description: To complement the neutrino-physics lectures given at the 2011 International School on Astro Particle Physics devoted to Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics (ISAPP 2011; Varenna, Italy), at the 2011 European School of High Energy Physics (ESHEP 2011; Cheila Gradistei, Romania), and, in modified form, at other summer schools, we present here a written description of the physics of neutrino oscillation. This description is centered on a new way of deriving the oscillation probability. We also provide a brief guide to references relevant to topics other than neutrino oscillation that were covered in the lectures.

On CP Asymmetries in Two-, Three- and Four-Body D Decays

description: Indirect and direct CP violations have been established in K_L and B_d decays. They have been found in two-body decay channels -- with the exception of K_L to pi^+ pi^- e^+ e^- transitions. Evidence for direct CP asymmetry has just appeared in LHCb data on A_{CP}(D^0 to K^+ K^-) - A_{CP}(D^0 to pi^+ pi^-) with 3.5 sigma significance. Manifestations of New Dynamics (ND) can appear in CP asymmetries just below experimental bounds. We discuss D^{\pm}_{(s)}, D^0/\bar D^0 and D_L/D_S transitions to 2-, 3- and 4-body final states with a comment on predictions for inclusive vs. exclusive CP asymmetries. In particular we discuss T asymmetries in D to h_1 h_2 l^+ l^- in analogy with K_L to pi^+ pi^- e^+ e^- transitions due to interference between M1, internal bremsstrahlung and possible E1 amplitudes. Such an effect depends on the strength of CP violation originating from the ND -- as discussed here for Little Higgs Models with T parity and non-minimal Higgs sectors -- but also in the interferences between these amplitudes even in the Standard Model (SM). More general lessons can be learnt for T asymmetries in non-leptonic D decays like D to h_1h_2 h_3 h_4. Such manifestations of ND can be tested at LHCb and other Super-Flavour Factories like the projects at KEK near Tokyo and at Tor Vergata/Frascati near Rome.

description: Let $f$ be a nonincreasing function defined on $[0,1]$. Under standard regularity conditions, we derive the asymptotic distribution of the supremum norm of the difference between $f$ and its Grenander-type estimator on sub-intervals of $[0,1]$. The rate of convergence is found to be of order $(n/\log n)^{-1/3}$ and the limiting distribution to be Gumbel.

description: We consider Noether symmetry approach to find out exact cosmological solutions in $f(T)$-gravity. Instead of taking into account phenomenological models, we apply the Noether symmetry to the $f(T)$ gravity. As a result, the presence of such symmetries selects viable models and allow to solve the equations of motion. We show that the generated $f(T)$ leads to a power law expansion for the cosmological scale factor.

Minkowski Decomposition of Associahedra and Related Combinatorics

description: Realisations of associahedra with linearly non-isomorphic normal fans can be obtained by alteration of the right-hand sides of the facet-defining inequalities from a classical permutahedron. These polytopes can be expressed as Minkowski sums and differences of dilated faces of a standard simplex as described by Ardila, Benedetti & Doker (2010). The coefficients $y_I$ of such a Minkowski decomposition can be computed by Möbius inversion if tight right-hand sides $z_I$ are known not just for the facet-defining inequalities of the associahedron but also for all inequalities of the permutahedron that are redundant for the associahedron. We show for certain families of these associahedra: (a) how to compute tight values $z_I$ for the redundant inequalities from the values $z_I$ for the facet-defining inequalities; (b) the computation of the values $y_I$ of Ardila, Benedetti & Doker can be significantly simplified and at most four values $z_{a(I)}$, $z_{b(I)}$, $z_{c(I)}$ and $z_{d(I)}$ are needed to compute $y_I$; (c) the four indices $a(I)$, $b(I)$, $c(I)$ and $d(I)$ are determined by the geometry of the normal fan of the associahedron and are described combinatorially; (d) a combinatorial interpretation of the values $y_I$ using a labeled $n$-gon. This last result is inspired from similar interpretations for vertex coordinates originally described originally by J.-L. Loday and well-known interpretations for the $z_I$-values of facet-defining inequalities.

Il 2006 ci ha offerto la pubblicazione di tre  manuali1 che, con un taglio ed un’impostazione nuovi, si  rivolgono ad un’utenza che non è fatta soltanto degli studenti delle  nostre Università; la pubblicazione del primo numero della nuova rivista  semestrale “Diritto e Religioni”2, che intende trattare il  fattore religioso da molteplici punti di vista aprendosi ad una  molteplicità di scienze affini (antropologia, sociologia, storia,  filosofia); la nascita di questa rivista telematica che non vuole avere  un proprio indirizzo o orientamento, ma si prefigge lo scopo di essere  strumento e manifesto della pluralità e del pluralismo delle scuole,  delle sensibilità, dei metodi che alimentano il patrimonio comune del  sapere teorico perché in esso trovi a sua volta alimento il concreto,  quotidiano farsi dell’esperienza giuridica. Due ricorrenze di  particolare rilievo segnano, ancora, questa fase: i cinquanta anni della  Corte costituzionale, alla cui attività molto è legato il rinnovamento  del “diritto ecclesiastico”, che ha partecipato alla celebrazione corale  offrendo uno specifico contributo di analisi della sua giurisprudenza 3;  i dodici lustri della Costituzione repubblicana, un’età “matura” che  offre l’occasione per un bilancio della sua vitalità, delle compiute  attuazioni, delle attese non ancora realizzate.

Unexpected events while manually falling trees
Creators: name: DeMille, Gregory John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: To date, the forest industry has relied on incident data in the form of fatality and serious injury statistics to improve safety in manual tree falling. These data are limited in their ability to improve falling safety. Thus, it is necessary to record another class of incident data to help gain insight into the difficulty (or danger) of falling trees. This study used a system of conditions (management requiring conditions) that are reported by the faller before a tree was felled and an assessment by the faller of whether the tree deviated from the intended plan (unexpected event) to determine if the frequency of unexpected events was correlated with site specific factors or the frequency of management requiring conditions encountered. In total, 1292 falling observations were collected during 86 one-hour observation periods. In this study it was found that there were significant differences between fallers in the frequency of management requiring conditions reported; however, other than the presence of an adjacent standing tree with falling cuts present (cut-up tree), the management requiring conditions were not good predictors of whether an unexpected event would occur. The likelihood of an unexpected event occurring was found to be correlated with terrain type, ground slope, stump diameter, and the presence of a cut-up tree. Overall, 6.9 % of the falling observations had an unexpected event occur. Of particular note, 1.2% of the observations had an unexpected event occur with a severity code 2 or 3, which indicates it was more than normal variation in falling. Given the uncertainty that a faller is exposed to when cutting into a tree, a major focus on faller safety must consider how to help the faller to be mentally and physically ready to adapt to changing conditions while working on a tree. The results indicating that all fallers who participated in this study had unexpected events, and that management requiring conditions were not good predictors of unexpected events, demonstrates that data collected at the harvest planning phase (often years before falling) will not be very effective at predicting unexpected events during falling.

description: We study the low energy evolution of coupling constants of the standard model and show that gauge coupling unification can be achieved at the electroweak scale with a suitable normalization. We choose the grand unification group to be the semidirect product of Spin(8) by S_3. In this case the three low energy gauge couplings and the two scalar self-couplings are determined in terms of two independent parameters. In particular, it gives a precise prediction for the mass of the Higgs boson.

description: Mentre la scienza costituzionalistica si interroga da qualche tempo sul  cambiamento del ruolo del Capo dello Stato nel nostro ordinamento  costituzionale - specie da quando il settennato presidenziale si svolge  “all’interno di una dinamica bipolare e maggioritaria nella forma di  governo parlamentare” - la dottrina ecclesiasticistica non ha avuto  motivo di approfondire in modo particolare se, nel campo di ricerca  proprio, vi fosse un ruolo specifico del Presidente della Repubblica,  sia per l’aspetto della tutela dei diritti inviolabili della persona  interessati dal fattore religioso, sia nei profili delle relazioni e  della disciplina dei rapporti Stato–confessioni, e se possa ritenersi in  parte mutato. Il passaggio dalla monarchia alla Repubblica, è noto, ha  ridotto di molto le di lui competenze nella materia “ecclesiastica”, ed  una svolta determinante a questo processo storico è stata impressa dalla  Costituzione. Quel processo, si è detto in passato, “non ha ancora  esaurito il suo iter”; e, più di recente, si è potuto sottolineare che,  nella nostra materia, “rimane in ogni caso estranea alla figura  costituzionale del Capo dello Stato … la titolarità di una qualsiasi  funzione di indirizzo politico in senso stretto”, restando il suo  compito limitato a quello più generale di rappresentante dell’unità  nazionale e di “custode” della Carta ed a quelli, di ridotta valenza,  concernenti alcuni profili amministrativi connessi all’attività  normativa del Governo.

Non-classicality criteria from phase-space representations and information-theoretical constraints are maximally inequivalent

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012

description: We consider two celebrated criteria for defining the non-classicality of bipartite bosonic quantum systems, the first stemming from information theoretic concepts and the second from physical constraints on the quantum phase-space. Consequently, two sets of allegedly classical states are singled out: i) the set C composed of the so called classical-classical (CC) states---separable states that are locally distinguishable and do not possess quantum discord; ii) the set P of states endowed with a positive P-representation (P-classical states)---mixture of Glauber coherent states that, e.g., fail to show negativity of their Wigner function. By showing that C and P are almost disjoint, we prove that the two defining criteria are maximally inequivalent. Thus, the notions of classicality that they put forward are radically different. In particular, generic CC states show quantumness in their P-representation and, viceversa, almost all P-classical states have positive quantum discord, hence are not CC. This inequivalence is further elucidated considering different applications of P-classical and CC states. Our results suggest that there are other quantum correlations in nature than those revealed by entanglement and quantum discord.

description: Staircase and Poisson scaling are two typical patterns we observe for the exclusive number of jets at high energy hadron colliders. We examine these scaling properties for photon plus jets production at the LHC and find that this channel is well suited to study these features. We illustrate and discuss when to expect each of the two patterns, how to induce a transition through kinematic cuts, and how photons are related to heavy gauge bosons. Measurements of photon+jets production is therefore providing valuable information on exclusive jet scaling, which is going to help to eventually understand the theoretical origin of exclusive jet scaling properties in more detail.

Terminologia tecnica e riappropriazione concettuale: le polifonie medievali come laboratorio compositivo

description: Gli studi di Simha Arom sulla polifonia africana ha avuto un notevole impatto sulla cultura occidentale, in modo particolare con riferimento alla teoria ritmica della composizione. Scopo principale di questo studio è discutere la relazione fra la comparsa di termini antichi relativi alla teoria musicale e l’effettiva possibilità di descriverli in contesti musicali moderni.

In che modo si possono usare concetti come talea, color, organum nella descrizione di strutture ritmiche concepite al di fuori della teoria canonica occidentale? Gli scritti di Arom mostrano come oggi sia ancora possibile individuare un nesso tra modelli africani di scansione ritmica e il concetto occidentale di dissonanza temporale: ma qual è il ruolo della percezione all’interno di questa descrizione?

Simha Arom’s Studies in African Polyphony had a great impact in Western Culture, especially inside the Rhythmic Theory of Composition: the main aim of this work is a discussion about the  relationships between the occurrences  of  ancient terms connected to music theory and the strength possibility of description  in modern music contexts.
 How can we use concepts like Talea, Color, Organum in the description of rhythmical structures conceived outside the western canonical  theory? The Arom’s writings show us that today is still possible to establish a link between African models of Rhythmical periods and the Western Concept of temporal dissonance: but what is the role of perception inside this description?

description: There is a growing evidence for the anomalously large semileptonic CP asymmetry in the B meson system measured at the Tevatron. The noncontractible space, as an alternative symmetry-breaking mechanism to the Higgs mechanism, can change standard field theoretic calculations of the physical processes mediated through quantum loops for large external momenta or large internal masses. The presence of the W bosons and t-quarks in loops of the B meson mixing can enhance the corresponding semileptonic CP asymmetry when the loop integration is up to the universal Lorentz and gauge invariant UV cut-off. We show that the enhancement is roughly 13%, thus the possible deviation is measurable at the Tevatron, LHCb, SuperKEKB and SuperB facilities.

"Urlar li fa la pioggia come cani". Ambiente sonoro, voce ed elettronica nell’Inferno di Sciarrino
Creators: name: Broglia, Simone

Year: 2011

description: L’articolo si concentra sull’opera per nastro magnetico “La voce dall’Inferno”. Inizialmente concepita come opera radiofonica, composta da Edoardo Torricella e Salvatore Sciarrino, vuole presentare attraverso le sonorità possibili con l’elettronica un approccio al mondo dei dannati che ne risvegli i rumori e le voci, l’acustica del luogo e le presenze.

Su questi elementi si concentrerà anche il mio articolo, partendo dallo studio di un otologo sulla Commedia, ci si sposterà a questioni filosofiche ed estetiche che riguardano il rapporto tra la voce e lo spazio, tra la voce e il rumore e l’utilizzo dell’elettronica applicata alla voce. In modo particolare però si cercherà di concentrare l’attenzione, attraverso l’ascolto dell’opera, su di una tematica: come la voce influisca sulla percezione emotiva dell’ambiente sonoro.

My essay focuses on the work for tape “La voce dall’Inferno”. Initially conceived as a radio opera, composed by Edoardo Torricella e Salvatore Sciarrino, “La voce dall’Inferno” wants to show through the sounds the world of damned with their noises, voices and their presence in that place.

The electronic sounds and the possibilities open by record, freezing, generator and synthesis play an important role in the development and the aesthetic of the opera.

On this elements will focus my article. We’ll move to philosophical and aesthetic issues that concern the relationship between voice and space, voice and noise, and the use of electronic instruments.
 In particular try to focus on a theme by listening to the opera: how the voice influences the emotional perception of the soundscape.

Aritmetiche e alchimie di suoni. Severino Boezio e Luciano Berio
Creators: name: Ophälders, Markus
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Luciano Berio apre il suo testamento poetico, Un ricordo al futuro, con un esplicito rinvio alla tripartizione della musica operata da Boezio e durante la discussione di specifiche tematiche della musica contemporanea vi torna a più riprese. Il presente lavoro intende indagare i motivi per un tale coinvolgimento dell’autore medievale nella ricerca poetica ed estetica di uno dei più importanti rappresentanti del mondo musicale novecentesco nonché il modo in cui la teoria di Boezio viene attualizzata da Berio. Si scoprirà che i problemi della musica del Novecento richiedono una profonda riflessione filosofica la quale però non può limitarsi alla sola componente teoretica e astratta, se non vuole perdere di vista la musica, e che non può limitarsi alle sole pratiche musicali se non vuole rinunciare alla propria autocoscienza. In questo senso Berio reinterpreta i tre tipi di musica, mundana, humana ed intrumentalis nella concezione boeziana per confrontarsi non solo con il grande problema del rapporto tra teoria e pratica musicale, ma anche per discutere specifiche tematiche musicali del Novecento.

Luciano Berio begins his poetical testament, Remembering the future, with an explicit link to the three types of music conceived by Boezio and during the discussion of specific themes of contemporary music he returns on this item several times. The present work intends to investigate the motivation of a similar confrontation with this medieval philosopher within the poetic and aesthetic research of one of the most important representatives of nineteenth century music; on the other hand the intention is to make clear in which way he proceeds by actualizing Boezio’s theory. It will become clear that the problems of nineteenth century music necessitate a profound philosophical reflection, which can not be limited to its mere theoretical and abstract component, if it doesn’t want to miss music in itself and, on the other hand, it can not be limited to the only musical practice, if it doesn’t want to renounce on its own consciousness. In this sense Berio reinterprets the three types of music, mundana, humana and intrumentalis, in their boezian conception in order to cope not only with the one big problem of the relationship between musical theory and practice, but also in order to discuss specific musical themes of the nineteenth century.

Istituzioni ritmiche e fine del tempo. "Modo" e "neuma" nel canto gregoriano  e in Olivier Messiaen
Creators: name: Mazzolini, Marco
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Prendendo le mosse dall’esame del ciclo pianistico Quatre études de rythme, di Olivier Messiaen (e in particolare del terzo brano, Neumes rythmiques), scritto fra il 1949 e il 1950, l’articolo delinea un sintetico confronto fra due differenti espressioni dell’arte musicale. Da un lato una composizione della metà del Novecento: repertorio profano, strumentale, frutto di concezioni individuali, testimonianza della fase post-tonale del pensiero musicale. Dall’altro la monodia gregoriana: repertorio sacro, vocale, anonimo, che esprime concetti formali pre-tonali. Occasione di tale raffronto è l’indagine sulla portata concettuale e tecnica di termini chiave come “modo” e “neuma”, che Messiaen mutua dalla teoria musicale medioevale facendone oggetto di riflessione teorica e principio di concezioni tecniche. L’articolo tenta di sondare la complessa trama di rapporti mediante la quale due espressioni artistiche apparentemente agli antipodi entrano in contatto e si illuminano a vicenda.

Expanding on the study of the piano cycle Quatre Études de Rythme (“Four Studies in Rhythm”) by Olivier Messiaen (and especially the third Étude, Neumes Rythmiques), composed in 1949–1950, this article provides a brief comparison between two different expressions of art music. On the one hand we have a composition dating back to the mid-1900s: profane instrumental music, the result of individual conceptions, bearing witness to the post-tonal development in musical thought. On the other, Gregorian monody: sacred vocal music, anonymous, expressing formal pre-tonal concepts. This comparison is developed by looking at the conceptual and technical meaning of key terms, such as “mode” and “neume”, which Messiaen turned from Mediaeval musical theory into subjects for theoretical reflection and a principle of technical conceptions. The article sets out to discuss their complex inter-relationships whereby these two artistic, seemingly opposing, expressions converge and are thus reciprocally enhanced.

Definizione di unità di misura del tempo musicale nel "Pomerium" di Marchetto da Padova
Creators: name: Sucato, Tiziana
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Nella notazione musicale ancora alla metà del Duecento i valori di durata sono organizzati in raggruppamenti di piedi ritmici costruiti su un minimo di durata (la breve), che è anche unità di misura del tempo musicale, corrispondente alla sillaba. Con la nascita della notazione mensurale, verso la fine del Duecento, ma soprattutto in seguito all'evoluzione della prassi compositiva, nei primi decenni del Trecento fu necessario ridefinire il rapporto tra tempo, minimo di durata e unità di misura. I musici al di qua e al di là delle Alpi ovviarono diversamente dando vita a due sistemi musicali e notazionali, italiano e francese, differenti proprio nei loro presupposti teorici. In ambito italiano Marchetto da Padova dimostra come l'unità di misura del tempo musicale non coincida con il minimo di durata in senso assoluto, ma con ciò che è minimo all'interno del genere musicale: pur chiamandosi ancora breve, l'unità di misura nel sistema notazionale italiano può arrivare a contenere fino a dodici suoni. L'articolo mette a fuoco come Marchetto da Padova giunga alla definizione dell'unità di misura del tempo musicale nel suo trattato Pomerium e mostra le implicazioni di tale presupposto sulla prassi compositiva e la specificità del repertorio medesimo rispetto al coevo repertorio francese.

During the latter half of the thirteenth century and particularly in the the fourteenth century, the mensural notation redefines the relationship between tempo, beat and temporal units. Italian and French musicians use different notational systems each with their own theoretical assumptions. In Italy Marchetto da Padova demonstrates that the beat does not coincide with the minimum in a quantitative understanding of musical time, but with the minimum in a qualitative undestanding of musical time: even it is called 'brevis', the beat in the Italian notational system can be divided up to twelve notes. The article focuses on how Marchetto of Padua explains it in his treatise Pomerium, and shows the implications of this assumption in compositional practice.

L’inscrutabile voce della triade. I tintinnabuli di Arvo Pärt tra filosofia e liturgia
Creators: name: La Matina, Marcello
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Può il brusio di una voce essere anche il luogo di una lingua? E vale questa topica anche nel caso in cui la voce sia quella di uno strumento musicale? Queste domande sono alla base della indagine sulla tecnica compositiva della tintinnabulatio, inventata e sperimentata dal musicista estone Arvo Pärt (Paide, 1935). I tintinnabuli consistono di due elementi apparentemente contraddittori: la sonorità pastosa dello zvod (le campane della liturgia ortodossa russa) e l’armonia della triade perfetta. Muovendo da un disco ricevuto in dono e dalla interpretazione in parte inedita di un passo di san Paolo, l’autore cerca di individuare il punto di articolazione dei tintinnabuli,  quella “grana” dove – come disse una volta Roland Barthes – una lingua incontra una voce. Il problema musicale sottende le interminabili discussioni trinitarie dell’Oriente cristiano  – qui per sfortuna solo accennate – e si manifesta nella figura dell’iconografo medievale Andrej Rublëv, cui il regista russo Tarkovskij ha dedicato, nel 1966, un denso e ispiratissimo film.

Could the rustling of a voice be also the place of a language?  And does it happen all the same, when the voice at issue is that of an instrumental body? Such questions are the basic ones for any inquiry into Arvo Pärt’s tintinnabuli—the technique invented and experienced by the famous Esthonian composer ( born in Paide, the 1935). It consists of  two seemingly conflicting elements: the doughy resonance of the zvot (i.e. the Russian liturgical set of bells); and the harmony of the perfect triad. The present paper moves from the personal memory of listening Pärt’s elegy Silouans Song. The delicate instrumental piece is said to conceal a prosodical calque of the voice of the famous staretz Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938). Silouan’s song —to use Barthes’ words—is the very place where “a language does meet a voice”.  Some interpretive consequences lead off such a meeting: from a misunderstanding of a Pauline passage  (Rom 14:5-10) to the art of sacred Icons; and from the Trinitarian controversies of Byzantine church fathers to the medieval painter St.Andrej Rublëv and his most famous icon: “The Holy Trinity”. A work where—as Andrej Tarkovski has shewed in his celebrated movie of 1966—Abraham’s oak is a like a bell concealing the threefold person of God.
