Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis has the potential to be useful for comparisons of complex bacterial communities, especially to detect changes in community structure in response to different variables. To do this successfully, systematic variations have to be detected above method-associated noise, by standardizing data sets and assigning confidence estimates to relationships detected. We investigated the use of different standardizing methods in T-RFLP analysis of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes to elucidate the similarities between the bacterial communities in 17 soil and sediment samples. We developed a robust method for standardizing data sets that appeared to allow detection of similarities between-complex bacterial communities. We term this the variable percentage threshold method. We found that making conclusions about the similarities of complex bacterial communities from T-RFLP profiles generated by a single restriction enzyme (RE) may lead to erroneous conclusions. Instead, the use of multiple REs, each individually, to generate multiple data sets allowed us to determine a confidence estimate for groupings of apparently similar communities and at the same time minimized the effects of RE selection. In conjunction with the variable percentage threshold method, this allowed us to make confident conclusions about the similarities of the complex bacterial communities in the 17 different samples.

description: Network traffic model is a critical problem for urban applications, mainly because of its diversity and node density. As wireless sensor network is highly concerned with the development of smart cities, careful consideration to traffic model helps choose appropriate protocols and adapt network parameters to reach best performances on energy-latency tradeoffs. In this paper, we compare the performance of two off-the-shelf medium access control protocols on two different kinds of traffic models, and then evaluate their application-end information delay and energy consumption while varying traffic parameters and network density. From the simulation results, we highlight some limits induced by network density and occurrence frequency of event-driven applications. When it comes to realtime urban services, a protocol selection shall be taken into account - even dynamically - with a special attention to energy-delay tradeoff. To this end, we provide several insights on parking sensor networks.

While numerous studies have examined N dynamics along a river continuum, few have specifically examined the role of biofilms. Nitrogen dynamics and microbial community structure were determined on biofilms at six sites along a 120km stretch of the lowland Ovens River, South Eastern Australia using artificial Substrates. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), chlorophyll a and protein analyses were used to assess biofilm microbial community composition. N dynamics was determined on the biofilms using the acetylene (C2H2) block technique and assessing changes in NH4+, NOx, and N2O. Unlike microbial community structure, N dynamics were spatially heterogeneous. Nitrification, determined from the difference in accumulation of NH4+ before and after addition of C2H2, occurred mostly in the upper sites with rates up to 1.4 x 10(-5) mol m(-2) h(-1). The highest rates of denitrification occurred in the mid-reaches of the river (with rates up to 1 X 10(-5) mol m(-2) h(-1)) but denitrification was not detected in the lower reaches. At the very most, only 50% of the observed uptake of NOx by the biofilms following addition of C2H2 could be accounted for by denitrification.

A young triple star system with misaligned disk/orbit planes shaped by disk tearing

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We present VLTI+CHARA+VLT+GPI+ALMA observations of GW Orionis, a T Tauri-star triple system with an inner pair (242 day period) and an outer companion (11 year period). We monitored the orbital motion of the stars and derived a full RV+astrometry orbit solution, which reveals that the orbital planes are misaligned with respect to each other. We imaged the circumtriple disc at near-infrared, mid-infrared, and sub-millimetre wavelengths and discovered three rings in thermal light and an asymmetric structure with radial shadows in scattered light. The inner-most ring is eccentric and strongly misaligned both with respect to the orbital planes and with respect to the outer disc. Based on the measured triple star orbits and disc properties, we conducted smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations which show that the system is susceptible to the disc tearing effect.

Foreground removal requirements for measuring large-scale CMB B-modes in light of BICEP2

description: The most convincing confirmation that the B-mode polarization signal detected at degree scales by BICEP2 is due to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) would be the measurement of its large-scale counterpart. We assess the requirements for diffuse component separation accuracy over large portions of the sky in order to measure the large-scale B-mode signal corresponding to a tensor to scalar ratio of r=0.1-0.2. We use the method proposed by Bonaldi & Ricciardi (2011) to forecast the performances of different simulated experiments taking into account noise and foreground removal issues. We do not consider instrumental systematics, and we implicitly assume that they are not the dominant source of error. If this is the case, the confirmation of an r=0.1-0.2 signal is achievable by Planck even for conservative assumptions regarding the accuracy of foreground cleaning. Our forecasts suggest that the combination of this experiment with BICEP2 will lead to an improvement of 25-45% in the constraint on r. A next-generation CMB polarization satellite, represented in this work by the COrE experiment, can reduce dramatically (by almost another order of magnitude) the uncertainty on r. In this case, however, the accuracy of foreground removal becomes critical to fully benefit from the increase in sensitivity.

description: Within the wider debate about the future of religion and the secularization processes in Western societies, so far the intergenerational religious transmission has received little at-tention, especially in Italy. Yet, actually the religious transmission appears to be one of the most crucial factors in the decline of religiosity. Nevertheless, little is known about the dy-namics within families, as well as on the influence of friendships, school, leisure, work,critical and turning points that mark people's lives. This contribution discusses some lines of investigation emerging from an ongoing research, now in its explorative phase. The first part of the article depicts and try to assess the relevance of the subject, presents a brief re-view of national and international literature and describes the methodology used so far. The second part is dedicated to debating some dimensions of analysis that seem to deserve more attention, since thus far little considered, in view of a more precise validation of the hy-potheses.

description: The recent measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies provided by the Planck satellite experiment have significantly improved the constraints on several cosmological parameters. In this brief paper we point out a small but interesting tension present between recent values of the primordial deuterium measured from quasar absorption line systems and the same value inferred, albeit indirectly, from the Planck measurements assuming ΛCDM and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Here we discuss this tension in detail investigating the possible new physics that could be responsible for the tension. We found that, among 8 extra parameters, only an anomalous lensing component and a closed universe could change the Planck constraint towards a better consistency with direct deuterium measurements.

Investigations into the feeding of the early stages of fishes can provide insights into processes influencing recruitment. In this study, we examined ontogenetic changes in morphology and feeding behaviour of two native Australian freshwater species, Murray cod, Maccullochella peelii peelii, and golden perch, Macquaria ambigua, and the alien species, common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Murray cod free embryos are large and well developed at the onset of feeding, whereas the other two species begin exogenous feeding much younger and are smaller and less-developed. Carp commence exogenous feeding 3 days earlier than golden perch, and show more advanced development of the eyes and ingestive apparatus. We conducted feeding experiments, presenting larvae of the three species with a standardised prey mix (comprising equal numbers of small calanoid copepods, large calanoid copepods, small Daphnia, and large Daphnia). Larvae of most tested ages and species showed a preference for mid-sized prey (300-500 µm wide). This was true even when their gapes substantially exceeded the largest prey offered. Daphnia were consumed more than similar-sized copepods. The results of this study suggest that survival through their larval period will be threatened in all three species if catchable prey < 500 µm in width are not available throughout such time. They also suggest that interspecific competition for prey may occur, especially when larvae are very young. The precocious development of structures involved in feeding and the extended transition from endogenous to exogenous feeding of early carp larvae are likely to have contributed to the success of this species since its introduction to Australia.

description: For decades, a subset of carbon-rich WR (WC) stars have been known to actively form dust despite their extreme environments. Although these systems can produce copious amounts of dust, they have been commonly overlooked as significant sources of dust in the ISM of galaxies in the local and early Universe due to the persisting mysteries on their dust formation and the influence of binary companions. In this talk, I will discuss the results and plans from our research program that combines archival data thermal IR observations, new imaging and spectroscopic data from Subaru/COMICS, and approved Early Release Science observations with JWST in Cycle 1. I will highlight our major results that uniquely combine a comprehensive dust SED analysis of Galactic dust-forming WC stars with Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) models and show that WC binaries are early sources and significant sources of dust at LMC-like and solar metallicities in constant star-forming environments.

1. River metabolism was measured over an annual cycle at three sites distributed along a 1000 km length of the lowland Murray River, Australia.2. Whole system metabolism was measured using water column changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations while planktonic and benthic metabolism were partitioned using light-dark bottles and benthic chambers.3. Annual gross primary production (GPP) ranged from 775 to 1126 g O2 m−2 year−1 which in comparison with rivers of similar physical characteristics is moderately productive.4. Community respiration (CR) ranged from 872 to 1284 g O2 m−2 year−1 so that annual net ecosystem production (NEP) was near zero, suggesting photosynthesis and respiration were balanced and that allochthonous organic carbon played a minor role in fuelling metabolism.5. Planktonic rates of gross photosynthesis and respiration were similar to those of the total channel, indicating that plankton were responsible for much of the observed metabolism.6. Respiration rates correlated with phytoplankton standing crop (estimated as the sum of GPP plus the chlorophyll concentration in carbon units), yielding a specific respiration rate of −1.1 g O2 g C−1 day−1. The respiration rate was equivalent to 19% of the maximum rate of phytoplankton photosynthesis, which is typical of diatoms.7. The daily GPP per unit phytoplankton biomass correlated with the mean irradiance of the water column giving a constant carbon specific photon fixation rate of 0.35 gO2 g Chl a−1 day−1 per μmole photons m−2 s−1 (ca. 0.08 per mole photons m−2 on a carbon basis) indicating that light availability determined daily primary production.8. Annual phytoplankton net production (NP) estimates at two sites indicated 25 and 36 g C m−2 year−1 were available to support riverine food webs, equivalent to 6% and 11% of annual GPP.9. Metabolised organic carbon was predominantly derived from phytoplankton and was fully utilised, suggesting that food-web production was restricted by the energy supply.
An Exact Diagonalization Study of the Anisotropic Triangular Lattice Heisenberg Model Using Twisted Boundary Conditions

description: The anisotropic triangular model, which is believed to describe the materials Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$ and Cs$_2$CuBr$_4$, among others, is dominated by incommensurate spiral physics and is thus extremely resistant to numerical analysis on small system sizes. In this paper we use twisted boundary conditions and exact diagonalization techniques to study the phase diagram of this model. With these boundary conditions we are able to extract the inter- and intrachain ordering $q$-vectors for the $\frac{J'}{J} < 1$ region finding very close agreement with recent DMRG results on much larger systems. Our results suggest a phase transition between a long-range incommensurate spiral ordered phase, and a more subtle phase with short-range spiral correlations with the $q$-vector describing the incommensurate correlations varying smoothly through the transition. In the latter phase correlations between next-nearest chains exhibits an extremely close competition between predominantly antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic correlations. Further analysis suggests that the antiferromagnetic next-nearest chain correlations may be slightly stronger than the ferromagnetic ones. This difference is found to be slight but in line with previous renormalization group predictions of a collinear antiferromagnetic ordering in this region.
Lessons learned from NEAR for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets with ELT METIS

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The New Earths in the Alpha Cen Region campaign is a 100-h imaging search for massive rocky planets in the habitable zone of the two stars of Alpha Cen. The program is a collaboration between the Breakthrough Initiatives and ESO and was launched in 2016. To achieve the challenging goal of NEAR, the VLT MIR instrument VISIR was upgraded and installed at UT4 to couple it with the Adaptive Optics Facility. The University of Liege provided an optimized vortex coronagraph and a dedicated pointing control procedure. After a successful commissioning in April and May 2019, the campaign was completed in May-June 2019. It generated >6 TB of data, which are available to the community.

description: We report on the high power amplification of 1064nm linearly-polarized laser in all-fiber polarization-maintained MOPA, which can operate at output power level of 1.3kW. The main amplifier was pumped with six 915nm laser diodes, and the slope efficiency is 65.3%. The beam quality (M2) was measured to be <1.2 at full power operation. The polarization extinction rate of the fiber amplifier was measured to be above 94% before mode instabilities (MI) sets in, which reduced to about 90% after the onset of MI. Power scaling capability of strategies for suppressing MI is analyzed based on a novel semi-analytical model, the theoretical results of which agree with the experimental results. It shows that mitigating MI by coiling the gain fiber is an effective and practical way in standard double-cladding large mode area fiber, and, by tight coiling of the gain fiber to the radius of 5.5cm, the MI threshold can be increased to 3 times higher than that without coiling or loose coiling. Experimental study has been carried out to verify the idea, which has proved that MI was suppressed successfully in the amplifier by tight coiling.

description: In this paper, a Bayesian approach is developed for simultaneously comparing multiple experimental treatments with a common control treatment in an exploratory clinical trial. The sample size is set to ensure that, at the end of the study, there will be at least one treatment for which the investigators have a strong belief that it is better than control, or else they have a strong belief that none of the experimental treatments are substantially better than control. This criterion bears a direct relationship with conventional frequentist power requirements, while allowing prior opinion to feature in the analysis with a consequent reduction in sample size. If it is concluded that at least one of the experimental treatments shows promise, then it is envisaged that one or more of these promising treatments will be developed further in a definitive phase III trial. The approach is developed in the context of normally distributed responses sharing a common standard deviation regardless of treatment. To begin with, the standard deviation will be assumed known when the sample size is calculated. The final analysis will not rely upon this assumption, although the intended properties of the design may not be achieved if the anticipated standard deviation turns out to be inappropriate. Methods that formally allow for uncertainty about the standard deviation, expressed in the form of a Bayesian prior, are then explored. Illustrations of the sample sizes computed from the new method are presented, and comparisons are made with frequentist methods devised for the same situation.

A coherent method for the detection and estimation of continuous gravitational wave signals using a pulsar timing array

description: The use of a high precision pulsar timing array is a promising approach to detecting gravitational waves in the very low frequency regime ($10^{-6} -10^{-9}$ Hz) that is complementary to the ground-based efforts (e.g., LIGO, Virgo) at high frequencies ($\sim 10 -10^3$ Hz) and space-based ones (e.g., LISA) at low frequencies ($10^{-4} -10^{-1}$ Hz). One of the target sources for pulsar timing arrays are individual supermassive black hole binaries that are expected to form in galactic mergers. In this paper, a likelihood based method for detection and estimation is presented for a monochromatic continuous gravitational wave signal emitted by such a source. The so-called pulsar terms in the signal that arise due to the breakdown of the long-wavelength approximation are explicitly taken into account in this method. In addition, the method accounts for equality and inequality constraints involved in the semi-analytical maximization of the likelihood over a subset of the parameters. The remaining parameters are maximized over numerically using Particle Swarm Optimization. Thus, the method presented here solves the monochromatic continuous wave detection and estimation problem without invoking some of the approximations that have been used in earlier studies.

Dome C, Antarctica, an outstanding site for infrared astronomy
Creators: name: Vauglin, Isabelle
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: It has been demonstrated that the atmospheric conditions at Dome C are exceptionally good : the natural seeing ? can reach ? ~ 0.3 arcsec, the isoplanetic angle ? is twice or three times larger than any other observational site, and the background is extremely low in the infrared mainly due to the cold temperatures. The small telescope ASTEP, dedicated to exoplanet search, is already running at Concordia. But to make the best use of these exceptional characteristics, we propose to build a wide-field, high-resolution (~0.3 arcsec using Ground Layer Adaptive Optics) infrared (from 0.8 to 5 µm) off-axis telescope. With such a telescope, we'll have the highest possible dynamic range and angular resolution and wide-field imaging capabilities in the near- and thermal-infrared range to follow up the scientific programmes of extremely large instruments such E-ELT, LSST or Euclid.

Il ruolo del Terzo Settore nelle politiche di riequilibrio territoriale del welfare

description: The Third Sector is assuming an ever greater role in various social spheres, in particular with an increasingly important role in the construction of welfare policies. In 2017 the Third Sector was reformed with a single text, regulating all types of organizations defined “Third Sector Entities (ETS)”. It is possible to identify in the contents of the reform an at-tempt to link ETS and welfare, as well as between welfare policies and territorial imbal-ances. However, at the moment it seems that the ETS are not playing a decisive role of agents of change. Rethinking local social policies with an active role of the ETS and tracing new profiles is strategic for the future of the welfare state in Italy.

description: String theories suggest the existence of a plethora of axion-like fields with masses spread over a huge number of decades. Here we show that these ideas lend themselves to a model of quintessence with no super-Planckian field excursions and in which all dimensionless numbers are order unity. The scenario addresses the "why now" problem, i.e., why has accelerated expansion begun only recently, by suggesting that the onset of dark-energy domination occurs randomly with a slowly decreasing probability per unit logarithmic interval in cosmic time. The standard axion potential requires us to postulate a rapid decay of most of the axion fields that do no become dark energy. The need for these decays is averted, though, with the introduction of a slightly modified axion potential. In either case, a Universe like ours arises in roughly 1 in 100 universes. The scenario may have a host of observable consequences.

The contribution of microbunching instability to solar flare emission in the GHz to THz range of frequencies

description: Recent solar flare observations in the sub-THz range have provided evidence of a new spectral component with fluxes increasing for larger frequencies, separated from the well-known microwave emission that maximizes in the GHz range. Suggested interpretations explain the THz spectral component, but do not account for the simultaneous microwave component. We present a mechanism for producing the observed double-spectra. Based on coherent enhancement of synchrotron emission at long wavelengths in laboratory accelerators, we consider how similar processes may occur within a solar flare. The instability known as microbunching arises from perturbations that produce electron beam density modulations, giving rise to broadband coherent synchrotron emission at wavelengths comparable to the characteristic size of the microbunch structure. The spectral intensity of this coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) can far exceed that of the incoherent synchrotron radiation (ISR), which peaks at higher frequency, thus producing a double-peaked spectrum. Successful CSR simulations are shown to fit actual burst spectral observations, using typical flaring physical parameters and power-law energy distributions for the accelerated electrons. The simulations consider an energy threshold below which microbunching is not possible because of Coulomb repulsion. Only a small fraction of the radiating charges accelerated to energies above the threshold is required to produce the microwave component observed for several events. The ISR-CSR mechanism can occur together with other emission processes producing the microwave component. It may bring an important contribution at microwaves at least for certain events where physical conditions for the occurrence of the ISR-CSR microbunching mechanism are possible.
