beside the insights to corporate strategies, the thesis offers a
methodology to support banks in the calculation of default probability of firms by
exploiting the positive inter-linkage between Corporate Social Responsibility and
finance and risk. Based on Basel Standards and including fields monitored
through Corporate Social Responsibility indicators, the proposed approach allows
understanding of corporates? capabilities to create value and demonstrate low risk
of claims, fines and default.
Mathematical Models of Fluid Flows in the Human Eye
Creators: name: DVORIASHYNA, MARIIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Fluids in the eye have many important functions, such as regulating the intraocular pressure,
delivering nutrients to the avascular intraocular tissue of the cornea and the lens,
and contributing to adhesion forces between the sensory retina and the retinal pigment
epithelium. Failure of these functions may lead to a number of pathological conditions. Studying fluid flows in the eye is therefore relevant to improve our understanding of the physiology of the organ and to prevent or treat certain eye diseases.
This thesis consists of two main parts. In the first part we propose mathematical models of
the dynamics of the aqueous humour in the anterior segment of the eye. The problems considered are in the area of fluid mechanics and our approaches are based on the use of lubrication theory that is applicable for flows in thin domains. The second part is related to fluid transport across the retinal pigment epithelium and it concerns a multiphysics problem, which couples fluid and ion transport.

Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals: A New Age of Semiconductive Nanocrystals
Creators: name: AKKERMAN, QUINTEN ADRIAAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: This thesis will mainly focus on the synthesis and characterization of colloidal lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs). It will also shed light on many synthetic aspects of these NCs, such as their size, shape and compositional control, as well as on how to increase their stability and processability, allowing the use of LHP NCs in devices. Furthermore, this thesis will present several nano-scaled reactions using lead halide NCs, which result in so-called ?nanocrystal transformations?. To bridge the gap between the fundamental synthetic work and the application of these NCs, several proof-of-principle devices have been made with LHP NCs, including solar cells and LEDs and will all be demonstrated herein. Finally, several new halide based NCs have been synthesized and will be discusses, broadening the scope of this work not only to LHP NCs, but also to halide based NCs in general.
