description: L?impressionante crescita in popolarit� delle Online Social Networks (OSNs), evidenziata dall?enorme numero di utenti oggi legati ai social network pi� popolari, offre un?opportunit� unica per comprendere i comportamenti online degli individui. In questa tesi, analizziamo i comportamenti delle persone sulle OSNs considerando che tali comportamenti sono il risultato della combinazione di esperienze ed attitudini sia online che offline. Dapprima, eseguiamo una analisi multidimensionale degli utenti attraverso diversi social media per fornire una descrizione complessiva dei comportamenti online e comprendere come questi cambino quando pi� media sono disponibili contemporaneamente. I risultati che presentiamo rappresentano uno dei primi esempi di esplorazione dei comportamenti umani su diversi social media. Ad esempio, utilizzando lo user degree su 5 diversi social network, evidenziamo che l?importanza di ogni individuo cambia da piattaforma a piattaforma. La natura longitudinale del nostro dataset � anche stata sfruttata per studiare l?attivit� di posting degli utenti, evidenziando una leggera correlazione positiva sulla frequenza con cui gli utenti pubblicano su social media differenti e confermando la natura bursty delle attivit� di posting mediante l?uso di serie temporali multidimensionali. Inoltre, durante la tesi abbiamo sviluppato un metodo di identificazione innovativo per collegare le persone attraverso le diverse piattaforme social. Facendo riferimento agli attributi pubblici comuni, attraverso l?uso di application programming interface (API) dei diversi social network, costruiamo le istanze negative in tre modi diversi, superando la selezione randomica abitualmente adottata, allo scopo di valutare la robustezza del nostro algoritmo di identificazione su diversi dataset. I risultati mostrano che l?approccio porta ad un metodo di identificazione molto efficace per costruire dataset affidabili. Uno scenario reale costruito su Google+ e Facebook � stato utilizzato come testbed per la validazione del metodo. I risultati che riportiamo dimostrano i vantaggi ottenibili con il nuovo metodo rispetto ad altri metodi da letteratura. Infine, la tesi compie un primo passo verso una miglior comprensione degli effetti degli eventi offline sulla struttura del grafo delle social network in cui sono pubblicizzati. Pi� precisamente, svolgiamo una analisi temporale della social network legata all?evento, comprendendo le persone che dichiarano di partecipare all?evento tramite facebook, e valutiamo come questa evolva durante l?intervallo temporale dell?eventi stesso. I risultati mostrano che nuove amicizie nascono durante l?evento e che la creazione di questi nuovi legami sociali � una delle cause principali di chiusura triangolare e che il grado maggiore si osserva durante l?ultimo giorno dell?evento stesso.

description: Obesity is a biological risk factor or comorbidity that has not received much attention from scientists studying hypertension among African American men. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between weight status and high blood pressure among African American men with few economic resources. The authors used surveillance data collected from low-income adults attending community- and faith-based primary care clinics in West Tennessee to estimate pooled and group-specific regression models of high blood pressure. The results from group-specific logistic regression models indicate that the factors associated with hypertension varied considerably by weight status. This study provides a glimpse into the complex relationship between weight status and high blood pressure status among African American men. Additional research is needed to identify mechanisms through which excess weight affects the development and progression of high blood pressure.

description: Electromagnetic processes of charged particles interaction with oriented crystals provide a wide variety of innovative applications such as beam steering, crystal-based extraction/collimation of leptons and hadrons in an accelerator, a fixed-target experiment on magnetic and electric dipole moment measurement, X-ray and gamma radiation source for radiotherapy and nuclear physics and a positron source for lepton and muon colliders, a compact crystalline calorimeter as well as plasma acceleration in the crystal media. One of the main challenges is to develop an up-to-date, universal and fast simulation tool to simulate these applications. We present a new simulation model of electromagnetic processes in oriented crystals implemented into Geant4, which is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. We validate the model with the experimental data as well as discuss the advantages and perspectives of this model for the applications of oriented crystals mentioned above.

description: We present a deep layered architecture that generalizes convolutional neural networks (ConvNets). The architecture, called SimNets, is driven by two operators: (i) a similarity function that generalizes inner-product, and (ii) a log-mean-exp function called MEX that generalizes maximum and average. The two operators applied in succession give rise to a standard neuron but in "feature space". The feature spaces realized by SimNets depend on the choice of the similarity operator. The simplest setting, which corresponds to a convolution, realizes the feature space of the Exponential kernel, while other settings realize feature spaces of more powerful kernels (Generalized Gaussian, which includes as special cases RBF and Laplacian), or even dynamically learned feature spaces (Generalized Multiple Kernel Learning). As a result, the SimNet contains a higher abstraction level compared to a traditional ConvNet. We argue that enhanced expressiveness is important when the networks are small due to run-time constraints (such as those imposed by mobile applications). Empirical evaluation validates the superior expressiveness of SimNets, showing a significant gain in accuracy over ConvNets when computational resources at run-time are limited. We also show that in large-scale settings, where computational complexity is less of a concern, the additional capacity of SimNets can be controlled with proper regularization, yielding accuracies comparable to state of the art ConvNets.

description: SIRT1 inhibitors can reduce replication of many viruses with certain similar characteristics to those of Coronaviruses, while p53 protein is another important factor in down-regulation of growth. There are some molecules that inhibit Sirtuin 1 and 2, in addition to activate p53 protein, by means of regulation of the interactions used by Coronaviruses as self-defense mechanism, degradating it. Even mTOR signal will be regulate, as well as HIF-1α with the target genes and cytokines. Autophagy will be inhibited, being this compound like a lysosomotropic agent. By blocking virus growth and continuous replication, associating the already tested Antiviral medicines, Covid-19 could be eradicated.

Search for pair-produced vectorlike B quarks in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for the production of a heavy B quark, having electric charge -1/3 and vector couplings to W, Z, and H bosons, is carried out using proton-proton collision data recorded at the CERN LHC by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The B quark is assumed to be pair produced and to decay in one of three ways: to tW, bZ, or bH. The search is carried out in final states with one, two, and more than two charged leptons, as well as in fully hadronic final states. Each of the channels in the exclusive final-state topologies is designed to be sensitive to specific combinations of the B quark-antiquark pair decays. The observed event yields are found to be consistent with the standard model expectations in all the final states studied. A statistical combination of these results is performed and upper limits are set on the cross section of the strongly produced B quark-antiquark pairs as a function of the B quark mass. Lower limits on the B quark mass between 740 and 900 GeV are set at a 95% confidence level, depending on the values of the branching fractions of the B quark to tW, bZ, and bH. Overall, these limits are the most stringent to date.

NORMAL FORM AND KAM METHODS FOR HIGHER DIMENSIONAL LINEAR PDES
Creators: name: LANGELLA, BEATRICE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis an approach to linear PDEs on higher dimensional spatial domains is proposed. I prove two kinds of results: first I develop an algorithm which enables to obtain reducibility for linear PDEs which depend quasi-periodically on time, and I apply it to a quasilinear transport equation of the form ?_t u= ???u+ ? P (?t)u on the d-dimensional torus T^d, where ? is a small parameter, ? and ? are Diophantine vectors, P (?t)=V(x,?t)??+W(?t), V is a smooth function on T^(d+n) and W(?t) is an unbounded pseudo-differential operator of order strictly less than 1. The strategy is an extension of the methods originally developed in the context of quasilinear one dimensional equations. It consists in first using quantum normal form techniques in order to conjugate the original system to a new one with a smoothing perturbation, and then exploiting the smoothing nature of the new perturbation in order to balance the effects of the small denominators, which in this problem accumulate very fast to 0. The quantum normal form procedure developed in order to obtain reducibility for the above transport equation is global in phase space. In order to overcome such a limitation, the second problem I tackle in this thesis is that of developing a local quantum normal form procedure, which could be applied to much more general systems. As the simplest relevant model containing all the difficulties of the general case, I consider the operator H=-?+V(x) with Floquet boundary conditions on the flat torus T^d_?, where T^d_? is the manifold obtained as quotient between the d-dimensional space R^d and an arbitrary d-dimensional lattice ?, with the purpose of adapting the quantum normal form procedure to deal with this operator. As a result, I prove for the operator H a Structure Theorem � la Nekhoroshev, and I characterize the asymptotic behavior of all its eigenvalues. The asymptotic expansion is in |?|^{-?}, with ? ? (0, 1) for most of the eigenvalues ? (stable eigenvalues), while it is a "directional expansion" for the remaining eigenvalues (unstable eigenvalues).

description: Few studies have examined correlates of heavy drinking among rural immigrant Latino men. This analysis identified correlates of typical week drunkenness and past 30-day heavy episodic drinking, within a sample of immigrant Latino men in rural North Carolina (n = 258). In the bivariate analyses, Mexican birth, entering the United States as an adult, and year-round employment were associated with increased odds of typical week drunkenness, and higher acculturation and affiliation with a religion with strict prohibitions against drinking alcohol were associated with lower odds of typical week drunkenness. Being older, Mexican birth, and entering the United States as an adult were associated with increased odds of heavy episodic drinking, and affiliation with a religion with strict prohibitions against drinking alcohol was associated with decreased odds of heavy episodic drinking. In multivariable modeling, only religious affiliation was associated with typical week drunkenness. Mexican birth, entering the United States as an adult and were associated with increased odds of heavy episodic drinking, and affiliation with a religion with strict prohibitions against drinking alcohol and completing high school was associated with lower odds of heavy episodic drinking. The health of minority men in the United States has been neglected, and immigrant Latino men comprise a particularly vulnerable population. This analysis provides initial data on some factors associated with heavy drinking within a population about whom little is known. Future studies should examine moderating or mediating factors between age, acculturation, religiosity, and heavy drinking that might be targets for behavioral interventions.

description: African American (AA) men have a higher prevalence of many chronic disease risk behaviors compared to Caucasian men, including physical inactivity. Innovative ways to reach AA men with interventions to increase physical activity (PA) and decrease other key risk factors are needed to reduce health disparities in this population. The barbershop is a natural but underutilized setting for reaching AA men. In the Fitness in the Shop (FITShop) study, shop owners, barbers, and customers were recruited from four local barbershops to complete structured interviews and customer focus groups. We assessed knowledge, perceived barriers, and interests/concerns about PA, as well as explored how to best intervene in the barbershop. Barbers and customers endorsed the idea of receiving health and PA information in the barbershop. These formative research results generated information and strategies for developing a multilevel barbershop-based health intervention to promote PA in the barbershop. This article describes the formative research results and how PRECEDE was used to develop a culturally and contextually appropriate, multilevel barbershop-based intervention designed to promote PA and to reduce chronic disease disparities among AA men.

description: We theoretically study a one-dimensional quasi-periodic Fermi system with topological $p$-wave superfluidity, which can be deduced from a topologically non-trivial tight-binding model on the square lattice in a uniform magnetic field and subject to a non-Abelian gauge field. The system may be regarded a non-Abelian generalization of the well-known Aubry-André-Harper model. We investigate its phase diagram as functions of the strength of the quasi-disorder and the amplitude of the $p$-wave order parameter, through a number of numerical investigations, including a multifractal analysis. There are four distinct phases separated by three critical lines, i.e., two phases with all extended wave-functions (I and IV), a topologically trivial phase (II) with all localized wave-functions and a critical phase (III) with all multifractal wave-functions. The phase I is related to the phase IV by duality. It also seems to be related to the phase II by duality. Our proposed phase diagram may be observable in current cold-atom experiments, in view of simulating non-Abelian gauge fields and topological insulators/superfluids with ultracold atoms.

description: Il volume raccoglie le relazioni di accademici, studiosi, magistrati e funzionari che analizzano, da differenti angoli di visuale, il tema dello sfruttamento delle risorse idriche nelle aree montane, con riferimento alle concessioni di grandi derivazioni a fini idroelettrici. Viene presentata una visione a tutto tondo sugli interessi pubblici e privati sottesi al settore della produzione di energia idroelettrica, con approfondimenti particolarmente qualificati riguardanti l?evoluzione delle regole (europee, nazionali, locali), le responsabilit� degli Attori coinvolti, le competenze delle Autorit� giurisdizionali. Le riflessioni risultano particolarmente utili nell?attuale fase storica, segnata dal passaggio dallo Stato alle Regioni e alle Autonomie speciali del compito di disciplinare le modalit� e le procedure di assegnazione delle concessioni. Una fase definita epocale, tenuto conto del fatto che molte concessioni sono state assegnate nella prima met� del Novecento. Una fase, non priva di incognite, che coinvolge in prima persona Enti e comunit�. In definitiva, il riconoscimento per le amministrazioni locali di dimostrare la propria virtuosit� e capacit� di cura degli interessi delle rispettive comunit�, in un ambito significativo per lo sviluppo non solo del sistema economico, ma anche delle sensibilit� ambientali.

description: We prospectively correlated the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) to conventional sphygmomanometer blood pressure measurements (CSM) in women at risk for gestational hypertensive disorders (GHTNDs) and identified predictive factors from ABPM for GHTND. We analyzed 73 women with ≥1 risk factor for developing a GHTND. Using both the CSM and ABPM, the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were measured for 24 hours during three periods (14 to 24 weeks; 24 to 32 weeks; and 33 weeks to delivery). Correlation between the CSM and ABPM lessened as pregnancy progressed. Seventeen (25%) of women developed a GHTND. MAP variability increased in the GHTND group versus those without a GHTND. The odds of developing a GHTND increased 1.5 times for every 1 beat per minute increase in the ABPM 24-hour HR at visit 1 and reversed by visit 3. In women at risk for a GHTND, CSM and ABPM correlate less well as pregnancy advances. HR changes in at-risk women may be a marker for the development of a GHTND and may reflect increased sympathetic activity and/or decreased baroreceptor sensitivity.

description: Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a noninteracting Bose gas of N particles in a two-dimensional box with Dirichlet boundary conditions is studied. Confirming previous work, we find that BEC occurs at finite N at low temperatures T without the occurrence of a phase transition. The conventionally-defined transition temperature TE for an infinite 3D system is shown to correspond in a 2D system with finite N to a crossover temperature between a slow and rapid increase in the fractional boson occupation N0/N of the ground state with decreasing T. We further show that TE ~ 1/log(N) at fixed area per boson, so in the thermodynamic limit there is no significant BEC in 2D at finite T. Thus, paradoxically, BEC only occurs in 2D at finite N with no phase transition associated with it. Calculations of thermodynamic properties versus T and area A are presented, including Helmholtz free energy, entropy S , pressure p, ratio of p to the energy density U/A, heat capacity at constant volume (area) CV and at constant pressure Cp, isothermal compressibility kappa_T and thermal expansion coefficient alpha_p, obtained using both the grand canonical ensemble (GCE) and canonical ensemble (CE) formalisms. The GCE formalism gives acceptable predictions for S, p, p/(U/A), kappa_T and alpha_p at large N, T and A, but fails for smaller values of these three parameters for which BEC becomes significant, whereas the CE formalism gives accurate results for all thermodynamic properties of finite systems even at low T and/or A where BEC occurs.

description: Net neutrality (NN) is the principle under which electronic communications should be treated equally, regardless to content, type, origin, destination. In the last decade, the debate over this principle has significantly grown. This paper aims to provide an extensive overview on net neutrality, following both a theorical and comparative approach. A first part assesses the main issues related to NN, with reference in particular to economic arguments and fundamental rights. A second part tries to report and compare different cases of NN implementations: a) in the United States, in regard to the 2015 Open Internet Order; b) in Europe, in the light of Regulation 2015/2120, before the forthcoming release of BEREC guidelines; c) within European member States; d) in other Countries, such as Canada, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, India, Singapore. Finally, the last Chapter gives a more detailed analysis of net neutrality in the Italian context.

description: Dynamics of optically-excited plasmonic nanoparticles are presently understood as a series of sequential scattering events, involving thermalization processes after pulsed optical excitation. One important step is the initiation of nanoparticle breathing oscillations. According to established experiments and models, these are caused by the statistical heat transfer from thermalized electrons to the lattice. An additional contribution by hot electron pressure has to be included to account for phase mismatches that arise from the lack of experimental data on the breathing onset. We used optical transient-absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved single-particle x-ray-diffractive imaging to access the excited electron system and lattice. The time-resolved single-particle imaging data provided structural information directly on the onset of the breathing oscillation and confirmed the need for an additional excitation mechanism to thermal expansion, while the observed phase-dependence of the combined structural and optical data contrasted previous studies. Therefore, we developed a new model that reproduces all our experimental observations without using fit parameters. We identified optically-induced electron density gradients as the main driving source.

description: Small quantum absorption refrigerators have recently attracted renewed attention. Here we present a missing design of a two-qubit fridge, the main feature of which is that one of the two machine qubits is itself maintained at a temperature colder than the cold bath. This is achieved by 'reversing' the couplings to the baths compared to previous designs, where only a transition is maintained cold. We characterize the working regime and the efficiency of the fridge. We demonstrate the soundness of the model by deriving and solving a master equation. Finally, we discuss the performance of the fridge, in particular the heat current extracted from the cold bath. We show that our model performs comparably to the standard three-level quantum fridge, and thus appears appealing for possible implementations of nano thermal machines.

description: $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ trench Schottky barrier diodes fabricated through a Gallium atomic beam etching technique, with excellent field strength and power device figure of merit, are demonstrated. Trench formation was accomplished by a low-damage Ga flux etch that enables near-ideal forward operating characteristics that are independent of fin orientation. The reverse breakdown field strength of greater than 5.10 MV/cm is demonstrated at breakdown voltage as of 1.45 kV. This result demonstrates the potential for Ga atomic beam etching and high-quality dielectric layers for improved performance in $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ vertical power devices.

description: Hilbert space frames generalize orthonormal bases to allow redundancy in representations of vectors while keeping good reconstruction properties. A frame comes with an associated frame operator encoding essential properties of the frame. We study a polytope that arises in an algorithm for constructing all finite frames with given lengths of frame vectors and spectrum of the frame operator, which is a Gelfand-Tsetlin polytope. For equal norm tight frames, we give a non-redundant description of the polytope in terms of equations and inequalities. From this we obtain the dimension and number of facets of the polytope.

description: Using the data from the public database of the All Sky Automated Survey ({\tt ASAS}) we performed the very first light curve analyses of the three eclipsing binary systems \astrobj{AO~Aqr}, \astrobj{CW~Aqr} and \astrobj{ASAS~012206-4924.7}. The physical parameters of the systems were determined by the {\tt PHOEBE} software. From an analysis of the ASAS data it was concluded that AO~Aqr was found to be a contact binary system while CW~Aqr and ASAS~012206-4924.7 were found to be near--contact and detached binaries, respectively. Finally, the locations of the components, corresponding to the estimated physical parameters, in the HR diagram were also discussed.

Η μεθοδολογία που ακολουθείται εστιάζει στην ανάλυση των κτιρίων με βάση τις τρεις κλίμακες του αρχιτεκτονικού σχεδιασμού. Τέλος, διερευνάται η σχέση των πολιτιστικών κτιρίων με τον αστικό ιστό και διεξάγονται εμπειρικά συμπεράσματα.

description: This paper investigates the spatial and cultural significance of buildings dedicated to culture within the urban space. Specifically, the object of the research is the study of the cultural buildings of the city of Heraklion in order to draw conclusions / results regarding their role as landmarks.
The research focuses on two parts, the first presents on the analysis of fundamental key/ basic definitions, such as culture and cultural landmark. The notion of landmark is investigated through the analysis of its definition. The above analysis focuses on the exploration of the theory of the urban planner Kevin Lynch, who through conducting empirical research attempted to determine people's perception of the urban landscape and their way of navigating it.
An introduction is made to the history of the old city of Heraklion, covering the time frame from the Minoan period to modern times. The aim is to understand urban development over the centuries and to evaluate the cultural landmarks and monuments created by the folk in the old town of Heraklion.
In the second part, the urban landscape of Heraklion, Crete, is used as acase study. It is examined whether the presented buildings act as landmarks within the city. The methodology followed focuses on the analysis of buildings based on the three scales of architectural design, the building, the urban and the human scale as experiential. The relationship of cultural buildings with the urban space is investigated and empirical reading is carried out to search for the relationship of buildings with it.
Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the distinguishing of the reasons for determining each cultural landmark building based on the three scales of architectural design.

description: We present galaxy stellar mass functions (GSMFs) at $z=$ 4-8 from a rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) selected sample of $\sim$4500 galaxies, found via photometric redshifts over an area of $\sim$280 arcmin$^2$ in the CANDELS/GOODS fields and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The deepest Spitzer/IRAC data yet-to-date and the relatively large volume allow us to place a better constraint at both the low- and high-mass ends of the GSMFs compared to previous space-based studies from pre-CANDELS observations. Supplemented by a stacking analysis, we find a linear correlation between the rest-frame UV absolute magnitude at 1500 Å ($M_{\rm UV}$) and logarithmic stellar mass ($\log M_*$) that holds for galaxies with $\log(M_*/M_{\odot}) \lesssim 10$. We use simulations to validate our method of measuring the slope of the $\log M_*$-$M_{\rm UV}$ relation, finding that the bias is minimized with a hybrid technique combining photometry of individual bright galaxies with stacked photometry for faint galaxies. The resultant measured slopes do not significantly evolve over $z=$ 4-8, while the normalization of the trend exhibits a weak evolution toward lower masses at higher redshift. We combine the $\log M_*$-$M_{\rm UV}$ distribution with observed rest-frame UV luminosity functions at each redshift to derive the GSMFs, finding that the low-mass-end slope becomes steeper with increasing redshift from $α=-1.55^{+0.08}_{-0.07}$ at $z=4$ to $α=-2.25^{+0.72}_{-0.35}$ at $z=8$. The inferred stellar mass density, when integrated over $M_*=10^8$-$10^{13} M_{\odot}$, increases by a factor of $10^{+30}_{-2}$ between $z=7$ and $z=4$ and is in good agreement with the time integral of the cosmic star formation rate density.

description: Hubble's announcement of the magnitude-redshift relation \cite{Hub29} brought about a major change in our understanding of the Universe. After tracing the pre-history of Hubble's work, and the hiatus in our understanding which his underestimate of distances led to, this review focuses on the development and success of our understanding of the expanding universe up to the present day, and the part which General Relativity plays in that success.
