description: The dependence of industrial agricolture on fossil fuels has been assessed in two comparative case studies between Italy (Emilia-Romagna and Piemonte)and Missouri. 
The first is related to dairy farming; 15 different farms were surveyed, divided into three different groups: grain based, pasture based and organic.
The second is devoted to rice cropping; 12 holdings were examined divided into two groups: conventional and organic.
Energy footprint was determined for structures, machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, fuel, electricity, feed and seeds.
Possible scenarios of transition to a more sustainable agricolture based on renewable energy sources were analized in detail for all the farms analized.

description: The van der Waals force established between two surfaces plays a central role in many phenomena, such as adhesion or friction. However, the dependence of this forces on the distance of separation between plates is very complex. Two widely different non-retarded and retarded regimes are well known, but these have been traditionally studied separately. Much less is known about the important experimentally accesible cross-over regime. In this study, we provide analytical approximations for the van der Waals forces between two plates that interpolates exactly between the short distance and long distance behavior, and provides new insight into the crossover from London to Casimir forces at finite temperature. At short distance, where the behavior is dominated by non-retarded interactions, we work out a very accurate simplified approximation for the Hamaker constant which adopts analytical form for both the Drude and Lorentz models of dielectric response. We apply our analytical expressions for the study of forces between metallic plates, and observe very good agreement with exact results from numerical calculations. Our results show that contributions of interband transitions remain important in the experimentally accessible regime of decades nm for several metals, including gold.

description: Stereo camera systems play an important role in robotics applications to perceive the 3D world. However, conventional cameras have drawbacks such as low dynamic range, motion blur and latency due to the underlying frame-based mechanism. Event cameras address these limitations as they report the brightness changes of each pixel independently with a fine temporal resolution, but they are unable to acquire absolute intensity information directly. Although integrated hybrid event-frame sensors (eg., DAVIS) are available, the quality of data is compromised by coupling at the pixel level in the circuit fabrication of such cameras. This paper proposes a stereo hybrid event-frame (SHEF) camera system that offers a sensor modality with separate high-quality pure event and pure frame cameras, overcoming the limitations of each separate sensor and allowing for stereo depth estimation. We provide a SHEF dataset targeted at evaluating disparity estimation algorithms and introduce a stereo disparity estimation algorithm that uses edge information extracted from the event stream correlated with the edge detected in the frame data. Our disparity estimation outperforms the state-of-the-art stereo matching algorithm on the SHEF dataset.

description: Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) has been in the spotlight for the past few years, due to its remarkable abilities to solve problems which were considered to be practically unsolvable using traditional Machine Learning methods. However, even state-of-the-art Deep RL algorithms have various weaknesses that prevent them from being used extensively within industry applications, with one such major weakness being their sample-inefficiency. In an effort to patch these issues, we integrated a meta-learning technique in order to shift the objective of learning to solve a task into the objective of learning how to learn to solve a task (or a set of tasks), which we empirically show that improves overall stability and performance of Deep RL algorithms. Our model, named REIN-2, is a meta-learning scheme formulated within the RL framework, the goal of which is to develop a meta-RL agent (meta-learner) that learns how to produce other RL agents (inner-learners) that are capable of solving given environments. For this task, we convert the typical interaction of an RL agent with the environment into a new, single environment for the meta-learner to interact with. Compared to traditional state-of-the-art Deep RL algorithms, experimental results show remarkable performance of our model in popular OpenAI Gym environments in terms of scoring and sample efficiency, including the Mountain Car hard-exploration environment.

description: The use of collaborative health research approaches, such as integrated knowledge translation (IKT), was challenged during the COVID-19 pandemic due to physical distancing measures and transition to virtual platforms. As IKT trainees (i.e. graduate students, postdoctoral scholars) within the Integrated Knowledge Translation Research Network (IKTRN), we experienced several changes and adaptations to our daily routine, work and research environments due to the rapid transition to virtual platforms. While there was an increased capacity to communicate at local, national and international levels, gaps in equitable access to training and partnership opportunities at universities and organizations have emerged. This essay explores the experiences and reflections of 16 IKTRN trainees during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic at the micro (individual), meso (organizational) and macro (system) levels. The micro level, or individual experiences, focuses on topics of self-care (taking care of oneself for physical and mental well-being), maintaining research activities and productivity, and leisure (social engagement and taking time for oneself), while conducting IKT research during the pandemic. At the meso level, the role of programmes and organizations explores whether and how institutions were able to adapt and continue research and/or partnerships during the pandemic. At the macro level, we discuss implications for policies to support IKT trainees and research, during and beyond emergency situations. Themes were identified that intersected across all levels, which included (i) equitable access to training and partnerships; (ii) capacity for reflexivity; (iii) embracing changing opportunities; and (iv) strengthening collaborative relationships. These intersecting themes represent ways of encouraging sustainable and equitable improvements towards establishing and maintaining collaborative health research approaches. This essay is a summary of our collective experiences and aims to provide suggestions on how organizations and universities can support future trainees conducting collaborative research. Thus, we hope to inform more equitable and sustainable collaborative health research approaches and training in the post-pandemic era.

Measurement of the energy asymmetry in $t\bar{t}j$ production at 13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment and interpretation in the SMEFT framework

description: A measurement of the energy asymmetry in jet-associated top-quark pair production is presented using 139 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The observable measures the different probability of top and antitop quarks to have the higher energy as a function of the jet scattering angle with respect to the beam axis. The energy asymmetry is measured in the semileptonic $t\bar{t}$ decay channel, and the hadronically decaying top quark must have transverse momentum above $350$ GeV. The results are corrected for detector effects to particle level in three bins of the scattering angle of the associated jet. The measurement agrees with the SM prediction at next-to-leading-order accuracy in quantum chromodynamics in all three bins. In the bin with the largest expected asymmetry, where the jet is emitted perpendicular to the beam, the energy asymmetry is measured to be $-0.043\pm0.020$, in agreement with the SM prediction of $-0.037\pm0.003$. Interpreting this result in the framework of the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT), it is shown that the energy asymmetry is sensitive to the top-quark chirality in four-quark operators and is therefore a valuable new observable in global SMEFT fits.

description: Quantum optimal control theory is becoming increasingly crucial as quantum devices become more precise, but the need to quickly optimize these systems classically remains a significant bottleneck in their operation. Here we present a new theoretical quantum control framework for much faster optimization than the state of the art by replacing standard time propagation with a product of short-time propagators, each calculated using the Magnus expansion. The derived formulas for exact series terms and their gradients, based on earlier approximate integrals in a simulation setting, allow us to subsume the high cost of calculating commutators and integrals as an initial overhead. This provides an order of magnitude speedup for quantum control optimization.

      zeitlich und räumlich gut erhoben und betreffs lexikalischer
      und grammatischer Phänomene weitestgehend erforscht sind,
      fristet die Erforschung des Jiddischen und seiner Dialekte
      seit jeher das Dasein einer Randwissenschaft. Quellen
      direkter Erhebungen sind rar, historische Daten längst nicht
      vollends erschlossen, geschweige denn verfügbar gemacht, und
      die verbreitete Besessenheit auf verschiedenste
      Genesetheorien des Jiddischen blockiert oft einen rein
      empirischen Zugang zu den wenigen erhobenen Sprachdaten. Das
      Jiddische und seine Dialekte bieten eine äußerst interessante
      Situation: Jid-disch „was once a vast linguistic continuum,
      the largest European speech area next to Russian“ (Weinreich
      1962: 7). Dabei war es nicht durch politische oder
      geogra-phische Grenzen bestimmt, sondern definierte sich über
      den religionskulturellen Bund der aschkenasischen
      Bevölkerung, der Diasporajuden Zentraleuropas. Jid-disch ist,
      wie alle Diasporasprachen, eine Sprache, die immer im
      Spannungsfeld mit koterritorialen Sprachen steht (vgl. Mieses
      1915). Jiddische Dialektologie heißt damit auch immer
      „bilingual dialectology“ (Weinreich 1962: 7). Diese Arbeit
      wird in einem ersten Teil die zentralen Ergebnisse jiddischer
      Varietätenlinguistik darstellen, um in einem darauffolgenden
      zweiten Teil einen Beitrag zu leisten, mehr über die im
      Berliner Raum gesprochenen jiddischen Varietäten des 19.
      Jahrhunderts in Erfahrung zu bringen. Zu diesem Zweck wird

description: We extend studies of holographic aspects of moduli stabilisation scenarios to both fibred versions of LVS and the type IIA DGKT flux vacua. We study the holographic properties of the low-energy moduli Lagrangian that describes both the AdS vacuum and also small perturbations about it. For type IIA vacua in the large-volume regime, the CFT data (operator dimensions and higher-point interactions) take a universal form independent of the many arbitrary flux choices, as was previously found for LVS stabilisation. For these IIA vacua the conformal dimensions of the dual operators are also, surprisingly, all integers, although we do not understand a deeper reason why this is so. In contrast to behaviour previously found for LVS and KKLT, the fibred models also admit cases of mixed double-trace operators (for two different axion fields) where the anomalous dimension is positive.

description: Research Background: Architect Victoria's guest editors invited Michael Spooner and Peter Knight to write an essay for inclusion in a special issue of the journal on 'The art and artifice of architectural visualisation'. The Cube was as one of eight contributions that sought to examine the state of architectural visualisation in contemporary practice and discourse. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION 'The Cube: an obituary' discussed how the virtual might minister to the profession of architecture without confusing it with the contemporary digital fascinations. It approached the cube - a trope of modernism - through a consideration of Charles Hintons' 'fourth dimension' and the cubes initial articulation as one of the first considerations of the geometry of the virtual. The essay traced a line across the historical condition of a virtual cubic space - Quad by Samuel Beckett, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's Fase dance work, Big Data visualisation - and offered as a conclusion the work of Jo-Han Seah. The essay insisted that an ever expanding consideration of meaning was the domain of the virtual. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE Architect Victoria is the journal of the Australian Institute of Architect Victorian Chapter. It is the only journal to consider specifically the discourse on architecture in the state of Victoria. It is a direct form of communication to all members of the professional institute. Every edition of the journal is given over to a guest editorial panel who petition members of the profession to articulate a position within the curated framework. The journal was guest edited by Anna Jeffery (Architect & Chair of the Victorian Chapter Editorial Committee) & James Staughton (Architect & director Workshop Architecture).
Modelling wave propagation in elastic solids via high-order accurate implicit-mesh discontinuous Galerkin methods

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: A high-order accurate implicit-mesh discontinuous Galerkin framework for wave propagation in single-phase and bi-phase solids is presented. The framework belongs to the embedded-boundary techniques and its novelty regards the spatial discretization, which enables boundary and interface conditions to be enforced with high-order accuracy on curved embedded geometries. High-order accuracy is achieved via high-order quadrature rules for implicitly-defined domains and boundaries, whilst a cell-merging strategy addresses the presence of small cut cells. The framework is used to discretize the governing equations of elastodynamics, written using a first-order hyperbolic momentum-strain formulation, and an exact Riemann solver is employed to compute the numerical flux at the interface between dissimilar materials with general anisotropic properties. The space-discretized equations are then advanced in time using explicit high-order Runge-Kutta algorithms. Several two- and three-dimensional numerical tests including dynamic adaptive mesh refinement are presented to demonstrate the high-order accuracy and the capability of the method in the elastodynamic analysis of single- and bi-phases solids containing complex geometries.

description: Biopolymers-based composite edible films are gaining interest in the food packaging industry due to their sustainable nature and diverse biological activities. In the current study, we used sodium alginate (SA) and casein (CA) for the fabrication of composite film using the casting method. We also added orange oil to the edible film and assessed its impact on the biological, chemical, physical, and barrier properties of the films. The fabricated films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was observed that CA–SA films loaded with 1.5% OEO had better visual attributes, and a further increase in oil concentration was not found to be as favorable. Mechanical assessment of the films revealed that CA–SA-OEO (1.5%) film showed lower puncture deformation and higher puncture force values. XRD data showed that all samples exhibited peaks at similar positions (21° of 2θ) with different intensities. In FTIR analysis, characteristic peaks of the film components (sodium alginate, casein, and orange oil) were reported at corresponding positions. The thermal stability of films was enhanced after the addition of the OEO (1.5%), however, a greater increase in OEO caused a decrease in the thermal stability, observed during TGA analysis. Moreover, the surface of the blank CA–SA film (FL1) was found to be rough (with cracks) compared to CA–SA films (FL2) containing 1.5% OEO. Additionally, FL2 was found to be relatively better than the other samples in terms of swelling degree (SD), thickness, water solubility (WS), oxygen permeability (OP), water vapor permeability (WVP), moisture content (MC), and transparency (T).

description: Starting from a general material system of $N$ particles coupled to a cavity, we use a coherent-state path integral formulation to produce a non-perturbative effective theory for the material degrees of freedom. We tackle the effects of image charges, the $A^2$ term and a multimode arbitrary-geometry cavity. The resulting (non-local) action has the photonic degrees of freedom replaced by an effective position-dependent interaction between the particles. In the large-$N$ limit, we discuss how the theory can be cast into an effective Hamiltonian where the cavity induced interactions are made explicit. The theory is applicable, beyond cavity QED, to any system where bulk material is linearly coupled to a diagonalizable bosonic bath. We highlight the differences of the theory with other well-known methods and numerically study its finite-size scaling on the Dicke model. Finally, we showcase its descriptive power with three examples: photon condensation, the 2D free electron gas in a cavity and the modification of magnetic interactions between molecular spins; recovering, condensing and extending some recent results in the literature.

description: 3D shape representation and its processing have substantial effects on 3D shape recognition. The polygon mesh as a 3D shape representation has many advantages in computer graphics and geometry processing. However, there are still some challenges for the existing deep neural network (DNN)-based methods on polygon mesh representation, such as handling the variations in the degree and permutations of the vertices and their pairwise distances. To overcome these challenges, we propose a DNN-based method (PolyNet) and a specific polygon mesh representation (PolyShape) with a multi-resolution structure. PolyNet contains two operations; (1) a polynomial convolution (PolyConv) operation with learnable coefficients, which learns continuous distributions as the convolutional filters to share the weights across different vertices, and (2) a polygonal pooling (PolyPool) procedure by utilizing the multi-resolution structure of PolyShape to aggregate the features in a much lower dimension. Our experiments demonstrate the strength and the advantages of PolyNet on both 3D shape classification and retrieval tasks compared to existing polygon mesh-based methods and its superiority in classifying graph representations of images.

description: Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) made of ultra-light bosonic particles is a viable alternative to cold dark matter (CDM) with clearly distinguishable small-scale features in collapsed structures. On large scales, it behaves gravitationally like CDM deviating only by a cut-off in the initial power spectrum and can be studied using N-body methods. In contrast, wave interference effects near the de Broglie scale result in new phenomena unique to FDM. Interfering modes in filaments and halos yield a stochastically oscillating granular structure which condenses into solitonic cores during halo formation. Investigating these highly non-linear wave phenomena requires the spatially resolved numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation. In previous papers we introduced a hybrid zoom-in scheme that combines N-body methods to model the large-scale gravitational potential around and the mass accretion onto pre-selected halos with simulations of the Schrödinger-Poisson equation to capture wave-like effects inside these halos. In this work, we present a new, substantially improved reconstruction method for the wave function inside of previously collapsed structures. We demonstrate its capabilities with a deep zoom-in simulation of a well-studied sub-$L_\ast$-sized galactic halo from cosmological intitial conditions. With a particle mass of $m = 2.5\times 10^{-22}\,$eV and halo mass $M_{\text{vir}}=1.7\times 10^{11}\,M_{\odot}$ in a ($60$h${^{-1}}$ comoving Mpc)${}^{3}$ cosmological box, it reaches an effective resolution of 20 comoving pc. This pushes the values of $m$ and $M$ accessible to simulations significantly closer to those relevant for studying galaxy evolution in the allowed range of FDM masses.

description: We study the transport properties of charge carriers in phosphorene with a mass term through double barriers. The solutions of the energy spectrum are obtained and the dependence of the eigenvalues on the barrier potentials and wave vectors in the $x$-direction is numerically computed. Using the boundary conditions together with the matrix transfer method, we determine transmission and the conductance of our system. These two quantities are analyzed by studying their main characteristics as a function of the physical parameters along the armchair direction. Our results show the highly anisotropic character of phosphorene and the no signature of Klein tunneling at normal incidence contrary to graphene. Moreover, it is found that the transmission and conductance display oscillatory behaviors in terms of the barrier width under suitable conditions.

Essays in policy evaluation
Creators: name: De Angelis, Ilaria <1985>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2015
Subjects: SECS-P/05 Econometria

description: This dissertation consists of three empirical studies that aim at providing new evidence in the field of public policy evaluation. In particular, the first two chapters focus on the effects of the European cohesion policy, while the third chapter assesses the effectiveness of Italian labour market incentives  in reducing long-term unemployment.
The first study analyses the effect of EU funds on life satisfaction across European regions , under the assumption that projects financed by structural funds in the fields of employment, education, health and environment may affect the overall quality of life in recipient regions. Using regional data from the European Social Survey in 2002-2006, it resorts to a regression discontinuity design, where the discontinuity is provided by the institutional framework of the policy.
The second study aims at estimating the impact of large transfers from a centralized authority to a local administration on the incidence of white collar crimes. It merges a unique dataset on crimes committed in Italian municipalities between 2007 and 2011 with information on the disbursement of EU structural funds in 2007-2013 programming period, employing an instrumental variable estimation strategy that exploits the variation in the electoral cycle at local level.
The third study analyses the impact of an Italian labour market policy that allowed firms to cut their labour costs on open-ended job contracts when hiring long-term unemployed workers. It takes advantage of a unique dataset that draws information from the unemployment lists in Veneto region and it resorts to a regression discontinuity approach to estimate the effect of the policy on the job finding rate of long-term unemployed workers.
Revoicing the Striated Soundscape: 8-channel conference performance
Creators: name: Lacey, Jordan

Subjects: classificationCode: 330102
subject: Architectural design

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND:'Revoicing the Striated Soundscape' was developed specifically for performance at the Australasian Computer Music Composition. It was installed as a multichannel performance across 8 speakers for a live audience.Drawing from a previous research project (of the same name), this iteration specifically studied the details of sound design in a concert setting: it mixed real soundscapes and designed sounds via an automated computer system, to create a sonic experience and listening context specific to the event. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: This project addresses a field of sound art research that turns field recordings into arranged soundscape compositions for playback as a means to disseminate new knowledge and understandings of particular sound environments. This work was unique as the electroacoustic composition was based on site-specific field recordings of Melbourne's urban laneway including air-conditioners, rubbish bins and doors opening/closing. New knowledge was produced by demonsrating that raw urban field recordings can present themselves musically in a concert performance context. This project is part of Jordan's ongoing research at the interface of the sonic arts and urban design. His practice-based research explores artistic and conceptual developments in the field of sound studies. He applies these developments to urban design innovations. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The Australasian Computer Music Conference is an important annual event that brings together composers, performers, researchers and technologists. Lacey's project received independent review through the conference application process. In addition to his performance of the work at the event, an abstract for the project was published in the proceedings.

description: This doctorate was funded by the Regione Emilia Romagna, within a Spinner PhD project coordinated by the University of Parma, and involving the universities of Bologna, Ferrara and Modena.
The aim of the project was:
-	Production of polymorphs, solvates, hydrates and co-crystals of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals with green chemistry methods;
-	Optimization of molecular and crystalline forms of APIs and pesticides in relation to activity, bioavailability and patentability.
In the last decades, a growing interest in the solid-state properties of drugs in addition to their solution chemistry has blossomed. The achievement of the desired and/or the more stable polymorph during the production process can be a challenge for the industry. The study of crystalline forms could be a valuable step to produce new polymorphs and/or co-crystals with better physical-chemical properties such as solubility, permeability, thermal stability, habit, bulk density, compressibility, friability, hygroscopicity and dissolution rate in order to have potential industrial applications. 
Selected APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) were studied and their relationship between crystal structure and properties investigated, both in the solid state and in solution. Polymorph screening and synthesis of solvates and molecular/ionic co-crystals were performed according to green chemistry principles. Part of this project was developed in collaboration with chemical/pharmaceutical companies such as BASF (Germany) and UCB (Belgium). We focused on on the optimization of conditions and parameters of crystallization processes (additives, concentration, temperature), and on the synthesis and characterization of ionic co-crystals.
Moreover, during a four-months research period in the laboratories of Professor Nair Rodriguez-Hormedo (University of Michigan), the stability in aqueous solution at the equilibrium of ionic co-crystals (ICCs) of the API piracetam was investigated, to understand the relationship between their solid-state and solution properties, in view of future design of new crystalline drugs with predefined solid and solution properties.

description: Searching for departures from general relativity (GR) in more than one post-Newtonian (PN) phasing coefficients, called a \emph{multi-parameter test}, is known to be ineffective given the sensitivity of the present generation of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. Strong degeneracies in the parameter space make the outcome of the test uninformative. We argue that Principal Component Analysis (PCA) can remedy this problem by constructing certain linear combinations of the original PN parameters that are better constrained by gravitational-wave observations. By analyzing binary black hole events detected during the first and second observing runs (O1 and O2) of LIGO/Virgo, we show that the two dominant principal components can capture the essence of a multi-parameter test. Combining five binary black hole mergers during O1/O2, we find that the dominant linear combination of the PN coefficients obtained from PCA is consistent with GR within the 0.38 standard deviation of the posterior distribution. Furthermore, using a set of simulated \emph{non-GR} signals in the three-detector LIGO-Virgo network with designed sensitivities, we find that the method is capable of excluding GR with high confidence as well as recovering the injected values of the non-GR parameters with good precision.

description: Maximising the information that can be extracted from weak lensing measurements is a key goal for upcoming surveys such as LSST and Euclid. This is typically achieved through statistics that are complementary to the cosmic shear two-point correlation function, the most well established of which is the weak lensing peak abundance. In this work, we study the clustering of weak lensing peaks, and present parameter constraint forecasts for an LSST-like survey. We use the cosmoslics $w$CDM simulations to measure the peak two-point correlation function for a range of cosmological parameters, and use the simulation data to train a Gaussian process regression emulator which is applied to generate likelihood contours and provide parameter constraint forecasts from mock observations. We investigate the dependence of the peak two-point correlation function on the peak height, and find that the clustering of low amplitude peaks is complementary to that of high amplitude peaks. Consequently, their combination gives significantly tighter constraints than the clustering of high peaks alone. The peak two-point correlation function is significantly more sensitive to the cosmological parameters $h$ and $w_0$ than the peak abundance, and when the probes are combined, constraints on $Ω_{\rm m}$, $S_8$, $h$ and $w_0$ improve by at least a factor of two, relative to the peak abundance alone. Finally, we compare the forecasts for weak lensing peaks and weak lensing voids, and show that the two are also complementary; both probes can offer better constraints on $S_8$ and $w_0$ than the shear correlation function by roughly a factor of two.
