description: The lattice dynamics of hcp crystalline 4He is studied at zero temperature and for two different densities (near and far from melting), using a ground-state path-integral quantum Monte Carlo technique. The complete phonon dispersion is obtained, with particular attention to the separation of optic and acoustic branches and to the identification of transverse modes. Our study also sheds light onto the residual coherence affecting quasiparticle excitations in the intermediate momentum region, in-between the phonon and nearly-free particle regimes.

description: Short Term Load forecasting in this paper uses input data dependent on parameters such as load for current hour and previous two hours, temperature for current hour and previous two hours, wind for current hour and previous two hours, cloud for current hour and previous two hours. Forecasting will be of load demand for coming hour based on input parameters at that hour. In this paper we are using multiparameter regression method for forecasting which has error within tolerable range. Algorithms implementing these forecasting techniques have been programmed using MATLAB and applied to the case study. Other methodologies in this area are ANN, Fuzzy and Evolutionary Algorithms for which investigations are under process. Adaptive multiparameter regression for load forecasting, in near future will be possible.

description: © 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. Stomata are microscopic pores found on the surfaces of leaves that act to control CO2 uptake and water loss. By integrating information derived from endogenous signals with cues from the surrounding environment, the guard cells, which surround the pore, ‘set’ the stomatal aperture to suit the prevailing conditions. Much research has concentrated on understanding the rapid intracellular changes that result in immediate changes to the stomatal aperture. In this study, we look instead at how stomata acclimate to longer timescale variations in their environment. We show that the closure-inducing signals abscisic acid (ABA), increased CO2, decreased relative air humidity and darkness each access a unique gene network made up of clusters (or modules) of common cellular processes. However, within these networks some gene clusters are shared amongst all four stimuli. All stimuli modulate the expression of members of the PYR/PYL/RCAR family of ABA receptors. However, they are modulated differentially in a stimulus-specific manner. Of the six members of the PYR/PYL/RCAR family expressed in guard cells, PYL2 is sufficient for guard cell ABA-induced responses, whereas in the responses to CO2, PYL4 and PYL5 are essential. Overall, our work shows the importance of ABA as a central regulator and integrator of long-term changes in stomatal behaviour, including sensitivity, elicited by external signals. Understanding this architecture may aid in breeding crops with improved water and nutrient efficiency.

description: Using flow visualizations in Couette geometry, we demonstrate the existence of Taylor-like vortices in the shear-banding flow of a giant micelles system. We show that vortices stacked along the vorticity direction develop concomitantly with interfacial undulations. These cellular structures are mainly localized in the induced band and their dynamics is fully correlated with that of the interface. As the control parameter increases, we observe a transition from a steady vortex flow to a state where pairs of vortices are continuously created and destroyed. Normal stress effects are discussed as potential mechanisms driving the three-dimensional flow.

The second model deals with permutations of points in the space and there is an additional weight that involves the length of permutation jumps. We prove the occurrence of infinite macroscopic cycles above a certain critical density.

description: Mechanical-Biological Treatment (MBT) is a technology applied to reduce the environmental impacts of urban waste based on stabilising the organic matter content. As the process is not entirely efficient, the residue can generate methane when it is landfilled. Long-term methane emissions estimation based on models is usually over or underestimated because the actual waste composition after stabilisation is generally unknown. This work proposes a single tool to improve the emission estimations of the landfilled MBT waste based on the determination of the biomethane potential test (BMP). Experimental BMP of the crude and stabilised organic fractions of municipal solid waste obtained from an MBT plant were carried out, and the results were used to predict the methane emission from two models, LandGEM (2005) and IPCC (2006). In the LandGEM model the experimental value of BMP represents the methane potential L0 while in the IPCC model it allowed to obtain the ultimate organic carbon anaerobically degraded (DOCf), based on a linear correlation (R2=0.944, p-value< 0.05) that can be used to obtain the DOCf in a waste of any composition. The results of the long-term (40 years) methane emissions of the stabilised waste disposed on land showed overestimations of up 56.0% (IPCC model) and 259.5% (Landgem model) when default data, instead the actual DOCf were applied in stabilized waste; similar behaviour was observed for the crude waste (23.3 and 241.3% overestimations). Moreover, the impact of the stabilisation process revealed methane emission reductions of 5.1% and 20.9% based on LandGEM and IPCC models respectively.

description: The technique of database refactoring is all about applying disciplined and controlled techniques to change an existing database schema. The problem is to successfully create a Database Refactoring Framework for databases. This paper concentrates on the feasibility of adapting this concept to work as a generic template. To retain the constraints regardless of the modifications to the metadata, the paper proposes a MetaData Manipulation Tool to facilitate change. The tool adopts a Template Design Pattern to make it database independent. The paper presents a drawback of using java for constraint extraction and proposes an alternative.

THE INTERACTION BETWEEN MUTANT PRION PROTEIN AND GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS: A NOVEL MECHANISM FOR NEURONAL DYSFUNCTION IN GENETIC PRION DISEASES
Creators: name: GHIRARDINI, ELSA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Genetic prion diseases are rare, invariably fatal neurodegenerative disorders linked to mutations in the PRNP gene encoding the prion protein (PrP). PRNP mutations favor the conformational conversion of PrP into a pathogenic, misfolded isoform that accumulates in the central nervous system of affected individuals and kills neurons through an unknown mechanism. Evidence is emerging that neuronal loss in inherited prion diseases is preceded and possibly caused by synaptic dysfunctions. However, the ultimate link between synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration is yet to be found. We previously demonstrated that mutant PrP is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum where it interacts with the ?2-?1 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. This impairs the correct delivery of the channel complex to the cell surface, impacting synaptic transmission. Nevertheless, this phenomenon alone does not account for neurodegeneration. It has been shown that PrPC engages functional interactions with other proteins that are important for synaptic function, such as glutamate receptors. Here, we aimed to explore whether intracellular retention of mutant PrP affected also the trafficking of glutamate receptors, thereby producing adverse effects on neuronal function and survival. We found that mutant PrP impairs the membrane delivery of specific AMPA and NMDA receptor subunits, resulting in postsynaptic structural alterations and impaired basal glutamatergic transmission and synaptic plasticity. Moreover, retention of the GluA2 subunit of AMPA receptor results in exposure of GluA2-lacking, calcium-permeable AMPA receptors, leading to increased calcium permeability and enhanced sensitivity to excitotoxic cell death. Interestingly, distinct PrP mutations interact differently with glutamate receptors, altering their localization and function in different ways. Our findings identify a new pathological mechanism for genetic prion diseases and may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for such incurable conditions.

description: Polymers are highly promising materials for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. Hence in this work, we prepared phyllosilicate supported mesoporous polymer via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation, which is the one among the controlled radical polymerisation. The mesoporous material anchored on dodecanethiol trithiocarbonate acts as a chain transfer agent (CTA) for the polymerisation of chloromethyl styrene and further conversion to quaternary ammonium compound which is effective to trap CO2 using tertiary amine. The synthesised porous phyllosilicate/polymer nanocomposites have been characterised by using various analytical tools. The CO2 sorption experiments were carried out by passing CO2 onto the synthesised porous phyllosilicate/polymer nanocomposites. The sorption kinetics was monitored by X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra in the presence of carbonate were obtained by reaction of quaternary ammonium hydroxide and CO2. The phyllosilicate anchored macromolecular CTA (macro-CTA) and the surface-initiated polymer nanocomposites encompassed apparent surface areas of 94.5 and 26.8 m2 g−1, respectively. In addition, the total pore volumes calculated for the macro-CTA and polymer were found to be 0.27 and 0.095 cm3g−1, while the average pore sizes were 14.24 and 11.46 nm, respectively. The CO2 sorption capacity of the phyllosilicate/polymer nanocomposites, monitored at different temperatures, is the fastest for 25°C but slower for the sample treated at 50°C which may due to the dipole and quadrupole interaction.

Exploring prescribers’ experiences of providing assistive technology to immigrants in Canada
Creators: name: Tsai, Chih-Ting (Gina)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Introduction: Assistive technology can help individuals with disabilities compensate for limited function, increase their independence, and enhance their quality of life. However, few studies have explored the perceptions of health professionals who prescribe assistive technology to immigrants in Canada. There is some evidence to suggest that immigrants face challenges in acquiring assistive technology due to a lack of the understanding of dominant/Canadian culture, language barriers, and limited funding. Therefore, the overarching purpose of this study is to understand prescribers’ experiences with assistive technology provision to immigrants. The objectives of this study are to: (1) understand the assistive technology prescribers’ approaches to services delivery among immigrants who are unable to communicate with prescribers in their native language; (2) identify the challenges that therapists experience with the provision of assistive technology to this population; and (3) identify potential solutions to improve access, uptake, and usage of assistive technology. The study drew upon the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to describe the prescription process and compare the findings for discussion. Methods: In this interpretive description study, semi-structured interviews were used as the primary method of data collection. Twelve prescribers from diverse professions with expertise in assisting immigrants who could not communicate in their native language, were interviewed once for an average of 50 minutes and a total of around 10 hours. The qualitative data was analyzed following interpretive description procedures. Results: I collected data from 12 participants (Male: n=5, Female: n=7), and identified three main themes. “Aspiring to the client-centered provision of assistive technology” described how prescribers prioritized the goals and needs of their clients during the prescription process. “Struggling with linguistic, cultural, and systemic issues” included challenges faced by participants as they strove to adopt a client-centered approach. “Implementing stopgap solutions” explored the strategies employed and proposed by participants. Conclusion: This study aimed to understand the experiences of prescribers in prescribing assistive technology to immigrants. These insights could eventually help to develop strategies to improve immigrants' access to assistive technology, ultimately enhancing their independence and quality of life.

description: We discuss the lattice formulation of gauge theories with fermions in arbitrary representations of the color group, and present the implementation of the RHMC algorithm for simulating dynamical Wilson fermions. A first dataset is presented for the SU(2) gauge theory with two fermions in the adjoint representation, which has been proposed as a possible technicolor candidate. Simulations are performed on 8^3x16 lattices, at fixed lattice spacing. The PCAC mass, the pseudoscalar, vector and axial meson masses, the pseudoscalar meson decay constant are computed. The extrapolation to the chiral limit is discussed. However more extensive investigations are needed in order to control the systematic errors in the numerical results, and then understand in detail the phase structure of these theories.

Effect of entanglement on geometric phase for multi-qubit states

description: When a multi-qubit state evolves under local unitaries it may obtain a geometric phase, a feature dependent on the geometry of the state's projective Hilbert space. A correction term to this geometric phase in addition to the local subsystem phases may appear from correlations between the subsystems. We find this correction term can be characterized completely either by the entanglement or completely by the classical correlations for several classes of entangled state. States belonging to the former set are W states and their mixtures, while members of the latter set are cluster states, GHZ states and two classes of bound entangled state. We probe the structures of these states more finely using local invariants and suggest the cause of the entanglement correction is a gauge field like $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ invariant recently introduced named twist.

StrainInfo – A central database for resolving microbial strain identifiers
Microbial strains can be known by a myriad of different strain designations, culture collection numbers and sequence accessions, which poses a challenge to the communication of research findings, as well as the comparison and reuse of data. Culture collection numbers, like DSM 5522 or ATCC 43876 are the most commonly used strain identifiers for microorganisms. They have the advantage of being unique, stable and subject to the high quality standards of culture collections. Nevertheless, each collection receiving a culture of the same strain assigns their own number at deposition. Different designations are thus used throughout publications and databases, making it difficult for scientists to draw connections between them.
Here we present the StrainInfo database, a service that collects and curates culture collection numbers as well as their relations and links them with different sources of information, such as publications and sequence accession numbers. This facilitates the connecting of data describing the same strain. The database builds on the idea of the defunct StrainInfo.net web services, which were developed at the LMG (Ghent University) between 2000 and 2015. It uses archived data and functionalities from the original database combined with newly collected data and additional features. The information is provided through a modern and intuitive web user interface, which enables users to easily find corresponding strain identifiers and links to associated data, and through a web API, that allows for direct integration of strain identity resolution into workflows and other databases.
In the future, StrainInfo additionally aims to provide a central registry service for cultures, allowing microbiologists to register strain designations and receive persistent identifiers prior to deposition and publication.

SYNTHESIS OF NEW POLYCYCLIC COMPOUNDS WITH POTENTIAL ANTIMALARIAL AND/OR ANTILEISHMANIAL ACTIVITY
Creators: name: BARTESELLI, ANNA

description: ABSTRACT Malaria and leishmaniasis are potentially lethal protozoan diseases affecting a huge number of people worldwide, especially in underdeveloped countries. The alarming spread of drug resistance concerning both Plasmodium and Leishmania parasites makes the search of novel antimalarial and antileishmanial agents an urgent need. Unfortunately, at the moment even the combination therapies are failing in many regions afflicted by the diseases and alternatives are scarcely found. In addition, the available antileishmanial drugs are quite toxic, expensive and very often need monitoring and hospitalization. In the light of this dramatic situation, the discovery of novel effective, safe and affordable molecules is vital. Thus far, several strategies have been developed to overcome resistance mechanisms; among them, of particular interest are the structural optimization of already known antiprotozoal molecules, the development of hybrid compounds and the search of new chemical scaffolds. Based on these considerations, the aim of the present thesis was the synthesis of different novel sets of molecules, potentially candidates for the treatment of malaria and/or leishmaniasis. On one hand I prepared derivatives of the antiprotozoal agents chloroquine and clofazimine, in order to improve the biological activity and to reduce resistance mechanisms. On the other hand, I explored the potenzialities of new chemical scaffolds, such as indeno[2,1-c]quinolines, to design new antimalarials. Moreover, I evaluated the possibility of creating hybrid molecules, combining moieties with different mechanism of action which could carry out a synergistic effect. In particular, the quinoline nucleus has been combined with different HDACs inhibiting structures to generate antiplasmodial hybrids, whereas aphidicolin (a fungal metabolite with antileishmanial activity) has been condensed with other molecules endowed with antileishmanial activity, such as ethyl 3-chloroacetamidobenzoate and eflornithine. Biological assays were in general quite encouraging and suggested that these new classes of compounds could be considered as potential leads for the synthesis of new effective antiprotozoal drugs that, in some cases, could hopefully overcome resistance mechanisms.
Towards a pedagogy of disidentification : the promise of queer aesthetic sensibility as a cultivated disposition
Creators: name: Isherwood, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation unites aesthetic theory with queer theory to engage in a dialogue that delves into how the aesthetic interaction with artworks can generate what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (1994) termed queer energies. These energies serve as a means to unveil concealed bodily connections to oneself and others. This pursuit involves nurturing sensitivities and inclinations capable of recognizing the potential and promise of embracing a more queer-oriented citizenship. Developing such discerning attitudes empowers individuals engaged in aesthetics to overcome the challenges associated with unquestioned adherence to rules of heteronormativity and other predetermined classifications that function as recognizable public identities. This approach, driven by an openness to envisioning the possibilities of alterity, aligns with existing educational objectives that champion human equality and dignity ideals. In its exploration, this work draws upon instances from the author's personal experiences. These instances encompass challenges and discomfort. Yet, the study also dedicates space to wonder, creativity, and transformation. It offers avenues to contemplate living bodies, irrespective of their queerness or adherence to norms, as evolving forms of being, perpetually adapting to the world's diversity and other bodies. Furthermore, it invites others to cultivate similar dispositions and to undertake similar journeys.

DOES THE INHIBITION OF P2Y12 INHIBIT THE PRODUCTION OF THROMBOXANE A2 BY PLATELETS?
Creators: name: SCAVONE, MARIANGELA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), which includes aspirin, an inhibitor of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) production, and an antagonist of the P2Y12 receptor for ADP. Based on the recent observation that P2Y12 antagonists also inhibit the platelet production of TxA2, it has been suggested that patients with ACS might be safely treated with P2Y12 antagonists only. However, the observation that platelets congenitally deficient of P2Y12 synthesize normal amounts of TxA2 contrasts the results obtained with P2Y12 antagonists. To test whether the reported inhibitory effect of P2Y12 antagonists on TxA2 production is due to off-target effects, or secondary to inhibition of platelet aggregation (PA). Serum TxB2 was measured in 2 patients with inherited P2Y12 deficiency and 7 healthy subjects in presence/absence of increasing concentrations of P2Y12 antagonists added in vitro, and in 20 patients treated with 10 mg/d prasugrel (P2Y12 antagonist) or placebo for 14 days in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study. TxB2 levels were also measured after stimulation of citrate-PRP by collagen (0,5�g/mL) or arachidonic acid (1mM) in an aggregometer in presence/absence of P2Y12 antagonists, under stirring and non-stirring conditions (PA does not occur without stirring). P2Y12 antagonists did not decrease serum TxB2 levels both in vitro and ex vivo (prasugrel-treated patients). They partially inhibited TxB2 production under stirring, but not under non-stirring conditions. In conclusion, P2Y12 antagonists do not inhibit the platelet TxA2 production; therefore, there is no pharmacological evidence that aspirin should be withheld in patients with ACS.

description: We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of Mn-doped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) with 2 nm in diameter which can be experimentally synthesized with Mn atoms inside. Using the density-functional theory, we consider two doping cases: NCs containing one or two Mn impurities. Although the Mn d peaks carry five up electrons in the dot, the local magnetic moment on the Mn site is 4.65 mu_B. It is smaller than 5 mu_B because of the sp-d hybridization between the localized 3d electrons of the Mn atoms and the s- and p-type valence states of the host compound. The sp-d hybridization induces small magnetic moments on the Mnnearest- neighbor Te sites, antiparallel to the Mn moment affecting the p-type valence states of the undoped dot, as usual for a kinetic-mediated exchange magnetic coupling. Furthermore, we calculate the parameters standing for the sp-d exchange interactions. Conduction N0αand valence N0βare close to the experimental bulk values when the Mn impurities occupy bulklike NCs' central positions, and they tend to zero close to the surface. This behavior is further explained by an analysis of valence-band-edge states showing that symmetry breaking splits the states and in consequence reduces the exchange. For two Mn atoms in several positions, the valence edge states show a further departure from an interpretation based in a perturbative treatment. We also calculate the d-d exchange interactions |Jdd| between Mn spins. The largest |Jdd| value is also for Mn atoms on bulklike central sites; in comparison with the experimental d-d exchange constant in bulk Cd0.95Mn0.05Te, it is four times smaller.
I DA CORBETTA: UNA BOTTEGA DI INTAGLIATORI NELLA MILANO DEL CINQUECENTO

description: The thesis focuses on the da Corbetta?s workshop. The members of this family of wooden sculptors, active from the end of fifteenth century untill the end of the sixteenth century, fit into the tradition of classical Lombard woodensculpture of the Renaissance. The most investigated figure is Andrea da Corbetta?s one. He is the author of the statues in the Santuario della Beata Vergine dei Miracolo in Saronno. The study?s purpose is to rediscover the other personalities who worked in the da Corbetta?s workshop, such as Andrea?s father Giovanni Pietro, his uncle Santino, or his cousin Giovanni Battista. From the discoveries made by Vittorio Pini, Elisabetta Bianchi and Rossana Sacchi, a new research was started mostly on the Fondo Notarile of Archivio di Stato di Milano. It was found two hundred and twelve documents, that are transcribed in the second part of the thesis. The new informations allow to draw an accurate family tree of these engravers, and also to delinate precise profiles of each member. At the same time it is possible to understand where the da Corbetta?s workshop was located in the city of Milan and investigate how, in the urban context, they becomed related with others engravers or painters, such as the court-artist Giovanni Angelo Mirofoli da Seregno. At these two points is dedicated the treatment in the thesis, because in litterature there is a a little bit gap about this subject for Milan. In the context that the documents allow to create, the da Corbetta?s workshop emerges as a protagonist: it is confirmed the praise that Paolo Morigia in the Nobilt� di Milano (edited in 1595) tributes to these sculptors.

description: A suspended carbon nanotube can act as a nanoscale resonator with remarkable electromechanical properties and the ability to detect adsorption on its surface at the level of single atoms. Understanding adsorption on nanotubes and other graphitic materials is key to many sensing and storage applications. Here we show that nanotube resonators offer a powerful new means of investigating fundamental aspects of adsorption on carbon, including the collective behaviour of adsorbed matter and its coupling to the substrate electrons. By monitoring the vibrational resonance frequency in the presence of noble gases, we observe the formation of monolayers on the cylindrical surface and phase transitions within these monolayers, and simultaneous modification of the electrical conductance. The monolayer observations also demonstrate the possibility of studying the fundamental behaviour of matter in cylindrical geometry.

EUKARYOTIC ELONGATION FACTOR 2 KINASE DOWNREGULATES VESICLE RELEASE AND GABAERGIC TRANSMISSION BY TRANSLATION CONTROL OF A SUBSET OF PROTEINS

description: eEF2K, also known as CAMKIII, is a highly regulated, ubiquitous kinase involved in the control of protein translation. In neurons, acute changes in eEF2K activity are associated with changes in synaptic proteome and function in vitro and in vivo. However, it is unclear what kind of synaptic proteomic and functional changes result from chronic alterations in eEF2K activity. Here we show that chronic eEF2K activity leads to a downregulation of vesicle release and the GABAergic system both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, we show that eEF2K may be a potential target for the generation of antiepileptic drugs.
