description: Neuron-restrictive silencer factor/repressor element 1 (RE1)-silencing transcription factor (NRSF/REST) regulates many genes and signaling pathways involved in neuronal differentiation, synaptic homeostasis and maintenance of normal glial cell functions. REST activity is progressively downregulated in neurons during development, while it is normally expressed in glial cells. Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells and play an important role in maintaining the functional integrity of neuronal networks by forming tripartite synapses. In this study, we have explored the in vitro role of REST in astrocyte functions using REST conditional knockout mice (REST-KO). We studied the electrophysiological properties of primary cultures of REST-KO cortical astrocytes by the patch-clamp method. We provided biophysical and pharmacological evidence of a reduced plasma membrane density of the inward rectifying K+ channel subtypes 4.1 (Kir4.1). Loss of Kir4.1 causes reduction of the expression and activity of glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1), accompanied by a decrease in the astroglial glutamate uptake. Because a reduced activity of astrocyte Kir4.1 has been observed in a number of neurological diseases including temporal lobe epilepsy, we have studied the firing properties of neurons co-cultured with REST-KO astrocytes. Loss of Kir4.1 impairs the astrocyte ability to buffer extracellular K+ concentration that, increased by neuronal activity, indirectly enhances the action potential firing of neurons co-cultured with REST-KO astrocytes. This study adds a new piece to the discovery of REST-regulated mechanisms in astrocytes and contributes to our understanding of the involvement of Kir4.1 and GLT-1 in a variety of neurological disorders.

description: Wireless broadband technology is now in motion to provide higher data rate, wider coverage and improved mobility. Towards this the 4G - network is an integration of various wireless technologies and expected to provide seamless mobility. Moreover 4G-networks will be entirely packet switched systems based on IP protocol. One of the research challenges for 4G-Network is the design of intelligent mobility management techniques that take advantage of IP-based technologies to achieve global roaming among various access technologies. Hence Mobile IPv6 is considered to be one of the key technologies for integration of heterogeneous networks. However the original Mobile IPv6 does not support fast handover, which is essential function for mobile networks. Number of research groups working towards this to develop a common protocol to enable seamless mobility. In this paper we identify and explore the different issues and challenges related to mobility management in 4G - networks.

Life’s shared dependence on water
Creators: name: Gray, Joe
Publisher: name: Visions for Sustainability
Year: 2022

description: The ecocentric world view holds that non-human life has intrinsic value – a worth that is independent of any benefits that may be derived from such lives by humans. Exemplifying this, a salmon matters for reasons that are immeasurably greater than simply representing a target for anglers or a potential flavour on a human tongue. A fundamental tenet of the ecocentric philosophy is that moral standing permeates beyond the merely human world and into wider nature. Furthermore, this world view foregrounds the unfolding mass extinction of life on Earth as the moral and existential arch-crisis of our time. This arch-crisis is being driven, in turn, by an array of interconnected emergencies that include, among others, rapid anthropogenic climate change and diminishing freshwater supplies. In the case of water, shifting rainfall patterns and increasing pressures on abstraction to support a growing human population are causing suffering, and rendering landscapes unliveable, to humans and non-humans alike. For life is united in its dependence on water. This shared elemental need offers a potential touchpoint for citizens, both younger and older, to develop a sense of kinship with non-human others and to become more ecocentric in their value systems. Ultimately, a groundswell of ecocentric concern will help generate policies and foster practices that support broad socio-ecological justice in water usage and in other domains of our interconnected lives as Earth-kin.

description: In this paper, we propose trellis coded quantization (TCQ) based limited feedback techniques for massive multiple-input single-output (MISO) frequency division duplexing (FDD) systems in temporally and spatially correlated channels. We exploit the correlation present in the channel to effectively quantize channel direction information (CDI). For multiuser (MU) systems with matched-filter (MF) precoding, we show that the number of feedback bits required by the random vector quantization (RVQ) codebook to match even a small fraction of the perfect CDI signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) performance is large. With such large numbers of bits, the exhaustive search required by conventional codebook approaches make them infeasible for massive MISO systems. Motivated by this, we propose a differential TCQ scheme for temporally correlated channels that transforms the source constellation at each stage in a trellis using 2D translation and scaling techniques. We derive a scaling parameter for the source constellation as a function of the temporal correlation and the number of BS antennas. We also propose a TCQ based limited feedback scheme for spatially correlated channels where the channel is quantized directly without performing decorrelation at the receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed TCQ schemes outperform the existing noncoherent TCQ (NTCQ) schemes, by improving the spectral efficiency and beamforming gain of the system. The proposed differential TCQ also reduces the feedback overhead of the system compared to the differential NTCQ method.

description: Correlations that violate a Bell Inequality are said to be nonlocal, i.e. they do not admit a local and deterministic explanation. Great effort has been devoted to study how the amount of nonlocality (as measured by a Bell inequality violation) serves to quantify the amount of randomness present in observed correlations. In this work we reverse this research program and ask what do the randomness certification capabilities of a theory tell us about the nonlocality of that theory. We find that, contrary to initial intuition, maximally nonlocal theories cannot allow maximal randomness certification. We go on and show that quantum theory, in contrast, permits certification of maximal randomness in all dichotomic scenarios. We hence pose the question of whether quantum theory is optimal for randomness, i.e. is it the most nonlocal theory that allows maximal randomness certification? We answer this question in the negative by identifying a larger-than-quantum set of correlations capable of this feat. Not only are these results relevant to understanding quantum mechanics' fundamental features, but also put fundamental restrictions on device-independent protocols based on the no-signaling principle.

description: In the increasing energy demand scenario, the development of renewable technologies is considered the key solution to fulfil the energy request. The conversion of light energy in electricity and chemical fuels through photovoltaic (PV) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells represents a powerful strategy for sustainable fuel and chemical generation. In particular, aqueous PEC cells and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) represent emerging energy conversion technologies. To provide an eco-friendly footprint, these new systems must be realized using novel earth-abundant cheap and environmentally friendly materials. In this context, two-dimensional (2D) materials are attracting utmost interest for their unique and tunable optoelectronic properties. In this frame, the aim of my research work is the synthesis and characterization of solution-processed 2D materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and group-III and group-IV metal monochalcogenides (MMCs). In particular, thanks to their adjustable band gap, high carrier mobility, large surface-to-volume ratio, I firstly studied in this thesis the GaSe, GaS, InSe and GeSe nanoflakes, produced in form of inks, as potential photocatalyst. The PEC properties of these materials were exploited to perform solar water splitting reactions i.e.: hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as aiming for the design of PEC-type photodetectors operating in aqueous media. Furthermore, I focused on the incorporation of 2D materials in PSCs technology. In this context I developed a graphene-based electrically conductive pastes for the fabrication of noble metal-free PSCs, the so-called carbon perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs). Lastly, during my period abroad at �cole Politechnique F�d�rale Lausanne (Lausanne, Switzerland) under the supervision of Prof. M. Graetzel, I worked on a novel strategy to improve the performances and stability of PSCs by incorporating solution-processed MoS2 nanoflakes into perovskite photoactive layers.

description: At the same time as the digital age is emerging in all areas of engineering, innovative tools for the design and management of industrial production plants are increasingly being developed, with engineers and managers looking for integrated solutions that speed up the conception of the Life Cycle of an industrial plant. Many tools, which are based on a renewed conception of simulation models, have been revisited thanks to the potential of software and computers on the market today, highlighting the concept of interoperability and data sharing. The present research project has as its basic purpose the integration of the concepts of Building Information Modelling and Process Simulation, applied simultaneously to the construction process and to the industrial plants. The analysis showed that high-performance alternative software solutions are already available, each of which is able to give more priority to specific aspects. The final result is the design of an innovative software solution with the aim of bridging the current gap and constituting a platform truly integrated with new technologies. From the Digital Supply Chain to the Internet of Things and from Artificial Intelligence to Factory 4.0, production plants will continue to play a key role in the end-to-end manufacturing supply chain: the present research project has the ambition to add a small piece in the framework of industrial sustainability based on modelling and process control.

The E(thi)co-Political Aesthetics of ‘Designer Water’

Publisher: name: Visions for Sustainability

description: This essay attempts to affectively politicize the global condition of water in the context of ‘designer capitalism’ by calling on its commodification through a colonial discourse that romanticizes Nature to sell its ‘bottled purity.’ The ethical concerns of ‘designer water’ (bottled water) are raised within the broader agenda of ecosophy as inspired by Félix Guattari’s last essay, The Three Ecologies. Designer water is explored in relation to Global and Modern Water proceeding to raise the question of ‘multiple water ontologies’ where indigenous water ontologies present further ethical and political issues within the Anthropocene era. I end with a section called ‘becoming water’ with an attempt to provide a pedagogical way to face the crisis of water in the Anthropocene based on the journey taken through this problematic.

description: Quantum technology is progressing towards fast quantum control over systems interacting with small environments. Hence such technologies are operating in a regime where the environment remembers the system's past, and the applicability of complete-positive trace preserving maps is no longer valid. The departure from complete positivity means many useful bounds, like entropy production, Holevo, and data processing inequality are no longer applicable to such systems. We address these issues by deriving a generalized bound for entropy valid for quantum dynamics with arbitrary system-environment correlations. We employ superchannels, which map quantum operations performed by the experimenter, represented in terms of completely positive maps, to states. Our bound has information-theoretic applications, as it generalizes the data processing inequality and the Holevo bound. We prove that both data processing inequality and the Holevo are valid even when system is correlated with the environment.

description: This thesis is aimed at a reconsideration of the last quarter of XIII century Genoese illuminating painting related to the scriptorium of St. Domenico monastery and characterized by the style of the so-called Master of the ms. Lat. 42. The analysis of manuscripts, already identified as Genoese but which needed further research, and previously unknown or attributed to another context allowed me not only to enrich the Ligurian corpus but also to open new frontiers of research. In particular I have analyzed types of books not yet considered in the Genoese production, such as philosophical and legal texts, and I have not only focused on stylistic aspects but also on the mise en page, the mise en teste, iconographic details and the construction of the image painted along the borders of the page and in the historiated initials. The work has been organized in this way. Chapter 1 introduces the theme of the research, giving a reconstruction of the critical history of the last quarter of XIII century Genoese illuminating painting, and focusing on questions which need further research, in particular the relationship between the Dominican scriptorium and the activities of Pisa scribes and illuminators, who were in Genoa as prisoners after the Battle of Meloria (1284). Chapter 2 deals with the value of books for the Dominicans in order to understand more deeply the possible role of this order in the circulation, execution, and production of manuscripts in Genoa. Chapters 3-5 focus on liturgical, legal and medieval manuscripts respectively. Each chapter essay is followed by the catalogue proper with an entry for each manuscript I saw directly. Chapters 6-9 expand upon specific texts, situating their creation and function more fully within their social and political context, with a special focus on the meaning of iconographical programs, compositions and motifs in the last Thirteenth century Genoese society.

description: It is well-known that a finitely generated group $Γ$ has Kazhdan's property (T) if and only if the Laplacian element $Δ$ in ${\mathbb R}[Γ]$ has a spectral gap. In this paper, we prove that this phenomenon is witnessed in ${\mathbb R}[Γ]$. Namely, $Γ$ has property (T) if and only if there are a constant $κ>0$ and a finite sequence $ξ_1,...,ξ_n$ in ${\mathbb R}[Γ]$ such that $Δ^2-κΔ= \sum_i ξ_i^*ξ_i$. This result suggests the possibility of finding new examples of property (T) groups by solving equations in ${\mathbb R}[Γ]$, possibly with an assist of computers.

description: The CMB bispectrum is a potential window on exciting new physics, as it is sensitive to the non-Gaussian features in the primordial fluctuations, the same fluctuations that evolved into today's planets, stars and galaxies. However, this invaluable information is potentially screened, as not all of the observed non-Gaussianity is of primordial origin. Indeed, a bispectrum arises even for perfectly Gaussian initial conditions due to non-linear dynamics, such as CMB photons scattering off free electrons and propagating in an inhomogeneous Universe. In this thesis, I introduce the reader to this intrinsic bispectrum in a pedagogic way, building up from the standard model of cosmology and from cosmological perturbation theory, the tool cosmologists use to unravel the history of the cosmos. In doing so, I introduce $\text{SONG}$, a new and efficient code for solving the second-order Einstein and Boltzmann equations. Next, I move on to answer the crucial question: is the intrinsic bispectrum going to screen the primordial signal in the CMB? Using $\text{SONG}$ I compute the intrinsic bispectrum and shows how its contamination leads to a small bias in the estimates of primordial non-Gaussianity, a great news for the prospect of using CMB data to probe primordial non-Gaussianity.

For such an f let I(m,f) be the lift of f to the space of Hermitian modular forms of degree m constructed by Ikeda. We then give an explicit formula of the Koecher-Maass series L(s,I(m,f)) of I(m,f).

description: In this thesis I analyze the structure of decoherence-free subalgebra N(T) of a uniformly continuous covariant Quantum Markov Semigroup (QMS) with respect to a representation ? of a compact group G on a Hilbert space h. In particular, I obtain that, when ? is irreducible, N(T) is isomorphic to (?(k) ? 1m)^d for suitable Hilbert spaces k and m, and an integer d related to the connected components of G. I extend this result when ? is reducible and N(T) is atomic by the decomposition of h due to the Peter?Weyl theorem. The thesis is then concluded by exploring the possibility of extending these results beyond the direct sum by using the concept of direct integral.

Novel insights into NK cell/leukemia molecular interactions and possible tools to potentiate the anti-leukemia NK cell activity

description: Natural killer (NK) cells are extremely promising for cellular antitumor therapy in terms of efficacy and safety, particularly in the control of hematological malignancies. The aim of this thesis was to provide deeper insights on receptor/ligand leukemia interactions and investigate possible tools to enhance the NK cell anti-leukemia activity. Two clinical contexts of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) were under evaluation 1) ??T-cell and B-cell depleted haplo-HSCT in pediatric leukemia patients, and 2) haplo-HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) in adult AML patients. Regarding the first platform, we tested the in vitro effect of different NK cell engagers (NKCEs), which can trigger either NKp46 or NKp30 together with CD16A, and target either CD19 or CD20 to induce killing of pediatric B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). We used as target cells different BCP-ALL cell lines and primary leukemias, and as effector cells resting NK cells derived from healthy donors and pediatric leukemia patients after ??T/B-depleted haplo-HSCT. The NKCEs potentiated the killing of NK-cell resistant BCP-ALL cells and enhanced the degranulation and cytokine production of NK cells. These data strongly support the therapeutic use of NKp46/CD16A/CD19-NKCE to fight relapsed/refractory leukemia in pre- or post-transplantation setting. Regarding the other platform, we investigated the phenotype of NK cells after transplantation, and we evaluated the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), targeting NKG2A, to unleash NK-cell activity against leukemia. The data pave the way for the use of an anti-NKG2A antibody (as Monalizumab) at early-time points after transplantation to enhance the anti-leukemia activity of NK cells.

description: Let $p$ be a prime and ${\mathfrak P}_p$ the set of positive integers which are prime to $p$. Recently, Wang and Cai proved that for every positive integer $r$ and prime $p>2$ $$ \sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p^r\\ i,j,k\in{\mathfrak P}_p}} \frac1{ijk} \equiv -2p^{r-1} B_{p-3} \pmod{p^r}, $$ where $B_{p-3}$ is the $(p-3)$-rd Bernoulli number. In this paper we prove the following analogous result: Let $n=2$ or $4$. Then for every positive integer $r\ge n/2$ and prime $p>4$ $$ \sum_{\substack{i_1+\cdots+i_n=p^r\\ i_1,\dots,i_n\in{\mathfrak P}_p}} \frac1{i_1i_2\cdots i_n} \equiv -\frac{n!}{n+1} p^{r} B_{p-n-1} \pmod{p^{r+1}}. $$ Moreover, by using integer relation detecting tool PSLQ we can show that generalizations with larger integers $n$ should involving finite multiple zeta values generated by Bernoulli numbers.

ELECTRO-TUNABLE OPTICAL DEVICES FOR MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR STUDIES

description: In the present scenario of information technology, researchers are looking for new systems able to deal more efficiently with the increasing amount of information produced by modern society. Nowadays, these tasks are accomplished by CMOS transistors and FLASH memories. Despite their wide implementation, these devices are facing serious issues along their road of development, mainly related to stable operation and power dissipation managing. Advancements in this field could boost the application of artificial intelligence and Big Data analysis, as well as enable new data communication protocols. By taking inspiration from the brain, a very powerful system characterized by low power consumption and high interconnectivity, new proposed devices, such as RRAM memories, aim at overcoming these issues. Properly engineered systems of this typology could act moreover as platforms for more precise and comprehensive biomedical studies. In this thesis, a new class of electro-tunable optical devices is presented in the framework of next-generation memory systems. The model device possesses very favorable characteristics, such as high density and interconnectivity. Moreover, the optical readout, performed by a camera, enables parallel operation. Two realizations of this device concept were studied. The first one is a new configuration for Zero-Mode Waveguides (ZMWs), a well-known nanophotonic system used to perform studies on fluorophore dispersion at the single molecule level. In the proposed device, the interplay of an electric voltage allows to control fluorophore concentration and residence time inside the ZMWs. The light intensity coming from the ZMWs gives information about these two parameters. In the second realization, the developed ZMWs platform is used to perform an optical detection of cardiomyocytes action potentials (APs). The cells are cultured on a thin substrate placed above the fluorophore dispersion. The substrate features an array of pass-through electrodes, which allow the electric APs to be transferred from the cells to the fluorophore dispersion. APs were successfully measured with high SNR. Moreover, the device proved able to detect the effects of a drug administered to the cell culture. This device could find application as a new system for in-vitro electrophysiology, including drugs cardiotoxicity studies. Due to the optical readout scheme, it promises to offer very high spatial resolution, orders of magnitude higher than conventional multi-electrode arrays systems.

Year: 2020

description: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a significant health issue in the present and future worldwide populations, thus implying a crucial role in their risk assessment in primary and secondary prevention. Among the classical risk factors, lipids and lipoproteins serum concentrations are used to estimate the risk of CVD and guide therapeutic decision-making. In the present study, we focused on the prognostic value of the lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], a < 70 nm diameter low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that can freely flux across the endothelial vascular barrier and settle within the arterial wall [1]. Both pathophysiological and prognostic values of Lp(a) remain unclear. Given his structural similarity to plasminogen and the oxidized phospholipid load, Lp(a) shows pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory effects [2]. Lifelong exposure to higher Lp(a) levels were strongly and causally associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in Mendelian randomization studies [3, 4], but observational studies show a weaker association compared with LDL concentration and unclear cut-off [5, 6]. In the present study, the prognostic value of Lp(a) and its correlation with intraplaque features were assessed in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis undergoing endarterectomy (n=180). The cut-off value of 10 mg/dL for serum Lp(a) was selected to predict 24-month follow-up acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Besides, the association between serum Lp(a) and intraplaque lipids, collagen, inflammatory and vascular cells was assessed. Serum Lp(a) levels were measured by nephelometric assay. Patients with high Lp(a) had similar comorbidities, medications and laboratory parameters as compared to low Lp(a) levels. At 24-month follow-up, patients with high Lp(a) had more ACS as compared to low levels. Histological parameters within plaques were comparable in the study groups. No significant correlation between Lp(a) serum levels and intraplaque parameters was found, except for a weak positive association with smooth muscle cells in upstream plaque portions. When adjusted for gender, presence of dyslipidaemia and chronic coronary artery disease, Lp(a) ?10 mg/dL remained predictive for ACS. In conclusion, Lp(a) determination could be useful to predict ACS in patients with severe carotid stenosis.

Advancements in epilepsy surgery at Gaslini Children?s Hospital 2018-2021
Creators: name: PACETTI, MATTIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: The principal aim of the candidate?s course was to advance in the skills of research in the complex and evolving context of therapeutic strategies for medical refractory epilepsy in pediatric age. As a neurosurgeon graduate and consultant, part of a neurosurgical department, the candidate work consisted in two principal field of clinical practice-derived research: surgical treatment of hemispheric epilepsy in young infants and MRI- guided interstitial laser thermotherapy (MRg-LiTT) for refractory epilepsy of different origin. Hemispheric surgery is a subject of great interest as it represents an effective option for severe forms of epilepsy with high neurological morbidity, linked to developmental delay and that could be life-threatening, especially in very young infants. Studies focusing on first infancy are rare and more data are needed in literature. The second topic represents an important innovation in the Giannina?s Gaslini neurosurgical treatment offer. MRg-LiTT is a novel approach for the cure of refractory epilepsy, especially linked to hypothalamic hamartomas, with a significant shift in benefit-risk ratio, giving the opportunity to lower the high neurological morbidity linked to more traditional open-surgery approaches. The technique consists in the stereotactic introduction of a laser diode fiber inside a cerebral epileptogenic region (e.g. hypothalamic hamartomas, tuberous sclerosis, cavernomas, seizure onset zones), that is ablated by the high temperature delivered at the tip of the catheter, protecting the important surrounding structures using a near real-time MRI thermography technology.

description: We discuss the concept of local thermodynamical equilibrium in relativistic hydrodynamics in flat spacetime in a quantum statistical framework without an underlying kinetic description, suitable for strongly interacting fluids. We show that the appropriate definition of local equilibrium naturally leads to the introduction of a relativistic hydrodynamical frame in which the four-velocity vector is the one of a relativistic thermometer at equilibrium with the fluid, parallel to the inverse temperature four-vector β, which then becomes a primary quantity. We show that this frame is the most appropriate for the expansion of stress-energy tensor from local thermodynamical equilibrium and that therein the local laws of thermodynamics take on their simplest form. We discuss the difference between the βframe and Landau frame and present an instance where they differ.

Spin-dependent transport through interacting graphene armchair nanoribbons

Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: We investigate spin effects in transport across fully interacting, finite size graphene armchair nanoribbons (ACNs) contacted to collinearly spin-polarized leads. In such systems, the presence of short ranged Coulomb interaction between bulk states and states localized at the ribbon ends leads to novel spin-dependent phenomena. Specifically, the total spin of the low energy many-body states is conserved during tunneling but that of the bulk and end states is not. As a consequence, in the single-electron regime, dominated by Coulomb blockade phenomena, we find pronounced negative differential conductance features for ACNs contacted to parallel polarized leads. These features are however absent for an anti-parallel contact configuration, which in turn leads within a certain gate and bias voltage region to a negative tunneling magneto-resistance. Moreover, we analyze the changes in the transport characteristics under the influence of an external magnetic field.
Parameter counting for singular monopoles on R^3

description: We compute the dimension of the moduli space of gauge-inequivalent solutions to the Bogomolny equation on R^3 with prescribed singularities corresponding to the insertion of a finite number of 't Hooft defects. We do this by generalizing the methods of C. Callias and E. Weinberg to the case of R^3 with a finite set of points removed. For a special class of Cartan-valued backgrounds we go further and construct an explicit basis of L^2-normalizable zero-modes. Finally we exhibit and study a two-parameter family of spherically symmetric singular monopoles, using the dimension formula to provide a physical interpretation of these configurations. This paper is the first in a series of three on singular monopoles, where we also explore the role they play in the contexts of intersecting D-brane systems and four-dimensional N=2 super Yang-Mills theories.

description: Television shows like The Block and House Rules are fuelling a ‘do it yourself' revolution, and this reserach conforms that older people, people with disabilities and their familes are no exception. This reserach outlines what motivated them and what frustrated them in doing the disability modifications without service supports.
Consumer responses ranked hardware stores as the most utilised or popular place to source information about DIY.The study confirmed in the retail data of at least 15,000 DIY modifications per year, and conservative economic analysis revealed that the annual cost offset to health and aged care services could be as much as $15 million per annum.
The results from the combined data collection support the project's initial premise to develop point of sale resources. It is recommended that further research be conducted into understanding the most effective mechanisms for providing the type of information resources identified as needed by this research to the people who need it most, particularly given the changing nature of home hardware offerings and distribution of knowledge, skill and competences involved in doing DIY.This research forms the objectives for Stage 2 of the DIY Home Modification project being undertaken.

Risk-Based Optimal Scheduling for the Predictive Maintenance of Railway Infrastructure
Creators: name: CONSILVIO, ALICE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: In this thesis a risk-based decision support system to schedule the predictive maintenance activities, is proposed. The model deals with the maintenance planning of a railway infrastructure in which the due-dates are defined via failure risk analysis.The novelty of the approach consists of the risk concept introduction in railway maintenance scheduling, according to ISO 55000 guidelines, thus implying that the maintenance priorities are based on asset criticality, determined taking into account the relevant failure probability, related to asset degradation conditions, and the consequent damages.
