description: We adapt and refine methods developed by Abramenko and Devillers--Köhl--Mühlherr in order to establish the sphericity of the Phan geometries of type B_n and C_n, and their generalizations. As an application we determine the finiteness length of the unitary form of certain hyperbolic Kac--Moody groups. We also reproduce the finiteness length of the unitary form of the groups Sp_{2n}(GF(q^2)[t,t^{-1}]). Another application is the first published proof of the Phan-type theorem of type F_4. Within the revision of the classification of the finite simple groups this concludes the revision of Phan's theorems and their extension to the non-simply laced diagrams. We also reproduce the Phan-type theorems of types B_n and C_n.
Mathematical model of primary food web energetics in Howe Sound, British Columbia
Creators: name: Buchanan, Douglas Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Same of the philosophical aspects of modelling are discussed along with the importance of understanding primary marine food-web components. Howe Sound, a coastal embayment on the British Columbia coast, is examined as a base study area, and field sampling methods as well as laboratory techniques are summarized. The main body of the investigation involves the development of a mathematical description of phytoplankton population growth and distribution as a function of biological and physical circulation parameters in the sound. This is accomplished by dividing the sound into zones and modelling primary productivity as a result of certain key environmental forcing functions. Transport between zones is shown to affect spatial timing and distribution. Observed and predicted values of nutrients, temperature, extinction coefficients, zooplankton biomass, and phytoplankton productivity and biomass are compared as the model is refined. It is then used to simulate the effects of a delayed spring on productivity in Howe Sound, as well as to model growth in Indian /Arm, an adjacent embayment. Simulated annual productivity in Have Sound is 235, 316 and 384 gC‧m⁻²‧yr⁻¹ in the down inlet direction for the three model zones. With a delayed spring the values are reduced to 200, 308 and gC‧m⁻²‧yr⁻¹ and comparisons are made with observed data in Howe Sound in 1974 when poor spring weather conditions prevailed. In Indian Arm the model predicts a spatial productivity distribution of 318, 256 and 239 gC‧m⁻²‧yr⁻¹, values which agree with field observations of two workers. The general applicability of such models to complex ecosystems is discussed.

Essays in Applied Health Economics: Evidence on Health and
Health Care in Italy and UK

Subjects: SECS-P/03 Scienza delle finanze

description: This thesis is the result of my experience as a PhD student taking part in the Joint Doctoral Programme at the University of York and the University of Bologna. In my
thesis I deal with topics that are of particular interest in Italy and in Great Britain.
Chapter 2 focuses on the empirical test of the existence of the relationship between technological profiles and market structure claimed by Sutton’s theory (1991, 1998) in
the specific economic framework of hospital care services provided by the Italian National Health Service (NHS). In order to test the empirical predictions by Sutton, we
identify the relevant markets for hospital care services in Italy in terms of both product and geographic dimensions. In particular, the Elzinga and Hogarty (1978) approach has
been applied to data on patients’ flows across Italian Provinces in order to derive the geographic dimension of each market. Our results provide evidence in favour of the
empirical predictions of Sutton.
Chapter 3 deals with the patient mobility in the Italian NHS. To analyse the determinants of patient mobility across Local Health Authorities, we estimate gravity equations in multiplicative form using a Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood method, as proposed by Santos-Silva and Tenreyro (2006). In particular, we focus on the scale effect
played by the size of the pool of enrolees. In most of the cases our results are consistent with the predictions of the gravity model.
Chapter 4 considers the effects of contractual and working conditions on selfassessed health and psychological well-being (derived from the General Health Questionnaire) using the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). We consider two
branches of the literature. One suggests that “atypical” contractual conditions have a significant impact on health while the other suggests that health is damaged by adverse
working conditions. The main objective of our paper is to combine the two branches of the literature to assess the distinct effects of contractual and working conditions on health.
The results suggest that both sets of conditions have some influence on health and psychological well-being of employees.

description: The Gaussian formula and spherical aberrations of the static and relativistic curved mirrors are analyzed using the optical path length (OPL) and Fermat's principle. The geometrical figures generated by the rotation of conic sections about their symmetry axes are considered for the shapes of the mirrors. By comparing the results in static and relativistic cases, it is shown that the focal lengths and the spherical aberration relations of the relativistic mirrors obey the Lorentz contraction. Further analysis of the spherical aberrations for both static and relativistic cases have resulted in the information about the limits for the paraxial approximation, as well as for the minimum speed of the systems to reduce the spherical aberrations.

description: We prove that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (DtN) has no spectrum in the lower half of the complex plane. We find several application of this fact in scattering by obstacles with impedance boundary conditions. In particular, we find an upper bound for the gradient of the scattering amplitude and for the total cross section. We justify numerical approximations by providing bounds on difference between theoretical and approximated solutions without using any a priory unknown constants.

description: We consider the energy savings that can be obtained by employing network coding instead of plain routing in wireless multiple unicast problems. We establish lower bounds on the benefit of network coding, defined as the maximum of the ratio of the minimum energy required by routing and network coding solutions, where the maximum is over all configurations. It is shown that if coding and routing solutions are using the same transmission range, the benefit in $d$-dimensional networks is at least $2d/\lfloor\sqrt{d}\rfloor$. Moreover, it is shown that if the transmission range can be optimized for routing and coding individually, the benefit in 2-dimensional networks is at least 3. Our results imply that codes following a \emph{decode-and-recombine} strategy are not always optimal regarding energy efficiency.

Precision horticulture: application on apple orchards

Subjects: AGR/03 Arboricoltura generale e coltivazioni arboree

description: Precision horticulture and spatial analysis applied to orchards are a growing and evolving part of  precision agriculture technology. The aim of this discipline is to reduce production costs by monitoring and analysing orchard-derived information to improve crop performance in an environmentally sound manner. Georeferencing and geostatistical analysis coupled to point-specific data mining allow to devise and implement management decisions tailored within the single orchard. Potential applications range from the opportunity to verify in real time along the season the effectiveness of cultural practices to achieve the production targets in terms of fruit size, number, yield and, in a near future, fruit quality traits. These data will impact not only the pre-harvest but their effect will extend to the post-harvest sector of the fruit chain. Chapter 1 provides an updated overview on precision horticulture , while in Chapter 2 a preliminary spatial statistic analysis of the variability in apple orchards is provided before and after manual thinning; an interpretation of this variability and how it can be managed to maximize orchard performance is offered. Then in Chapter 3 a stratification of spatial data into management classes to interpret and manage spatial variation on the orchard is undertaken. An inverse model approach is also applied to verify whether the crop production explains environmental variation. In Chapter 4 an integration of the techniques adopted before is presented. A new key for reading the information gathered within the field is offered.
The overall goal of this Dissertation was to probe into the feasibility, the desirability and the effectiveness of a precision approach to fruit growing, following the lines of other areas of agriculture that already adopt this management tool. As existing applications of precision horticulture already had shown, crop specificity is an important factor to be accounted for. This work focused on apple because of its importance in the area where the work was carried out, and worldwide.

description: Os festivais desempenham um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento do turismo de uma região. Eles são, em alguns casos, a chave motivadora para a prática do turismo e oferecem também ao ser humano oportunidades para aprender sobre outros costumes ou modos de vida. As motivações para participar num festival variam de acordo com as regiões visitadas, a tipologia dos turistas, as variáveis sociodemográficas e culturais. O presente artigo pretende identificar as duas principais motivações dos turistas para participarem na Festa do Vinho da Ilha da Madeira. Para atingir o objetivo optou-se pela aplicação de um inquérito por questionário através de uma amostra por conveniência. Os resultados mostraram que as duas principais motivações para os turistas visitarem o evento, pela primeira vez, estavam associadas ao ‘conhecimento e experimentação pela cultura da festa’ e, ainda, à ‘diversão’. Na visita repetida, as duas principais motivações estavam relacionadas com as ‘atrações da festa’ e ao ‘ambiente da festa’.

We use MC data to illustrate the comparison between the parton shower generated by the standard DGLAP-CS kernels and that generated by the new IR-improved DGLAP-CS kernels. The interface to MC@NLO, MC@NLO/HERWIRI, is illustrated. Comparisons with FNAL data and some discussion of possible implications for LHC phenomenology are also presented.

description: We are interested in the phonon response in the frustrated magnets SrCr$_{9x}$Ga$_{12-9x}$O$_{19}$ (SCGO) and Ba$_{2}$Sn$_{2}$ZnCr$_{7x}$Ga$_{10-7x}$O$_{22}$ (BSZCGO). The motivation of the study is the recently discovered, phonon-driven, magnetic relaxation in the SCGO compound [Mutka et al. PRL {\bf 97} 047203 (2006)] pointing out the importance of a low-energy ($\hbarω\sim$7 meV) phonon mode. In neutron scattering experiments on these compounds the phonon signal is partly masked by the magnetic signal from the Cr moments and we have therefore examined in detail the non-magnetic isostructural counterparts SrGa$_{12}$O$_{19}$ (SGO) and Ba$_{2}$Sn$_{2}$ZnGa$_{10}$O$_{22}$ (BSZGO). Our {\it ab-initio} lattice dynamics calculations on SGO reveal a peak in the vibrational density of states matching with the neutron observations on SGO and SCGO. A strong contribution in the vibrational density of states comes from the partial contribution of the Ga atoms on the 2b and 12k sites, involving modes at the M--point of the hexagonal system. These modes comprise dynamics of the kagomé planes of the pyrochlore slab magnetic sub-lattice, 12k sites, and therefore can drive magnetic relaxation via spin-phonon coupling. Both BSZCGO and BSZGO show a similar low-energy Raman peak but no corresponding peak in the neutron determined density of states of BSZGO is seen. However, a strong non-Debye enhancement of low-energy phonon response is observed. We attribute this particular feature to the Zn/Ga disorder on the 2$d$ -site, already evoked earlier to affect the magnetic properties of BSZCGO. We propose that this disorder-induced phonon response explains the absence of a characteristic energy scale and the much faster magnetic relaxation observed in BSZCGO.

Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes: Influence of Proto- and Tanner-Graph Structure on Minimum Hamming Distance Upper Bounds

description: Quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are an important instance of proto-graph-based LDPC codes. In this paper we present upper bounds on the minimum Hamming distance of QC LDPC codes and study how these upper bounds depend on graph structure parameters (like variable degrees, check node degrees, girth) of the Tanner graph and of the underlying proto-graph. Moreover, for several classes of proto-graphs we present explicit QC LDPC code constructions that achieve (or come close to) the respective minimum Hamming distance upper bounds. Because of the tight algebraic connection between QC codes and convolutional codes, we can state similar results for the free Hamming distance of convolutional codes. In fact, some QC code statements are established by first proving the corresponding convolutional code statements and then using a result by Tanner that says that the minimum Hamming distance of a QC code is upper bounded by the free Hamming distance of the convolutional code that is obtained by "unwrapping" the QC code.
description: To appear in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. Changes compared to v1: some convolutional code results have been added; some incompleteness issues with some of the proofs have been corrected; a typo in one of the parity-check matrices has been corrected (i.e., an entry of H"(x) in Example 28 of v1 needs to be changed so that d_min=56 as written there, cf. \hat H(x) in Example 29 of v2)
Non invasive assessment of right ventricle  in patients with operated tetralogy of Fallot
Creators: name: Hasan, Tammam <1978>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2012
Subjects: MED/11 Malattie dell'apparato cardiovascolare

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate right ventricular function in patients with right ventricular volume overload  in patients with (tetralogy of Fallot, and pulmonary atresia + VSD ) underwent corrective surgery;  with echocardiography measure that can be easily applied; and  to study the relationship between ProBNP and the contractile function of the right ventricle, dilated right atrium, and the consequences of pulmonary insufficiency . 
Methods: The study included 50 patients (50% males, mean age 30.64 ± 13.30 years) with prior cardiac surgical intervention of TDF (90%) or pulmonary atresia + VSD (10%). (49 pz) have performed a cardiac MRI and clinical evaluation, (47 pz) echocardiogram, (48 pz) ECG, (34 pz) a cardiopulmonary exercise testing, (29 pz) a dosage of ProBNP.
Results:
The S-wave velocity (p <0.0001), the TAPSE (p <0.0001) correlated significantly with RVEF estimated by cardiac MRI. The VO2 max was 27.93 ± 12.91 ml / kg / min, 15% of patients had VE/VCO2 The peak> 35. ProBNP correlated positively and significantly with the area of the right atrium (p = 0.0001), and negative and significant with VO2 max (p = 0.04). Those who have increased pulmonary insufficiency (PVR fraction> 30%) have a significantly increased RVED volume  (p = 0.01), reduced VO2 max (p = 0.04), and lower ejection fraction of LV (p = 0.02) than the group of patients with PVR ≤ 30.
Conclusion:
The TAPSE and S-wave velocity  are fundamental and may become the technique of choice for routine assessment of RV systolic function in adult patients with TOF. The monitoring of the Pro BNP is probably a choice, given the simplicity and their information that correlate with the test cardiopulmonary. In view of the ventricular-ventricular interaction, so measures to maintain or restore the functioning of the pulmonary valve could preserve biventricular function.

A simple mean field analysis yields a temperature-dependent hybridised band structure with suppressed carrier weight at the Fermi level. Spin stiffness is complex, indicating unusually strong spin wave damping. Experimental and theoretical investigations are needed to further verify the relevance of the proposed model.

description: We present a lattice analysis of the light pseudoscalar mesons with consideration for the mixing between the flavour-neutral states $\pi^0$, $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$. We extract the masses and flavour compositions of the pseudoscalar meson nonet in $n_f=1+1+1$ lattice QCD+QED around an SU(3)-flavour symmetric point, and observe flavour-symmetry features of the extracted data, along with preliminary extrapolation results for the flavour compositions at physical pion mass via a novel method. A key result of this work is the observed mass splitting between the $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ on our ensembles, which is found to exhibit behaviour that is simply related to the corresponding flavour compositions.
Dynamical Constraints on the Origin of Main Belt Comets

description: In an effort to understand the origin of the Main Belt Comets (MBCs) 7968 Elst-Pizzaro, 118401, and P/2005 U1, the dynamics of these three icy asteroids and a large number of hypothetical MBCs were studied. Results of extensive numerical integrations of these objects suggest that these MBCs were formed in-place through the collisional break up of a larger precursor body. Simulations point specifically to the Themis family of asteroids as the origin of these objects and rule out the possibility of a cometary origin (i.e. inward scattering of comets from outer solar system and their primordial capture in the asteroid belt). Results also indicate that while 7968 Elst-Pizzaro and 118401 maintain their orbits for 1 Gyr, P/2005 U1 diffuses chaotically in eccentricity and becomes unstable in ~20 Myr. The latter suggest that this MBC used to be a member of the Themis family and is now escaping away. Numerical integrations of the orbits of hypothetical MBCs in the vicinity of the Themis family show a clustering of stable orbits (with eccentricities smaller than 0.2 and inclinations less than 25 deg.) suggesting that many more MBCs may exist in the vicinity of this family (although they might have not been activated yet). The details of the results of simulations and the constraints on the models of the formation and origins of MBCs are presented, and their implications for the detection of more of these objects are discussed.

description: Tem-se verificado publicamente no panorama internacional, tanto ao nível académico como no setor empresarial, assim como nas agendas governamentais de diferentes países, a atribuição de uma maior notoriedade a questões relacionadas com a possível articulação entre o turismo e o património. Este fenómeno revela, de forma aparente, o interesse em aprofundar e validar transversalmente as possibilidades e limites desta relação, potenciando-a, de forma sustentável, económica e social eficiente, para benefício das comunidades, das organizações e dos territórios. Assim, verifica-se como pertinente compreender e classificar o nível desta relação, quer pelo lado do setor do turismo, quer pelo lado do setor do património. Neste estudo, discute-se a emergência e a afirmação de novos produtos turísticos desenvolvidos e operacionalizados com base na aplicação do património material e imaterial, destacando, como estudo de caso, o turismo militar. Para tal, serão teoricamente aprofundadas questões relativas ao tema proposto, com enfoque no caso da ativação turística do património, e quais as suas implicações na estratégia turística nacional.

description: We present calculations showing that upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments will have the power to improve on current constraints on neutrino masses and provide new limits on neutrino degeneracy parameters. The latter could surpass those derived from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the observationally-inferred primordial helium abundance. These conclusions derive from our Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulations which incorporate a full BBN nuclear reaction network. This provides a self-consistent treatment of the helium abundance, the baryon number, the three individual neutrino degeneracy parameters and other cosmological parameters. Our analysis focuses on the effects of gravitational lensing on CMB constraints on neutrino rest mass and degeneracy parameter. We find for the PLANCK experiment that total (summed) neutrino mass $M_ν > 0.29$ eV could be ruled out at $2σ$ or better. Likewise neutrino degeneracy parameters $ξ_{ν_{e}} > 0.11$ and $| ξ_{ν_{μ/τ}} | > 0.49$ could be detected or ruled out at $2σ$ confidence, or better. For POLARBEAR we find that the corresponding detectable values are $M_ν> 0.75 {\rm eV}$, $ξ_{ν_{e}} > 0.62$, and $| ξ_{ν_{μ/τ}}| > 1.1$, while for EPIC we obtain $M_ν> 0.20 {\rm eV}$, $ξ_{ν_{e}} > 0.045$, and $|ξ_{ν_{μ/τ}}| > 0.29$. Our forcast for EPIC demonstrates that CMB observations have the potential to set constraints on neutrino degeneracy parameters which are better than BBN-derived limits and an order of magnitude better than current WMAP-derived limits.

description: We study the basic ergodic properties (ergodicity and conservativity) of the action of an arbitrary subgroup $H$ of a free group $F$ on the boundary $\partial F$ with respect to the uniform measure. Our approach is geometrical and combinatorial, and it is based on choosing a system of Nielsen--Schreier generators in $H$ associated with a geodesic spanning tree in the Schreier graph $X=H\backslash F$. We give several (mod 0) equivalent descriptions of the Hopf decomposition of the boundary into the conservative and the dissipative parts. Further we relate conservativity and dissipativity of the action with the growth of the Schreier graph $X$ and of the subgroup $H$ ($\equiv$ cogrowth of $X$), respectively. We also construct numerous examples illustrating connections between various relevant notions.

description: Mass transfer is the net movement of mass from one location (usually meaning stream, phase, fraction or component) to another. Mass transfer occurs in many processes, such as absorption, evaporation, drying, precipitation, membrane filtration, and distillation. Mass transfer is used by different scientific disciplines for different processes and mechanisms. The phrase is commonly used in engineering for physical processes that involve diffusive and convective transport of chemical species within physical systems. Mass transfer finds extensive application in chemical engineering problems. It is used in reaction engineering, separations engineering, heat transfer engineering, and many other sub-disciplines of chemical engineering like electrochemical engineering. The driving force for mass transfer is usually a difference in chemical potential, when it can be defined, though other thermodynamic gradients may couple to the flow of mass and drive it as well. A chemical species moves from areas of high chemical potential to areas of low chemical potential. Thus, the maximum theoretical extent of a given mass transfer is typically determined by the point at which the chemical potential is uniform. For single phase-systems, this usually translates to uniform concentration throughout the phase, while for multiphase systems chemical species will often prefer one phase over the others and reach a uniform chemical potential only when most of the chemical species has been absorbed into the preferred phase, as in liquid-liquid extraction. While thermodynamic equilibrium determines the theoretical extent of a given mass transfer operation, the actual rate of mass transfer will depend on additional factors including the flow patterns within the system and the diffusivities of the species in each phase. This rate can be quantified through the calculation and application of mass transfer coefficients for an overall process. These mass transfer coefficients are typically published in terms of dimensionless numbers, often including Péclet numbers, Reynolds numbers, Sherwood numbers and Schmidt numbers, among others.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Entanglement in the Rest-Frame Instant Form of Dynamics

description: A new formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is proposed in the framework of the rest-frame instant form of dynamics with its instantaneous Wigner 3-spaces and with its description of the particle world-lines by means of derived non-canonical predictive coordinates. In it we quantize the frozen Jacobi data of the non-local 4-center of mass and the Wigner-covariant relative variables in an abstract (frame-independent) internal space whose existence is implied by Wigner-covariance. The formalism takes care of the properties of both relativistic bound states and scattering ones. There is a natural solution to the \textit{relativistic localization problem}. The non-relativistic limit leads to standard quantum mechanics but with a frozen Hamilton-Jacobi description of the center of mass. Due to the \textit{non-locality} of the Poincaré generators the resulting theory of relativistic entanglement is both \textit{kinematically non-local and spatially non-separable}: these properties, absent in the non-relativistic limit, throw a different light on the interpretation of the non-relativistic quantum non-locality and of its impact on foundational problems.

title:  Understanding the effects of age, environmental conditions, and placement on cockroach gel bait performance

description: Cockroach baits are one of the most effective tools used for German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) control. This is due in part to the number of cockroach baits on the market with various matrix compositions and active ingredients, aiding in the control of resistant (physiologically and behaviorally) cockroach populations through bait rotation. However, it remains unclear how cockroach gel baits perform over time and under different environmental conditions. Therefore, we aged six cockroach gel baits for varying times (24 hours, one month, three months, six months) and at three relative humidities (15%, 40%, and 80%), and tested their performance (consumption and efficacy) against fresh baits. German cockroaches consumed various quantities of bait depending upon both bait product and age, with significant declines in aged bait consumption compared to fresh bait consumption for most products tested. However, all baits aged for over 24 hours caused greater than 93% mortality in all Blattella germanica (L.) populations. Low relative humidity (15%) did not significantly affect bait consumption or efficacy compared to standard relative humidity (40%), but high humidity (80%) resulted in excessive mold growth (Mucoraceae) in all trials, preventing testing of aged baits at high humidity. Our findings show that cockroach gel baits remain palatable and effective up to six months after application at 40% and 15% relative humidity. Secondly, we investigated the affect bait placement has on bait performance by applying cockroach gel baits (Maxforce FC Magnum gel bait and Advion Cockroach gel bait) onto glue traps and placed them at various distance (30 cm and 8 cm) from the harborage and arena walls in still air semi-field like arenas, to test their detectability on a field population of B. Germanica (L.). Laboratory results found that German cockroaches couldn’t detect bait when placed at 8 cm or farther from the harborage and arena walls. However, when investigating the impact of starvation with water deprivation and population crowding on bait detection, we discovered they resulted in significantly greater trap catch than the previous experiments. These results indicate that bait encounters are driven by foraging, not attraction.

Numerical properties of isotrivial fibrations

description: In this paper we investigate the numerical properties of relatively minimal isotrivial fibrations $φ\colon X \lr C$, where $X$ is a smooth, projective surface and $C$ is a curve. In particular we prove that, if $g(C) \geq 1$ and $X$ is neither ruled nor isomorphic to a quasi-bundle, then $K_X^2 \leq 8 χ(\mO_X)-2$; this inequality is sharp and if equality holds then $X$ is a minimal surface of general type whose canonical model has precisely two ordinary double points as singularities. Under the further assumption that $K_X$ is ample, we obtain $K_X^2 \leq 8 χ(\mO_X)-5$ and the inequality is also sharp. This improves previous results of Serrano and Tan.

description: We use analytical bootstrap techniques to study supersymmetric monodromy defects in the critical Wess-Zumino model. In preparation for our main result we first study two related systems which are interesting on their own: general monodromy defects (no susy), and the $\varepsilon$-expansion bootstrap for the Wess-Zumino model (no defects). For general monodromy defects we discuss some subtleties specific to the codimension two case. In particular, conformal blocks and the Lorentzian inversion formula have to be slightly modified in order to accommodate odd-spin operators that can have a non-zero one-point function. In the Wess-Zumino model we initiate the $\varepsilon$-expansion bootstrap for four-point functions of chiral operators, with the goal of obtaining spectral information about the bulk theory. We then proceed to tackle the harder technical problem of analyzing monodromy defects in the presence of supersymmetry. We use inversion formula technology and spectral data coming from our four-point function analysis, in order to completely bootstrap two-point functions of chiral operators at leading order in $\varepsilon$. Our result can be written in terms of novel special functions which we analyze in detail, and allows us to efficiently extract the CFT data that characterizes the correlator.
