description: We consider a model-independent approach to constrain the equivalence redshift, $z_{eq}$, at which dark energy and the total matter (cold dark matter and baryonic) equate their magnitudes. To this aim, in the context of a homogeneous and isotropic universe, we first consider a generic model where the dark energy contribution is provided by an unknown function of barotropic fluids. Afterwards, we compute the deceleration and jerk parameters, evaluating at our epoch, namely $z=0$, and at $z=z_{eq}$. Thus, by Taylor expanding around current time the Hubble rate, luminosity and angular distances, we substitute the theoretical expressions obtained from the aforementioned generic dark energy model, defining a correspondence between quantities evaluated at $z=0$ and $z=z_{eq}$. In so doing, we directly fit these quantities by means of current data sets, involving the most recent Pantheon type Ia supernovae, baryonic acoustic oscillation and Hubble rate points. We consider two hierarchies in our fitting procedures and compare our findings in the spatially-flat universe first and including spatial curvature, later. We assess constraints on the overall equation of state of the universe and its first derivative. We compare our results with those predicted by the standard $Λ$CDM paradigm. Specifically, our findings are in agreement at the 2$σ$ confidence level, assuming a constant dark energy term. However, our analysis does not rule out the possibility of a slight evolution of dark energy, indicating a small deviation from the scenario of a pure cosmological constant. In particular, the possible departures appear consistent with a phenomenological $ω$CDM model, rather than more complicated dark energy parameterizations.

description: We first find the linear approximation of the second plus fourth order derivative massive conformal gravity action. Then we reduce the linearized action to separated second order derivative terms, which allows us to quantize the theory by using the standard first order canonical quantization method. It is shown that quantum massive conformal gravity is renormalizable but has ghost states. A possible decoupling of these ghost states at high energies is discussed.

description: In this work we propose and examine Location Verification Systems (LVSs) for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) in the realistic setting of Rician fading channels. In our LVSs, a single authorized Base Station (BS) equipped with multiple antennas aims to detect a malicious vehicle that is spoofing its claimed location. We first determine the optimal attack strategy of the malicious vehicle, which in turn allows us to analyze the optimal LVS performance as a function of the Rician $K$-factor of the channel between the BS and a legitimate vehicle. Our analysis also allows us to formally prove that the LVS performance limit is independent of the properties of the channel between the BS and the malicious vehicle, provided the malicious vehicle's antenna number is above a specified value. We also investigate how tracking information on a vehicle quantitatively improves the detection performance of an LVS, showing how optimal performance is obtained under the assumption of the tracking length being randomly selected. The work presented here can be readily extended to multiple BS scenarios, and therefore forms the foundation for all optimal location authentication schemes within the context of Rician fading channels. Our study closes important gaps in the current understanding of LVS performance within the context of VANETs, and will be of practical value to certificate revocation schemes within IEEE 1609.2.

description: Surfaces bombarded with low energy ion beams often display development of self assembled patterns and quasi-periodic structures. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to describe ion sputtered Tantalum surfaces. A weak nonlinearity in the relaxation process has been introduced and the results show that the Positive Schwoebel barrier, produced by the nonlinear Hamiltonian, is necessary in describing ion bombarded Tantalum surfaces. Furthermore, their scaling exponents suggest presence of a class other than KPZ.

description: Brownian dynamics of Dirac fermions in twisted bilayer graphene is investigated within the framework of semiclassical relativistic Langevin equations. We find that under the influence of orthogonal, commensurate ac drives in the periodic ratchet potential of a substrate, the charge carriers in the system exhibit pronounced random dynamics, tuned by the twist angle, making twisted bilayer graphene distinguishable from monolayer graphene. It is shown that as threshold twist angle matches the optimal angle, deterministic running states appear in the limit of weak thermal noise where the diffusion rate is enhanced significantly compared to bare thermal diffusion. Analysis of the real space trajectories and diffusion coefficient illustrates the significant role of thermal noise in the random motion of Dirac fermions. In addition, we find that the Brownian particle shows remarkable ratchet effect as a net current.

description: We study the prediction of the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structures (EFTofLSS) for the matter power spectrum at different redshifts. In previous work, we found that the two-loop prediction can match the nonlinear power spectrum measured from $N$-body simulations at redshift zero within approximately 2% up to $k\sim 0.6\,h\, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ after fixing a single free parameter, the so-called "speed of sound". We determine the time evolution of this parameter by matching the EFTofLSS prediction to simulation output at different redshifts, and find that it is well-described by a fitting function that only includes one additional parameter. After the two free parameters are fixed, the prediction agrees with nonlinear data within approximately 2% up to at least $k\sim 1\,h\, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ at $z\geq 1$, and also within approximately 5% up to $k\sim 1.2\,h\, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ at $z=1$ and $k\sim 2.3\,h\, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ at $z=3$, a major improvement with respect to other perturbative techniques. We also develop an accurate way to estimate where the EFTofLSS predictions at different loop orders should fail, based on the sizes of the next-order terms that are neglected, and find agreement with the actual comparisons to data. Finally, we use our matter power spectrum results to perform analytical calculations of lensing potential power spectra corresponding to both CMB and galaxy lensing. This opens the door to future direct applications of the EFTofLSS to observations of gravitational clustering on cosmic scales.

description: The essay focuses on the parliamentary oversight on state secret and intelligence in the light of some experiences such as the Italian, French and Belgian ones.
The issues of security and respect for democratic rules in the exercise of the Executive powers under state secret and intelligence are matters on which the legal systems are having to face more and more: they take political relevance just for the “sensitive” content of the inherent activities. Historically, the secret state and the activities of the security services have always been a prerogative of the Executive which had not only the monopoly of its use but also a total discretion in the definition of the rules relating to its use and its protection. Since some decades, however, all countries have revealed the need to guarantee full respect for the separation of powers and the rule of law through the provision of effective controls. The path towards un effective parliamentary control, however, has struggled to establish itself fully.

description: The Planck collaboration has provided us rich information about the early universe, and a host of new observational missions will soon shed further light on the `anomalies' that appear to exist on the largest angular scales. From a quantum gravity perspective, it is natural to inquire if one can trace back the origin of such puzzling features to Planck scale physics. Loop quantum cosmology provides a promising avenue to explore this issue because of its natural resolution of the big bang singularity. Thanks to advances over the last decade, the theory has matured sufficiently to allow concrete calculations of the phenomenological consequences of its pre-inflationary dynamics. In this article we summarize the current status of the ensuing two-way dialog between quantum gravity and observations.

description: We propose a novel experiment to search for dark matter, based on the application of an electric field inside a microwave cavity and electrometry using Rydberg atoms. We show that this kind of experiment could be extremely useful for detecting specific dark matter candidates, namely massive vector fields coupled to the photon field, more commonly known as dark photons. Such a massive vector field is a good candidate for dark matter. Using realistic experimental parameters we show that such an experiment could improve the current constraint on the coupling constant of the dark photons to Standard Model photons in the 1~$μ$eV to 10~$μ$eV mass range, with the possibility of tuning the maximum sensitivity via the cavity size. The main limiting factors on the sensitivity of the experiment are the amplitude stability of the applied field and the measurement uncertainty of the electric field by the atoms.

description: Context. We present an analysis of our high-resolution relativistic-hydrodynamics model of the stellar- and pulsar-wind interaction in the LS-5039 system. Aims. With our high-resolution simulation covering three orbital periods, we analyse the impact of turbulence with a particular focus on short-term and orbit-to-orbit variations. Methods. Our model uses a relativistic hydrodynamics description of the wind interaction in the LS-5039 system assuming a pulsar-wind driven scenario. The corresponding system of equations is solved using the finite-volume code Cronos. We compute statistical quantities, also relevant for particle acceleration in this system, from results of multiple consecutive timesteps. Results. In our simulation we find the previously observed shock structures related to the wind-collision region (WCR), including the pulsar-wind termination, being dynamically influenced by orbital motion. In our high-resolution simulation we find high turbulence levels following from instabilities driven at the WCR. These instabilities lead to strong fluctuations of several dynamical quantities especially around and after apastron. These fluctuations are expected to impact the particle transport and also especially the related emission of non-thermal radiation. As an important example, the region from which gamma-ray emission has been found to be boosted due to relativistic beaming in previous studies shows strong variations in size both on short and on orbital timescales. Conclusions. Using a large computational domain together with high spatial resolution allowed a detailed study of fluctuations in the stellar- and pulsar-wind interaction. The results indicate a possible influence on the non-thermal emission from this system, which will be analysed with dedicated simulations in a forthcoming publication.

description: The article explores the evolution of whistleblowing in the Italian legal system, from the law 190/2012 to the most recently enacted law 179/2017. It presents an overview of European guidelines and best practices and makes reference to other legal systems, such as those of the United States and the United Kingdom, where laws on whistleblowing – which differ significantly from the Italian approach – have been applied in numerous cases in the recent past.
The article highlights the main changes brought about by the law 179/2017, ranging from widening the scope of application to introducing sanctions, and finds that further reform is required in order to address inconsistencies and gaps that remain in the legal framework. The National Anticorruption Authority will have to play its part by developing new guidelines and regulating the sanctions system.

description: [Context] Interviewing stakeholders is the most popular requirements elicitation technique among multiple methods. The success of an interview depends on the collaboration of the interviewee which can be fostered through the interviewer's preparedness and communication skills. Mastering these skills requires experience and practicing interviews. [Problem] Practical training is resource-heavy as it calls for the time and effort of a stakeholder for each student which may not be feasible for a large number of students. [Method] To address this scalability problem, this paper proposes RoboREIT, an interactive Robotic tutor for Requirements Elicitation Interview Training. The humanoid robotic component of RoboREIT responds to the questions of the interviewer, which the interviewer chooses from a set of predefined alternatives for a particular scenario. After the interview session, RoboREIT provides contextual feedback to the interviewer on their performance and allows the student to inspect their mistakes. RoboREIT is extensible with various scenarios. [Results] We performed an exploratory user study to evaluate RoboREIT and demonstrate its applicability in requirements elicitation interview training. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of the users' responses reveal the appreciation of RoboREIT and provide further suggestions about how to improve it. [Contribution] Our study is the first in the literature that utilizes a social robot in requirements elicitation interview education. RoboREIT's innovative design incorporates replaying faulty interview stages and allows the student to learn from mistakes by a second time practicing. All participants praised the feedback component, which is not present in the state-of-the-art, for being helpful in identifying the mistakes. A favorable response rate of 81% for the system's usefulness indicates the positive perception of the participants.

description: We present an extended grid of multi-epoch 1D nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer calculations for nebular-phase Type Ibc supernovae (SNe) from He-star explosions. Compared to Dessart+21, we study the spectral evolution from 100 to about 450d and augment the model set with progenitors that were evolved without wind mass loss. Models with the same final, preSN mass have similar yields and produce essentially the same emergent spectra. Hence, the uncertain progenitor mass loss history compromises the inference of the initial, main sequence mass. This shortcoming does not affect Type IIb SNe. However, our 1D models with a different preSN mass tend to yield widely different spectra, as seen through variations in the strong emission lines due to [NII]6548-6583, [OI]6300-6364, [CaII]7291-7323, [NiII]7378, and the forest of FeII lines below 5500A. At the lower mass end, the ejecta are He rich and at 100d cool through HeI, NII, CaII, and FeII lines, with NII and FeII dominating at 450d. These models, associated with He giants, conflict with observed SNe Ib, which typically lack strong NII emission. Instead they may lead to SNe Ibn or, because of additional stripping by a companion star, ultra-stripped SNe Ic. In contrast, for higher preSN masses, the ejecta are progressively He poor and cool at 100d through OI, CaII, and FeII lines, with OI and CaII dominating at 450d. Nonuniform, aspherical, large-scale mixing rather than composition differences likely determines the SN type at intermediate preSN masses. Variations in clumping, mixing, as well as departures from spherical symmetry would increase the spectral diversity but also introduce additional degeneracies. More robust predictions from spectral modeling require a careful attention to the initial conditions informed by physically-consistent 3D explosion models [abridged].

description: Esta dissertação examina o prefácio de Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716) que trata do estilo de discurso adequado à Filosofia, intitulado Dissertação sobre o estilo filosófico de Mario Nizzoli, de 1670, quando Leibniz reedita a obra de Mario Nizzoli (1498 – 1566) Sobre os verdadeiros princípios e o verdadeiro método de filosofar (de 1553). Neste trabalho, avalio a concepção de Leibniz de discurso filosófico e sua inerência à Retórica, à pureza e elegância da linguagem, concepção que se revela ao Leibniz aprovar o projeto de Nizzoli de restauração da eloqüência filosófica. Por outro lado, destaco também a oposição de Leibniz a Nizzoli, quando este responsabiliza Aristóteles – vinculando-o a seus intérpretes escolásticos –, pela corrupção da eloqüência filosófica. Deste modo, Leibniz, partidário de Aristóteles, planeja reabilitá-lo, afastando-o da barbárie escolástica, sem com isso pender para o ciceronianismo renascentista de Nizzoli. Este trabalho tem como objetivos: I – Apresentar as circunstâncias de produção da Dissertação sobre o estilo filosófico de Mario Nizzoli e da reedição da obra de Mario Nizzoli, bem como sua relação com o debate filosófico renascentista da eloqüência x barbárie; II – Relacionar a Dissertação com o debate filosófico renascentista da eloqüência x barbárie; III – Expor as propostas e conceitos da Dissertação; IV – Analisar retoricamente a Dissertação; V – Traduzir a Dissertação.

description: Hydrogen fuel cells offer a clean and sustainable energy conversion solution. The bipolar separator plate, a critical component in fuel cells, plays a vital role in preventing reactant gas cross-contamination and facilitating efficient ion transport in a fuel cell. High chromium ferritic stainless steel with an artificially formed thin chromium oxide passive film has recently gained attention due to its superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it a suitable material for separators. In this study, we investigate the microscopic electrical conductivity of the intrinsic passive oxide film on such ferritic stainless steel. Through advanced surface characterization techniques such as current sensing atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, we discover highly conductive regions within the film that vary depending on location. These findings provide valuable insights into the behavior of the passive oxide film in fuel cells. By understanding the microscopic electrical properties, we can enhance the design and performance of separator materials in hydrogen fuel cells. Ultimately, this research contributes to a broader understanding of separator materials and supports the wider application of hydrogen fuel cells.

description: The study aims to identify the relationship between speed and endurance during the process of discovering and scouting sports talent in the middle-distance running races. In this study, we used the descriptive approach on a sample of 245 students were deliberately selected. To collect data we used Brikci test to measure endurance, and to measure speed we chose the 70 meter running test. After collecting and processing the results and them, the results show that there is a relation between endurance and speed during the process of discovering and scouting process. The statistical results showed that there is a correlative relationship between endurance and speed in young middle-distance runners in athletics, so the results of thephysical tests confirmed the contribution of early detection of gifted young people with exceptional physical quality.

description: Abstract: The present research paper centers on “The Concept of Law and Justice in the Select Fictions of William Dean Howells”. It is clear from the novels that Howells rejects any concept of law or justice as absolute in human experience. Rather, law and justice are problematic and, in a pragmatic manner, are subject to the test of experience. Man’s knowledge about universal laws, for example, is imperfect and obscure because of the limitations of his human nature. In situations involving a conflict of interests or goods, justice is not automatically secured by following some abstract concept of law. Justice or injustice inheres in a situation according to action taken to resolve a conflict. Criteria for judgment, then, are not absolute but are discovered through inquiry into the actualities of a situation with a view toward effecting consequent good for the persons involved; and good is not only for the short run; it is for the long run as well.

description: Language identification (LID) is a fundamental step in many natural language processing pipelines. However, current LID systems are far from perfect, particularly on lower-resource languages. We present a LID model which achieves a macro-average F1 score of 0.93 and a false positive rate of 0.033 across 201 languages, outperforming previous work. We achieve this by training on a curated dataset of monolingual data, the reliability of which we ensure by auditing a sample from each source and each language manually. We make both the model and the dataset available to the research community. Finally, we carry out detailed analysis into our model's performance, both in comparison to existing open models and by language class.

INNOVATION IN RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

description: Oral infectious diseases are probably the most common infectious pathologies affecting humankind. They have a significant impact on both people quality of life and costs for the healthcare system. Thus, their prevention should be high priority for governaments and research institutes. There are hundres of bacterial species in the oral environment, however, only a few of them are pathogenic. In fact, the disease begins when there is an imbalance in the oral biofilm with a prevalence of pathogenic species. In order to prevent oral infectious diseases we can eliminate most of the oral biofilm with mechanical and chemical means. However, in this way also many saprophytic species are eradicated. A smart solution could be to induce a selective pressure for ?good? oral bacteria thus hampering pathogenic ones. How can we achive this? Modifying our diet is a possible solution, we demonstrated how cariogenic biofilm development was lowered by using levorotatory carbohydrates instead of dextrorotatory ones. If we already have a carious lesion, it should be removed and the tooth restored with proper materials. However, most of them are methacrylate based and favour biofilm development, moreover, they also seem to select cariogenic species due to the lack of buffering ability. In our study we demonstrated how the use of different materials, the siloranes, could lead to a decrease in the biofilm development, thus theoretically lowering the incidence of secondary caries. If a tooth cannot be recovered and should be extracted, dental implants are probably the best solution for their replacement. However, peri-implantitis is a serious issue affecting up to 50% of the implant and can lead to their loss. The prevention of this oral disease is hence very important. In our study we compared different materials and showed that biofilm formation was similar in all of them. In future studies we will investigate if the biofilm on these materials is similar or not and if they are prevalently pathogenic or saprophytic ones. In conclusion, oral infectious disease are still very common and for decades dentists tried to achieve oral health by eliminating all the biofilm. However, the most innovative strategy is not to eradicate it but to induce selective pressures by using different means thus leading to a beneficial biofilm which does not cause illness but instead promote our health.
Two indicators rule them all: Mean and standard deviation used to calculate other journal indicators based on log-normal distribution of citation counts

description: Two journal-level indicators, respectively the mean ($m^i$) and the standard deviation ($v^i$) are proposed to be the core indicators of each journal and we show that quite several other indicators can be calculated from those two core indicators, assuming that yearly citation counts of papers in each journal follows more or less a log-normal distribution. Those other journal-level indicators include journal h index, journal one-by-one-sample comparison citation success index $S_j^i$, journal multiple-sample $K^i-K^j$ comparison success rate $S_{j,K^j}^{i,K^i }$, and minimum representative sizes $κ_j^i$ and $κ_i^j$, the average ranking of all papers in a journal in a set of journals($R^t$). We find that those indicators are consistent with those calculated directly using the raw citation data ($C^i=\{c_1^i,c_2^i,\dots,c_{N^i}^i \},\forall i$) of journals. In addition to its theoretical significance, the ability to estimate other indicators from core indicators has practical implications. This feature enables individuals who lack access to raw citation count data to utilize other indicators by simply using core indicators, which are typically easily accessible.

description: Tabulation of the evaluation of outcome reporting bias. ‘✓’ denotes consistent reporting across publications; ‘✗’ denotes inconsistent reporting; ‘o’ denotes partial reporting whereby the instrument remains consistent but the time frame does not; ‘P-only’ denotes that the outcome was specified in the protocol, but not reported as a study finding; ‘F-only’ denotes that the outcome was not specified in the protocol, but was reported as a study finding. For P-only, we cannot distinguish cases where an outcome was measured and analysed but not reported, measured but not analysed or reported, or not measured. (DOCX 25 kb)

description: We theoretically propose a strategy to address an individual spin in a large array of spin qubits with a random distribution of g-factors by employing a combination of single-qubit and SWAP gates facilitated by a global microwave field and local exchange pulses. Consequently, only the target qubit undergoes the desired operation and all other qubits return to their original states, even qubits that share the same Larmor frequency as the target. Gate fidelities above 99% can thus be maintained for arrays containing tens of qubits.
Neutrino versus antineutrino cross sections and CP violation

description: We discuss the nuclear interactions of neutrinos versus those of antineutrinos, a relevant comparison for CP violation experiments in the neutrino sector. We consider the MiniBooNE quasielastic-like double differential neutrinos and antineutrinos cross sections which are flux dependent and hence specific to the MiniBooNE set-up. We combine them introducing their sum and their difference. We show that the last combination can bring a general information, which can be exploited in other experiments, on the nuclear matrix elements of the axial vector interference term. Our theoretical model reproduces well the two cross sections combinations. This confirms the need for a sizeable multinucleon component in particular in the interference term.
OXIDATIVE-ANTIOXIDATIVE COMPOUNDS AND LIPID PARAMETERS AS POTENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGNOSTIC MARKERS IN ANIMALS WITH SIRS

description: Nowadays in veterinary medicine the discrimination between an inflammatory status and a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) sometimes related to an infectious disease and with a poorer prognosis, could be difficult, both for the clinicians and the clinical pathologists. An early diagnosis would permit to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics (mainly to contain the problem of antibiotic resistance) and to establish an appropriate monitoring plan. The aim of the two first described works was to validate in horses the Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), a negative acute phase protein already used in dogs; 120 healthy horses of different sex, age and breed were enrolled; then, this protein was evaluated as a possible diagnostic and prognostic markers of SIRS in this species; PON-1 did not seem to be useful to this aim. The prognostic value was not evaluable because of the small amount of survivors in the SIRS group that did not permit a serial evaluation of PON-1 values. The second part of the thesis is about the Protein Carbonyls (PCOs), that are already used as sepsis markers in humans; a Western Blotting method was initially validated to detect PCOs in canine serum from healthy patients; then, a spectrophotometric method, that could be cheaper and faster than the first one, was employed. With this method, serum from healthy dogs and from dogs with septic or non-septic inflammation was used to measure PCOs. Results between groups were compared to evaluate if PCOs could be considered as possible diagnostic markers of sepsis in association with PON-1 and C-reactive protein (CRP). This marker seemed to be useful to distinguish dogs with sepsis from dogs with sterile inflammation or healthy, but not to give prognostic information. An increase in the amount of the enrolled dogs would consent to enforce the hypothesis that PCOs could become a reliable support to diagnose sepsis.
