Subjects: FIS/05 Astronomia e astrofisica

description: In this Thesis we have presented our work on the analysis of galaxy clusters through their X-ray emission and the gravitational lensing effect that they induce.  Our research work was mainly finalised to verify and possibly explain the  observed mismatch  between the galaxy cluster mass distributions estimated through two of the most promising  techniques, i.e. the X-ray and the gravitational lensing analyses.  Moreover, it is an established  evidence that  combined, multi-wavelength analyses are extremely effective in   addressing and explaining the open issues in astronomy: however, in order to follow this approach, it is crucial to test the reliability and the limitations of the individual analysis techniques. In this Thesis we also assessed the impact of some factors that could affect both the X-ray and the strong lensing analyses.
Model for solvent viscosity effect on enzymatic reactions

Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)

description: Why reaction rate constants for enzymatic reactions are typically inversely proportional to fractional power exponents of solvent viscosity remains to be already a thirty years old puzzle. Available interpretations of the phenomenon invoke to either a modification of 1. the conventional Kramers' theory or that of 2. the Stokes law. We show that there is an alternative interpretation of the phenomenon at which neither of these modifications is in fact indispensable. We reconcile 1. and 2. with the experimentally observable dependence. We assume that an enzyme solution in solvent with or without cosolvent molecules is an ensemble of samples with different values of the viscosity for the movement of the system along the reaction coordinate. We assume that this viscosity consists of the contribution with the weight $q$ from cosolvent molecules and that with the weight $1-q$ from protein matrix and solvent molecules. We introduce heterogeneity in our system with the help of a distribution over the weight $q$. We verify the obtained solution of the integral equation for the unknown function of the distribution by direct substitution. All parameters of the model are related to experimentally observable values. General formalism is exemplified by the analysis of literature experimental data for oxygen escape from hemerythin.

description: Low-energy cosmic rays are a fundamental source of ionization for molecular clouds, influencing their chemical, thermal and dynamical evolution. The purpose of this work is to explore the possibility that a low-energy component of cosmic-rays, not directly measurable from the Earth, can account for the discrepancy between the ionization rate measured in diffuse and dense interstellar clouds. We collect the most recent experimental and theoretical data on the cross sections for the production of H2+ and He+ by electron and proton impact, and we discuss the available constraints on the cosmic-ray fluxes in the local interstellar medium. Starting from different extrapolations at low energies of the demodulated cosmic-ray proton and electron spectra, we compute the propagated spectra in molecular clouds in the continuous slowing-down approximation taking into account all the relevant energy loss processes. The theoretical value of the cosmic-ray ionization rate as a function of the column density of traversed matter is in agreement with the observational data only if either the flux of cosmic-ray electrons or of protons increases at low energies. The most successful models are characterized by a significant (or even dominant) contribution of the electron component to the ionization rate, in agreement with previous suggestions. However, the large spread of cosmic-ray ionization rates inferred from chemical models of molecular cloud cores remains to be explained. Available data combined with simple propagation models support the existence of a low-energy component (below about 100 MeV) of cosmic-ray electrons or protons responsible for the ionization of molecular cloud cores and dense protostellar envelopes.

Electron Correlation: Nature's Weird and Wonderful Chemical Glue

description: It can be argued that electron correlation, as a concept, deserves the same prominence in general chemistry as molecular orbital theory. We show how it acts as Nature's "chemical glue" at both the molecular and supramolecular levels. Electron correlation can be presented in a general chemistry course in an at least somewhat intuitive manner. We also propose a simple classification of correlation effects based on their length scales and the size of the orbital gap (relative to the two-electron integrals). In the discussion, we also show how DFT can shed light on wavefunction theory, and conversely. We discuss two types of "honorary valence orbitals", one related to small core-valence gaps, the other to the ability of empty 3d orbitals in 2nd row elements to act as backbonding acceptors. Finally, we show why the pursuit of absolute total energies for their own sake becomes a sterile exercise, and why atomization energies are a more realistic "fix point".

We show that strain can be easily tailored to generate electron beam collimation, 1D channels, surface states and confinement, the basic elements for all-graphene electronics. In addition this proposal has the advantage that patterning can be made on substrates rather than on the graphene sheet, thereby protecting the integrity of the latter.

description: Affordance refers to the perception of possible actions allowed by an object. Despite its relevance to human-computer interaction, no existing theory explains the mechanisms that underpin affordance-formation; that is, how affordances are discovered and adapted via interaction. We propose an integrative theory of affordance-formation based on the theory of reinforcement learning in cognitive sciences. The key assumption is that users learn to associate promising motor actions to percepts via experience when reinforcement signals (success/failure) are present. They also learn to categorize actions (e.g., "rotating" a dial), giving them the ability to name and reason about affordance. Upon encountering novel widgets, their ability to generalize these actions determines their ability to perceive affordances. We implement this theory in a virtual robot model, which demonstrates human-like adaptation of affordance in interactive widgets tasks. While its predictions align with trends in human data, humans are able to adapt affordances faster, suggesting the existence of additional mechanisms.

description: PREMESSA: La progressione della recidiva d’epatite C è accelerata nei pazienti sottoposti a trapianto di fegato e ciò ha portato alla necessità di sviluppare nuove e validate metodiche non invasive per la quantificazione e la misura della fibrosi epatica. SCOPI: Stabilire l’efficacia dell’elastometria epatica (Fibroscan®) e dei parametri sierici di fibrosi, attualmente disponibili nella pratica clinica, per predire il grado di fibrosi nei pazienti sottoposti a trapianto epatico. METODI: La correlazione fra fibrosi epatica, determinata mediante biopsia epatica ed esame istologico, e Fibroscan® o indici clinico-sierologici di fibrosi (Benlloch, Apri, Forns, Fibrotest and Doppler resistance index), è stata studiata in pazienti che avevano
ricevuto un trapianto ortotopico di fegato con evidenza di recidiva d’epatite da HCV. Un totale di 36 pazienti, con la seguente classificazione istologica: fibrosi secondom METAVIR F1=24, F2=8, F3=3, F4=1, sono stati arruolati nella popolazione oggetto di studio. Un totale di 29 individui volontari sani sono serviti come controllo. Le differenze fra gli stadi di fibrosi sono state calcolate mediante analisi statistica non parametrica. Il miglior cut-off per la differenziazione di fibrosi significativa (F2-F4) è stato identificato mediante l’analisi delle curve ROC. RISULTATI: La rigidità epatica ha presentato valori di 4.4 KPa (2.7-6.9) nei controlli (mediane e ranges), con valori in tutti i soggeti <7.0 KPa; 7.75 KPa (4.2-28.0) negli F1; 16.95 KPa (10.2-31.6) negli F2; 21.10 KPa nell’unico paziente F4 cirrotico. Le differenze sono state statisticamente significative per i soggetti controllo versus F1 e F2 (p<0.0001) e per F1 versus F2 (p<0.0001). Un cut-off elastografico di 11.2 KPagarantisce 88% di Sensibilità, 90% di Specificità, 79% di PPV e 95% di NPV nel
differenziare i soggetti F1 dagli F2-F4. Le AUROC, relativamente alla capacità di discriminare fra i differenti gradi di fibrosi, evidenziavano un netto vantaggio per il
Fibroscan® rispetto ad ognuno degli indici non invasivi di fibrosi. CONCLUSIONI: L’elastometria epatica presenta una buona accuratezza diagnostica nell’identificare pazienti con fibrosi epatica di grado significativo, superiore a quella di tutti gli altri test non invasivi al momento disponibili nella clinica, nei pazienti portatori di trapianto epatico ortotopico da cadavere con recidiva di HCV.

description: In this work, we present a novel approach to the mathematical analysis of equations with memory based on the notion of a state, namely, the initial configuration of the system which can be unambiguously determined by the knowledge of the future dynamics. As a model, we discuss the abstract version of an equation arising from linear viscoelasticity. It is worth mentioning that our approach goes back to the heuristic derivation of the state framework, devised by L.Deseri, M.Fabrizio and M.J.Golden in "The concept of minimal state in viscoelasticity: new free energies and applications to PDEs", Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., vol. 181 (2006) pp.43-96. Starting from their physical motivations, we develop a suitable functional formulation which, as far as we know, is completely new.

description: We report first results of first global galactic-scale CR-MHD simulations of cosmic-ray-driven dynamo. We investigate the dynamics of magnetized interstellar medium (ISM), which is dynamically coupled with the cosmic-ray (CR) gas. We assume that exploding stars deposit small-scale, randomly oriented, dipolar magnetic fields into the differentially rotating ISM, together with a portion of cosmic rays, accelerated in supernova shocks. We conduct numerical simulations with the aid of a new parallel MHD code PIERNIK. We find that the initial magnetization of galactic disks by exploding magnetized stars forms a favourable conditions for the cosmic-ray-driven dynamo. We demonstrate that dipolar magnetic fields supplied on small SN-remnant scales, can be amplified exponentially, by the CR-driven dynamo, to the present equipartition values, and transformed simultaneously to large galactic-scales. The resulting magnetic field structure in an evolved galaxy appears spiral in the face-on view and reveals the so called X-shaped structure in the edge-on view.

Enhanced Phase Mixing of Torsional Alfvén Waves in Stratified and Divergent Solar Coronal Structures, Paper II: Nonlinear Simulations

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We use MHD simulations to detect the nonlinear effects of torsional Alfvén wave propagation in a potential magnetic field with exponentially divergent field lines, embedded in a stratified solar corona. In Paper I we considered solutions to the linearised governing equations torsional Alfvén wave propagation and showed, using a finite difference solver we developed named WiggleWave, that in certain scenarios wave damping is stronger than what would be predicted by our analytic solutions. In this paper we consider whether damping would be further enhanced by the presence of nonlinear effects. We begin by deriving the nonlinear governing equations for torsional Alfvén wave propagation and identifying the terms that cause coupling to magnetosonic perturbations. We then compare simulation outputs from an MHD solver called Lare3d, which solves the full set of nonlinear MHD equations, to the outputs from WiggleWave to detect nonlinear effects such as: the excitation of magnetosonic waves by the Alfvén wave, self-interaction of the Alfvén wave through coupling to the induced magnetosonic waves, and the formation of shock waves higher in the atmosphere caused by the steepening of these compressive perturbations. We suggest that the presence of these nonlinear effects in the solar corona would lead to Alfvén wave heating that exceeds the expectation from the phase mixing alone.

description: la ricerca ha avuto per oggetto la ricostruzione della storia e del patrimonio della biblioteca privata specializzata di San Genesio fondata nel 1931 presso la Casa "Lyda Borelli" per artisti drammatici di Bologna. 
La biblioteca si presenta oggi come uno dei centri di documentazione teatrale più antichi e significativi del panorama italiano: oltre 10.000 monografie, per la maggior parte concernenti testi e studi specialistici, un fondo antico (pre 1831) di oltre 2.000 volumi, una ricca collezione di periodici sul mondo dello spettacolo in collezione completa, una raccolta di copioni teatrali manoscritti e dattiloscritti di oltre 1.000 unità. La biblioteca, inoltre, comprende l'archivio storico della Casa che conserva la documentazione riguardante la vita dell'Istituto dalla sua nascita, nel 1917, numerosi fondi aggregati appartenuti a rilevanti personaggi dello spettacolo e un patrimonio fotografico unico in Italia.
La tesi sintetizza i due principali filoni di ricerca seguiti durante il percorso dottorale. Il primo è quello della ricognizione delle fonti archivistiche, sia interne sia esterne all'istituto, al fine di dettagliare la lunga storia della biblioteca San Genesio, mai oggetto di altra ricostruzione complessiva. Questo obiettivo è stato raggiunto mediante la consultazione dell'intero patrimonio documentario conservato presso l'Archivio storico di Casa "Lyda Borelli" e di numerosi fondi archivistici, concernenti attori e personaggi in rapporto con la Casa, presenti in altri istituti pubblici e privati. I documenti interni alla Casa sono stati intrecciati con altri con cui sono speculari, conservati in altre istituzioni. La seconda parte della ricerca si è concentrata sull'analisi del fondo librario antico. La ricchezza della collezione, costituita da oltre trecento testi teatrali pubblicati nel XVI e XVII secolo, ha offerto un ampio campione d'indagine per ricostruire l'evoluzione dell'editoria specializzata nei primi secoli della stampa tipografica. A tal fine è stato redatto un catalogo, in cui la descrizione bibliografica è accompagnata dall'analitica registrazione degli elementi paratestuali presenti, quali dediche, avvisi ai lettori, indici, errata corrige, marginalia, note di possesso ed ex libris, elementi oggetto di forte interesse nei più accreditati e moderni studi bibliologici e di storia del libro sia italiani sia stranieri. A completamento del catalogo sono stati compilati numerosi indici al fine di moltiplicare le chiavi d'accesso e di lettura del fondo (per autori secondari, luoghi di stampa, editori e tipografi, marche tipografiche e possessori), dotando il catalogo di un apparato fotografico dei frontespizi. Questi elementi aggiuntivi rendono l'elaborato un repertorio unico per le edizioni teatrali e una fonte importante per gli studiosi della stampa in antico regime tipografico.

description: We have recently identified the widest very low-mass binary (2M0126AB), consisting of an M6.5V and an M8V dwarf with a separation of ~5100 AU, which is twice as large as that of the second widest known system and an order of magnitude larger than those of all other previously known wide very low-mass binaries. If this binary belongs to the field population, its constituents would have masses of ~0.09 Msun, at the lower end of the stellar regime. However, in the discovery paper we pointed out that its proper motion and position in the sky are both consistent with being a member of the young (30 Myr) Tucana/Horologium association, raising the possibility that the binary is a pair of ~0.02 Msun brown dwarfs. We obtained optical spectroscopy at the Gemini South Observatory in order to constrain the age of the pair and clarify its nature. The absence of lithium absorption at 671 nm, modest Halpha emission, and the strength of the gravity-sensitive Na doublet at 818 nm all point toward an age of at least 200 Myr, ruling out the possibility that the binary is a member of Tucana/Horologium. We further estimate that the binary is younger than 2 Gyr based on its expected lifetime in the galactic disk.

Teaching parents behaviour modification principles and techniques
Creators: name: Kuchenmuller, Manfred D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Involving parents as change agents for their children is an important step towards a more comprehensive model in the treatment and prevention of juvenile delinquency. This study investigates the effectiveness of using parents as behaviour modifiers of their delinquent children. The research questions explored are the following; firstly, will parents benefit from the learning of behaviour modification techniques; secondly, will parents generalize their knowledge of these techniques to other problem situations; thirdly, is there an inverse relationship between parent understanding of behaviour modification techniques and child problem behaviours; fourthly, will children whose behaviour has been modified commit fewer delinquencies. The subjects were 13 adjudged delinquent boys and girls and their parents who volunteered to take part in the program. A randomized before and after experimental and control group design was used, with seven subjects in the experimental and six in the control group. Under the guidance of a student clinician parents were instructed, during the six month intervention phase, in operant behaviour modification principles and techniques required for the modification of targeted problem behaviours. Parents were responsible for identifying, collecting baseline and intervention data, and recording problem behaviours. They were also responsible for the carrying out the modification process through contingency contracting, and generally rewarding positive and ignoring negative behaviours. If the parents carried out these duties they were paid $20 per week. Parent learning of behaviour modification techniques was measured on a 50 question multiple choice child problem situation questionnaire developed for this study. Behaviour change was measured on the Walker Problem Behaviour Identification Checklist, a Problem Checklist and a Behaviour Checklist. The latter two were developed for this study. The Problem Checklist was constructed on a binomial yes, no basis and sets out 30 child problem behaviours. The Behaviour Checklist was constructed on a four point behaviour differential scale and covered 23 positive and negative behaviours. All questionnaires were completed by the parent implementing the behaviour change program.
Enhanced Phase Mixing of Torsional Alfvén Waves in Stratified and Divergent Solar Coronal Structures, Paper I: Linear Solutions

description: We derive a corrected analytical solution for the propagation and enhanced phase mixing of torsional Alfvén waves, in a potential magnetic field with exponentially divergent field lines, embedded in a stratified solar corona. Further we develop a code named TAWAS which calculates the analytic solution describing torsional Alfvén waves using IDL software language. We then use TAWAS to demonstrate that both our correction to the analytic solution and the inclusion of wave reflection have a significant impact on Alfvén wave damping. We continue to utilise TAWAS by performing a parameter study in order to identify the conditions under which enhanced phase mixing is strongest. We find that phase mixing is the strongest for high frequency Alfvén waves in magnetic fields with highly divergent field lines and without density stratification. We then present a finite difference solver, Wigglewave, which solves the linearised evolution equations for the system directly. Comparing solutions from TAWAS and Wigglewave we see that our analytical solution is accurate within the limits of the WKB approximation but under-reports the wave damping, caused by enhanced phase mixing, beyond the WKB limit. Both TAWAS and Wigglewave solve the linearised governing equations and not the complete nonlinear MHD equations. Paper II will consider simulations that solve the full MHD equations including important nonlinear effects.

description: Cornutheca gen. nov. Kosakyan, Lahr, Mulot, Meisterfeld, Mitchell and Lara Description. Test elongated-pyriform, with a distinct neck, lateral margins tapering towards the aperture. Two lateral horns, pointing towards the posterior part of the test, either free or connected to the main part of the test by a lateral keel surrounding the posterior part of the test. Test hyaline or slightly yellowish, composed of circular to elongated shell plates probably recycled from euglyphid testate amoeba prey. Differential diagnosis. Members of this genus differ from other hyalospheniid genera in the presence of two lateral horns. Type species. Cornutheca ansata (Leidy, 1879) Kosakyan, Lahr, Mulot, Meisterfeld, Mitchell and Lara comb. nov. Included taxa. We include in this genus all Nebela taxa bearing two lateral horns, such as N. ansata, N. saccifera and N. hippocrepis. Etymology. The name of the genus derives from the Latin words “cornus” and “theca”, meaning horns and shell, the traits that are characteristic for the members of the genus.

An evaluation of natural and formal language programmes with deaf children
Creators: name: Bunch, Gary Owen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This investigation was designed to evaluate the success of the natural and formal language teaching programmes for deaf children in teaching the usage of selected grammatical principles. Evaluations of the success of each programme relative to the language abilities of young normally hearing children and of each programme relative to the other were performed. Forty-nine subjects were selected from a residential school using the natural method of teaching language and twenty-six subjects were selected from a residential school employing formal methods. The subjects from each school were divided into three age ranges; nine years to ten years, eleven months; twelve years to thirteen years, eleven months; fifteen years to sixteen years, eleven months. Subject selection criteria included consideration of intelligence levels, hearing loss, absence of major additional handicapping conditions, school-age career history and age of onset of deafness. Extensive quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed on the variables of method, age and sex. Test instruments were Menyuk's "Test of Grammatical Competence" and Berko's "Test of Morphological Rules". Examination of programme goals revealed that neither school had delineated goals in the area of language programme in a manner conducive to the evaluation of any specific language principle. Intended situational, input, process and outcome factors were not congruent with their observed counterparts. Observed outcomes did not approximate intended outcomes as implied in the language programme goals. Goals and targeting evaluation were recommended for both schools. Quantitative analysis demonstrated that neither language teaching programme enabled deaf children in the age ranges examined to deal with the selected language principles with anything approaching the ability displayed by nursery school and kindergarten age normally hearing children. Children taught under one programme did not fare any better than children taught under the other. Some evidence that females deal with language principles on a higher level than males was found. Language ability appeared to be age-related with older children achieving significantly higher scores than younger. Qualitative analysis indicated that a limited number of deaf children demonstrated considerable competence in dealing with the language principles examined. The majority of the seventy-five subjects demonstrated almost total inability to deal with any grammatical principle. As a group the deaf subjects of this study performed as though they were memorizing grammatical rules rather than internalizing them. Little support was found for theories suggesting that deaf children parallel normally hearing children in language development though at a somewhat slower pace or that deaf and hearing children approach language tasks with common rules of performance.

description: Counting problems, determining the number of possible states of a large system under certain constraints, play an important role in many areas of science. They naturally arise for complex disordered systems in physics and chemistry, in mathematical graph theory, and in computer science. Counting problems, however, are among the hardest problems to access computationally. Here, we suggest a novel method to access a benchmark counting problem, finding chromatic polynomials of graphs. We develop a vertex-oriented symbolic pattern matching algorithm that exploits the equivalence between the chromatic polynomial and the zero-temperature partition function of the Potts antiferromagnet on the same graph. Implementing this bottom-up algorithm using appropriate computer algebra, the new method outperforms standard top-down methods by several orders of magnitude, already for moderately sized graphs. As a first application, we compute chromatic polynomials of samples of the simple cubic lattice, for the first time computationally accessing three-dimensional lattices of physical relevance. The method offers straightforward generalizations to several other counting problems.

description: Solution growth of single crystals of the recently reported new compound Ce2PdIn8 was investigated. When growing from a stoichiometry in a range 2:1:20 - 2:1:35, single crystals of CeIn3 covered by a thin (~50 um) single-crystalline layer of Ce2PdIn8 were mostly obtained. Using palladium richer compositions the thickness of the Ce2PdIn8 layers were increased, which allowed mechanical extraction of single-phase slabs of the desired compound suitable for a thorough study of magnetism and superconductivity. In some solution growth products also CePd3In6 (LaNi3In6 - type of structure) and traces of phases with the stoichiometry CePd2In7, Ce1.5Pd1.5In7 (determined only by EDX) have been identified. Magnetic measurements of the Ce2PdIn8 single crystals reveal paramagnetic behaviour of the Ce3+ ions with significant magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Above 70 K the magnetic susceptibility follows the Curie-Weiss law with considerably different values of the paramagnetic Curie temperature, for the magnetic field applied along the a- (-90 K) and c-(-50 K) axis. Below the reported critical temperature for superconductivity Tc (0.69 K) the electrical resistivity drops to zero. Comparative measurements of the electrical resistivity, heat capacity and AC susceptibility of several crystals reveal that the superconducting transition is strongly sample-dependent.

description: We analyze the projected axial ratio distribution, p(b/a), of galaxies that were spectroscopically selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR6) to have low star-formation rates. For these quiescent galaxies we find a rather abrupt change in p(b/a) at a stellar mass of ~10^{11} M_sol: at higher masses there are hardly any galaxies with b/a<0.6, implying that essentially none of them have disk-like intrinsic shapes and must be spheroidal. This transition mass is ~3-4 times higher than the threshold mass above which quiescent galaxies dominate in number over star-forming galaxies, which suggests these mass scales are unrelated. At masses lower than ~10^{11} M_sol, quiescent galaxies show a large range in axial ratios, implying a mix of bulge- and disk-dominated galaxies. Our result strongly suggests that major merging is the most important, and perhaps only relevant, evolutionary channel to produce massive (>10^{11} M_sol), quiescent galaxies, as it inevitably results in spheroids.
