description: La presente tesi di dottorato si propone lo sviluppo di un modello spazialmente distribuito per produrre una stima dell'erosione superficiale in bacini appenninici. Il modello è stato progettato per simulare in maniera fisicamente basata il distacco di suolo e di sedimento depositato ad opera delle precipitazioni e del deflusso superficiale, e si propone come utile strumento per lo studio della vulnerabilità del territorio collinare e montano. Si è scelto un bacino collinare dell'Appennino bolognese per testare le capacità del modello e verificarne la robustezza. Dopo una breve introduzione per esporre il contesto in cui si opera, nel primo capitolo sono presentate le principali forme di erosione e una loro descrizione fisico-matematica, nel secondo capitolo verranno introdotti i principali prodotti della modellistica di erosione del suolo, spiegando quale interpretazione dei fenomeni fisici è stata data. Nel terzo capitolo verrà descritto il modello oggetto della tesi di dottorando, con una prima breve descrizione della componente afflussi-deflussi ed una seconda descrizione della componente di erosione del suolo. Nel quarto capitolo verrà descritto il bacino di applicazione del modello, i risultati della calibrazione ed un'analisi di sensitività. Infine si presenteranno le conclusioni sullo studio.

description: We present mid-infrared spectra between 5.2 and 38 microns for 26 disk-bearing members of the ~5 Myr old Upper Scorpius OB association obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. We find clear evidence for changes in the spectral characteristics of dust emission between the early (B+A) and late-type (K+M) infrared excess stars. The early-type members exhibit featureless continuum excesses that become apparent redward of ~8 microns. In contrast, 10 and 20 micron silicate features are present in all but one of the late-type excess members of Upper Scorpius. The strength of silicate emission among late-type Upper Scorpius members is spectral type dependent, with the most prominent features being associated with K5-M2 type stars. By fitting the spectral energy distributions (SED) of a sample of low-mass stars with accretion disk models, we find that the SEDs are consistent with models having inner disk radii ranging from ~0.2 to 1.2 AU. Complementary high resolution optical spectra for the Upper Scorpius excess stars were examined for signatures of gaseous accretion. Of the 35 infrared excess stars identified in Upper Scorpius, only 7 (all late-type) exhibit signatures of accretion. Mass accretion rates for these stars range from ~1e-11 to 1e-9 solar masses/yr. Compared to Class II sources in Taurus-Auriga, the disk population in Upper Scorpius exhibits reduced levels of near and mid-infrared excess emission and an order of magnitude lower mass accretion rates. These results suggest that the disk structure has changed significantly over the 2-4 Myr in age separating these two stellar populations. The ubiquity of depleted inner disks in the Upper Scorpius excess sample implies that such disks are a common evolutionary pathway that persists for some time.

description: This study investigated the effect of CAPE on planktonic growth, biofilm-forming abilities, mature biofilms, and cell death of C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, and C. parapsilosis strains. Our results showed a strain- and dose-dependent effect of CAPE on Candida, and the MIC values were between 12.5 and 100 µg/mL. Similarly, the MBIC values of CAPE ranging between 50 and 100 µg/mL highlighted the inhibition of the biofilm-forming abilities in a dose-dependent manner, as well. However, CAPE showed a weak to moderate biofilm eradication ability (19-49%) on different Candida strains mature biofilms. Both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent apoptosis after CAPE treatment were observed in certain tested Candida strains. Our study has displayed typical apoptotic hallmarks of CAPE-induced chromatin margination, nuclear blebs, nuclear condensation, plasma membrane detachment, enlarged lysosomes, cytoplasm fragmentation, cell wall distortion, whole-cell shrinkage, and necrosis. In conclusion, CAPE has a concentration and strain-dependent inhibitory activity on viability, biofilm formation ability, and cell death response in the different Candida species.

description: A new classification system for carbon-rich stars is presented based on an analysis of 51 AGB carbon stars through the most relevant classifying indices available. The extension incorporated, that also represents the major advantage of this new system, is the combination of the usual optical indices that describe the photospheres of the objects, with new infrared ones, which allow an interpretation of the circumstellar environment of the carbon-rich stars. This new system is presented with the usual spectral subclasses and $C_2$-, j-, MS- and temperature indices, and also with the new SiC- (SiC/C.A. abundance estimation) and $τ$- (opacity) indices. The values for the infrared indices were carried out through a Monte Carlo simulation of the radiative transfer in the circumstellar envelopes of the stars. The full set of indices, when applied to our sample, resulted in a more efficient system of classification, since an examination in a wide spectral range allows us to obtain a complete scenario for carbon stars.

description: Il mar Mediterraneo è un bacino acquifero peculiare per la recente colonizzazione di
specie aliene, per l’evento geologico legato alla Crisi di salinità del Messiniano e per
l’ampio range di salinità. L’individuazione dei meccanismi di colonizzazione si è
incentrata sullo studio morfologico, istologico e molecolare delle specie Asperarca
nodulosa ed Anadara demiri (Arcidae-Bivalvia-Mollusca). La ricerca si è basata sulla
caratterizzazione morfologica, con utilizzo del microscopio elettronico a scansione, al
fine di individuare il tipo di sviluppo larvale. Successivamente i dati rilevati al S.E.M.
sono stati supportati dall’indagine istologica che ha evidenziato la presenza di gonadi
a sessi distinti e la non incubazione larvale.
L’ulteriore analisi filogenetica ha permesso di evidenziare la netta suddivisione tra le
tre popolazioni studiate, indagine effettuata tramite marcatori arbitrari (RAPDs) e
nucleari specifici (ITS). I risultati ottenuti trovano supporto da quanto noto su base
morfologica.
I dati, nel complesso, mostrano una perdita delle capacità di diffusione della specie
tramite sviluppo larvale plantotrofico a favore di quello lecitotrofico o diretto; tale
tesi è ulteriormente supportata dai dati molecolari che mostrano una netta separazione
delle popolazioni prese in esame ed un conseguente isolamento tra individui
appartenenti a zone di profondità del Mediterraneo (sub-bacini abissali).
La ricerca ha, inoltre,esaminato i meccanismi di introduzione attuali nel bacino
acquifero che è soggetto ad una nuova invasione da parte specie aliene dovuta
all’apertura del canale di Suez. L’analisi si è focalizzata sullo studio per l’
individuazione dell’origine della specie aliena A. demiri , di presunta derivazione
Indo-Pacifica, ma rivelatasi, nei dati preliminari, di origine Atlantica.

description: We present a search for standard model (SM) Higgs boson production using ppbar collision data at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb-1. We search for Higgs bosons produced in all processes with a significant production rate and decaying to two W bosons. We find no evidence for SM Higgs boson production and place upper limits at the 95% confidence level on the SM production cross section (sigma(H)) for values of the Higgs boson mass (m_H) in the range from 110 to 200 GeV. These limits are the most stringent for m_H > 130 GeV and are 1.29 above the predicted value of sigma(H) for mH = 165 GeV.

description: Integrated rice-animal co-culture can provide a sustainable alternative to limited arable land and freshwater resources, ensuring a sustainable global food supply in a complementary form. Although most studies have focused on the effect of co-culture systems on soil and water properties and rice yield, the results usually differ from various case studies. The high variability of the results requires a thorough assessment of the different rice-animal co-culture modes. In this meta-analysis, 191 pairs of observations from 80 studies were collected to explore the potential effects of six rice-animal co-culture modes on paddy nutrient supplements and rice yield (RY). The results showed that rice-animal co-culture systems could optimize paddy ecosystem and increase RY by 7.77%. Rice-frog and rice-crayfish systems were better co-culture modes for nutrient retention in soil. Compared with soil, the response of ammonia-nitrogen (NH4+-N) in water is more positive to the response of RY. Our study further confirmed that rice-animal co-culture is environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture to increase both rice yield and animal protein products by enhancing the concentration of available nutrients and efficient use of the limited water and land resources.

description: We investigate front propagation and synchronization transitions in dependence on the information transmission delay and coupling strength over scale-free neuronal networks with different average degrees and scaling exponents. As the underlying model of neuronal dynamics, we use the efficient Rulkov map with additive noise. We show that increasing the coupling strength enhances synchronization monotonously, whereas delay plays a more subtle role. In particular, we found that depending on the inherent oscillation frequency of individual neurons, regions of irregular and regular propagating excitatory fronts appear intermittently as the delay increases. These delay-induced synchronization transitions manifest as well-expressed minima in the measure for spatial synchrony, appearing at every multiple of the oscillation frequency. Larger coupling strengths or average degrees can broaden the region of regular propagating fronts by a given information transmission delay and further improve synchronization. These results are robust against variations in system size, intensity of additive noise and the scaling exponent of the underlying scale-free topology. We argue that fine-tuned information transmission delays are vital for assuring optimally synchronized excitatory fronts on complex neuronal networks, and indeed, they should be seen as important as the coupling strength or the overall density of interneuronal connections. We finally discuss some biological implications of the presented results.

description: Given a semidirect product $\frak{g}=\frak{s}\uplus\frak{r}$ of semisimple Lie algebras $\frak{s}$ and solvable algebras $\frak{r}$, we construct polynomial operators in the enveloping algebra $\mathcal{U}(\frak{g})$ of $\frak{g}$ that commute with $\frak{r}$ and transform like the generators of $\frak{s}$, up to a functional factor that turns out to be a Casimir operator of $\frak{r}$. Such operators are said to generate a virtual copy of $\frak{s}$ in $\mathcal{U}(\frak{g})$, and allow to compute the Casimir operators of $\frak{g}$ in closed form, using the classical formulae for the invariants of $\frak{s}$. The behavior of virtual copies with respect to contractions of Lie algebras is analyzed. Applications to the class of Hamilton algebras and their inhomogeneous extensions are given.

Polarographic, potentiometric and kinetic studies of NAD model compounds

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The effects of varying the 1- and 3-substituents of NAD⁺ (I) model compounds on reactions (1) through (4) have [Chemical Diagrams] been investigated. The one-electron reduction in reaction (1) was observed polarographically. A reaction constant ρ* of +3.7 was found for the effect of 1-substituents and a reaction constant p of +11 to +12 was found for the effect of 3-substituents. The potential of the two-electron reduction of pyridinium ions in reaction (2) was measured potentio-metrically. Reaction constants of +2.8 and +9 to +11 were found for the effects of 1- and 3-substituents, respectively. Reaction constants of -1.9 and -6 were found for the effects of 1- and 3-substituents on the rates of oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines by flavins, reaction (3) . A similar reaction constant of -2.0 to -2.6 was found for the effect of 1-substituents on the acid decomposition of 1,4-dihydro-vridines, reaction (4). These results suggest that the mechanism of oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines by flavins may be more complex than the commonly accepted mechanism of hydride transfer. Reactions (1) through (4) were also investigated using WAD⁺, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and two 1,1'-alkylenebis(3-carbamoylpyridinium) compounds (II). The {Chemical Diagrams] oxidation-reduction properties of these four compounds be explained by considering the inductive effects of the 1-substituents.

description: Based on the density-dependent relativistic Hartree-Fock theory (DDRHF) for hadronic matter, the properties of neutron stars have been studied and compared with the results from the density-dependent relativistic mean field theory (DDRMF). Though similar equations of state are obtained, DDRHF calculations give larger fractions of proton, electron and muon at high baryon density for neutron star matter than the ones from DDRMF. The maximum masses of neutron stars lie between 2.3 M$_\odot$ and 2.5 M$_\odot$, and the corresponding radii between 11.7 km and 12.5 km. In addition, the phase transition from hadronic matter to quark matter in neutron stars is studied by using the MIT bag model for the quark phase. The transition is studied in both Gibbs and Maxwell constructions.

Bistable elliptic equations with fractional diffusion

Subjects: MAT/05 Analisi matematica

description: This work concerns the study of bounded solutions to elliptic
nonlinear equations with fractional diffusion. More precisely, the aim of this
thesis is to investigate some open questions related to a conjecture of De Giorgi about the one-dimensional symmetry of bounded monotone solutions in all
space, at least up to dimension 8. 
This property on 1-D symmetry of monotone solutions for 
fractional equations was known in dimension n=2. The question remained open for n>2. In this work we establish new sharp energy estimates and one-dimensional symmetry property in dimension 3 for certain solutions of fractional equations. Moreover we study a particular type of solutions, called saddle-shaped solutions, which are the candidates to be global minimizers not one-dimensional in dimensions bigger or equal than 8. This is an open problem and it is expected to be true from the classical theory of minimal surfaces.

description: We explore the connection between different classes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the evolution of their host galaxies, by deriving host galaxy properties, clustering, and Eddington ratios of AGNs selected in the radio, X-ray, and infrared. We study a sample of 585 AGNs at 0.25 < z < 0.8 using redshifts from the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES) and data in the radio (WSRT 1.4 GHz), X-rays (Chandra XBootes), and mid-IR (IRAC Shallow Survey). The radio, X-ray, and IR AGN samples show modest overlap, indicating that to the flux limits of the survey, they represent largely distinct classes of AGNs. We derive host galaxy colors and luminosities, as well as Eddington ratios (lambda), for obscured or optically faint AGNs. We also measure the two-point cross-correlation between AGNs and galaxies on scales of 0.3-10 h^-1 Mpc, and derive typical dark matter halo masses. We find that: (1) radio AGNs are mainly found in luminous red galaxies, are strongly clustered (with M_halo ~ 3x10^13 h^-1 M_sun), and have very low lambda 10^-2. We interpret these results in terms of a simple model of AGN and galaxy evolution, whereby a "quasar" phase and the growth of the stellar bulge occurs when a galaxy's dark matter halo reaches a critical mass between ~10^12 and 10^13 M_sun. Subsequently, star formation ceases and AGN accretion shifts from radiatively efficient (optical- and IR- bright) to radiatively inefficient (optically-faint, radio-bright) modes.

Modelling the effects of nitrogen deposition and carbon dioxide enrichment on forest carbon balance

Subjects: AGR/03 Arboricoltura generale e coltivazioni arboree

description: Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) has increased over the last 250 years, mainly due to human activities. Of total anthropogenic emissions, almost 31% has been sequestered by the terrestrial biosphere. A considerable contribution to this sink comes from temperate and boreal forest ecosystems of the northern hemisphere, which contain a large amount of carbon (C) stored as biomass and soil organic matter. Several potential drivers for this forest C sequestration have been proposed, including increasing atmospheric [CO2], temperature, nitrogen (N) deposition and changes in management practices. However, it is not known which of these drivers are most important.  
The overall aim of this thesis project was to develop a simple ecosystem model which explicitly incorporates our best understanding of the mechanisms by which these drivers affect forest C storage, and to use this model to investigate the sensitivity of the forest ecosystem to these drivers.
I firstly developed a version of the Generic Decomposition and Yield (G’DAY) model to explicitly investigate the mechanisms leading to forest C sequestration following N deposition. Specifically, I modified the G’DAY model to include advances in understanding of C allocation, canopy N uptake, and leaf trait relationships. I also incorporated a simple forest management practice subroutine. Secondly, I investigated the effect of CO2 fertilization on forest productivity with relation to the soil N availability feedback. I modified the model to allow it to simulate short-term responses of deciduous forests to environmental drivers, and applied it to data from a large-scale forest Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment. Finally, I used the model to investigate the combined effects of recent observed changes in atmospheric [CO2], N deposition, and climate on a European forest stand. 
The model developed in my thesis project was an effective tool for analysis of effects of environmental drivers on forest ecosystem C storage. Key results from model simulations include: (i) N availability has a major role in forest ecosystem C sequestration; (ii) atmospheric N deposition is an important driver of N availability on short and long time-scales; (iii) rising temperature increases C storage by enhancing soil N availability and (iv) increasing [CO2] significantly affects forest growth and C storage only when N availability is not limiting.

description: We implement the proof of principle for the quantum walk of one ion in a linear ion trap. With a single-step fidelity exceeding 0.99, we perform three steps of an asymmetric walk on the line. We clearly reveal the differences to its classical counterpart if we allow the walker/ion to take all classical paths simultaneously. Quantum interferences enforce asymmetric, non-classical distributions in the highly entangled degrees of freedom (of coin and position states). We theoretically study and experimentally observe the limitation in the number of steps of our approach, that is imposed by motional squeezing. We propose an altered protocol based on methods of impulsive steps to overcome these restrictions, in principal allowing to scale the quantum walk to several hundreds of steps.

description: Assuming high-energy tri-bi-maximal mixing we study the radiative running of leptonic mixing angles and obtain limits on the high-energy scale from requiring consistency with the observed mixing. We construct a model in which a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry leads both to a quasi-degenerate neutrino mass spectrum and to near tri-bi-maximal mixing.

description: We calculated the glassy response of solid He-4 to torsional oscillations assuming a phenomenological glass model. Making only a few assumptions about the distribution of glassy relaxation times in a small subsystem of otherwise rigid solid He-4, we can account for the magnitude of the observed period shift and concomitant dissipation peak in several torsion oscillator experiments. The implications of the glass model for solid He-4 are threefold: (1) The dynamics of solid He-4 is governed by glassy relaxation processes. (2) The distribution of relaxation times varies significantly between different torsion oscillator experiments. (3) The mechanical response of a torsion oscillator does not require a supersolid component to account for the observed anomaly at low temperatures, though we cannot rule out its existence.

Quantum yield studies of the photolyses of various tetrahydro-1,4-naphthoquinones
Creators: name: Louwerens, John Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The 366 nm photolysis of 2,3,4a,6,7,8a-hexamethyl-4aβ,5,8,8aβ-tetrahydro-l,4-naphthoquinone (27) in benzene yielded 28 with a quantum yield of 0.066 ± 0.003 and 29 with a quantum yield of 0.089 ± 0.003. The formation of 28 was suggested to occur via a C₈ hydrogen abstraction by C₁ oxygen in a five membered transition state (β-hydrogen abstraction), and the formation of 29 was believed to occur via a C₈ hydrogen abstraction by C₃ carbon in a six membered transition state (γ-hydrogen abstraction). A Stern-Volmer analysis (effect of triplet quencher concentration on quantum yield) showed that 28 was formed from a singlet excited state, whereas 29 was formed from a triplet excited state. The 366 nm photolysis of 6,7-dimethyl-4aβ,5,8,8aβ-tetrahydro-1,4-naphthoquinone (10) in benzene yielded 12 with a quantum yield of 0.0080 ± 0.0008 and 13 with a quantum yield of 0.0164 ± 0.0012. The 366 nm photolysis of 10 in tert-butanol yielded 11 with a quantum yield of 0.0081 ± 0.0008. All three photoproducts of 10 were suggested to occur via β-hydrogen abstraction by oxygen. Stern-Volmer analyses showed that both photoproducts 12 and 13 arise via a triplet and a singlet excited state, whereas 11 only arises via a singlet state. A mechanism is proposed explaining why products similar to 11 and 12 are not observed in the photolysis of 27. This mechanism is based on conformational control of the biradical intermediate by the bridgehead substituents. The effect of methyl substituents on the chromophore of 27 are implicated in shifting down the energy of the (π,π*) triplet. It is argued that 29 arises via γ-hydrogen abstraction by this (π,π*) triplet. [Chemical Diagrams]

description: The renormalizable Abelian quantum field theory model of Kroll, Lee, and Zumino is used at the one loop level to compute vertex corrections to the tree-level, Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) electromagnetic pion form factor. These corrections, together with the one-loop vacuum polarization contribution, imply a resulting electromagnetic pion form factor in excellent agreement with data in the whole range of accessible momentum transfers in the space-like region. The time-like form factor, which reproduces the Gounaris-Sakurai formula at and near the rho-meson peak, is unaffected by the vertex correction at order $\cal{O}$$(g^2)$. The KLZ model is also used to compute the scalar radius of the pion at the one loop level, finding $_{S} = 0.40 fm^{2}$. This value implies for the low energy constant of chiral perturbation theory $\bar{l}_{4} =3.4$.

description: Ferromagnetism above room temperature was observed in Cr-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon films deposited by rf magnetron-sputtering. Structure analysis reveals that films are amorphous without any detectable precipitates up to the solubility limit 16 atomic percentages of Cr. Experimental results suggest that hydrogenation has a dramatic influence on magnetic properties, electrical conductivity and carrier concentration in the thin films. Pronounced anomalous Hall effect and magnetization curve both suggest the origin of the ferromagnetism may arises from percolation of magnetic polarons.

Le charisme de la raison
Creators: name: Breuer, Stefan
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2014

description: When Max Weber introduced the concept of charisma into political sociology, he conceived of it not only as a quality of a person, but also as a symbolic form with a developmental history of its own, leading from magical to religious charisma, and finally to the charisma of reason. In this last form, Weber believed, charisma became, by way of routinization, one of the decisive factors for the formation of the modem rational state. But the charisma of reason developed only in France, during the Great Revolution of the 18th century, not in the United States. The essay discusses the reasons for this and shows that it is responsible for many differences in the political and administrative system of both countries.

description: We study two-dimensional N=(2,2) SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory on Euclidean two-torus using Sugino's lattice regularization. We perform the Monte-Carlo simulation for N=2,3,4,5 and then extrapolate the result to N = infinity. With the periodic boundary conditions for the fermions along both circles, we establish the existence of a bound state in which scalar fields clump around the origin, in spite of the existence of a classical flat direction. In this phase the global (Z_N)^2 symmetry turns out to be broken. We provide a simple explanation for this fact and discuss its physical implications.

An Argument for the Consolidation of the Koster Habitation Site and Koster Mounds in Research and Repatriation

description: Koster, one of the most famous archaeological sites in North America, boasts a record of human occupation spanning over 9,000 years. Despite all that is known about Koster, researchers remain puzzled by the dearth of burials found within the habitation area. This paper argues that the majority of the burials associated with Koster were interred in the knolls and mounds on the bluffs immediately above the habitation area at the far less known Koster Mounds. In addition to the spatial proximity between Koster and Koster Mounds, there is ample mortuary and artifactual evidence supporting contemporaneity and cultural continuity between the two. Acknowledging the link between them has substantial implications for both Midwest archaeology and repatriation.

description: We give a spinorial characterization of isometrically immersed surfaces of arbitrary signature into 3-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space forms. For Lorentzian surfaces, this generalizes a recent work of the first author in $\mathbb{R}^{2,1}$ to other Lorentzian space forms. We also characterize immersions of Riemannian surfaces in these spaces. From this we can deduce analogous results for timelike immersions of Lorentzian surfaces in space forms of corresponding signature, as well as for spacelike and timelike immersions of surfaces of signature (0,2), hence achieving a complete spinorial description for this class of pseudo-Riemannian immersions.

description: Increasing water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content in white clover is important for improving nutritional quality and reducing environmental impacts from pastoral agriculture. Elucidation of genes responsible for foliar WSC variation would enhance genetic improvement by enabling molecular breeding approaches. The aim of the present study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with variation in foliar WSC in white clover. A set of 935 white clover individuals, randomly sampled from five breeding pools selectively bred for divergent (low or high) WSC content, were assessed with 14,743 genotyping-by-sequencing SNPs, using three outlier detection methods: PCAdapt, BayeScan and KGD-FST. These analyses identified 33 SNPs as discriminating between high and low WSC populations and putatively under selection. One SNP was located in the intron of ERD6-like 4, a gene coding for a sugar transporter located on the vacuole membrane. A genome-wide association study using a subset of 605 white clover individuals and 5,757 SNPs, identified a further 12 SNPs, one of which was associated with a starch biosynthesis gene, glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase, glgC. Our results provide insight into genomic regions underlying WSC accumulation in white clover, identify candidate genomic regions for further functional validation studies, and reveal valuable information for marker-assisted or genomic selection in white clover.
