description: Many real systems, represented using complex networks, often exhibit intrinsic dynamism that uncovers fundamental properties. This thesis explores various aspects of such dynamism through the lens of maximum entropy formalism, presenting methodologies that effectively characterize and harness this aspect. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part develops a novel maximum entropy model to characterize memory effects and structural heterogeneity in temporal networks. This model captures the evolution of network connections over time, focusing on how nodes create and maintain links. Utilizing this model, the research uncovers topological patterns, such as community structures, emphasizing the role of memory mechanisms in encoding network properties. The second part shifts focus to ecological networks, emphasizing system fluctuations for modeling and predictive analysis. Here, maximum entropy formalism is shown to be a tool capable of constructing models that incorporate significant fluctuations in system characteristics. These models are then shown to enhance pattern detection, particularly emphasizing the ecological contexts. Finally, I discuss how this approach can be used to define a new perspective on the diversity-stability debate by linking entropy with system stability and demonstrating how, through the Fluctuation Response Relation, properly characterized fluctuations can predict systems’ response to perturbations.

description: Recently there has been progress on the computation of two- and three-point correlation functions with two "heavy" states via semiclassical methods. We extend this analysis to the case of AdS_4 x CP^3, and examine the suggested procedure for the case of several simple string solutions. By making use of AdS/CFT duality, we derive the relevant correlation functions of operators belonging to the dual N=6 Chern-Simons gauge theory.

description: The paper analyses the results of a survey, conducted on Italian teachers in the 2018/2019 school year. The survey aimed to investigate the point of view of mathematics teachers regarding the features of mathematics textbooks used in class and the ideal features that a mathematics textbook should have. In this paper, we focus on two topics: the general degree of satisfaction of the textbook used by the teacher with its motivation and the type of use of this textbook. We report and analyse the answers to two questions addressed to primary school teachers, who filled in the survey on a voluntary basis. The results seem to show a coherent scenario, in which both the positive and the negative aspects of mathematics textbooks highlighted by the teachers are in line with the use they declared. Grado di soddisfazione e utilizzo del libro di testo di matematica da parte dei docenti di scuola primaria italiana. L’articolo analizza alcuni dei risultati emersi da un questionario somministrato nell’anno accademico 2018/2019, volto ad indagare il punto di vista dei docenti di scuola primaria e secondaria di primo grado riguardo alle caratteristiche dei libri scolastici di matematica adottati in classe e a quelle che dovrebbe avere un testo ideale. In questo contributo vengono analizzate due tematiche trattate nel questionario: il grado di soddisfazione generale del libro di testo adottato dall’insegnante con la relativa motivazione e il tipo di utilizzo di tale testo. In particolare, vengono riportate e analizzate le risposte a due domande dei docenti di scuola primaria, i quali hanno compilato il questionario su base volontaria. Dai risultati sembra emergere un quadro coerente, nel quale gli aspetti positivi o negativi riscontrati nei libri di testo adottati dai docenti risultano essere in linea con l’utilizzo che viene poi dichiarato.

A proposed paradigm shift for surrogate decision-making in ICU
Creators: name: Byram, Adrian Cyrus
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Each year four million adults in North America require a surrogate to make decisions for them after being admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). These decisions frequently involve the limitation of life-sustaining treatments. The current paradigm for making these decisions requires surrogates to rely first on any advance directives from the patient, then on the surrogate’s substituted judgment, and finally on best interests as judged by a reasonable person. Since this paradigm emerged 40 years ago, hundreds of research studies have revealed conceptual and operational deficiencies with it and have documented the harms it may cause to patients, surrogates, and medical professionals. The accumulated weight of these studies motivates the central research question of my dissertation: What shifts to the current paradigm for surrogate decision-making might alleviate its clinical and ethical deficiencies? I address this question as an interdisciplinary neuroethics scholar relying on the research methods of interpretive description and qualitative metasynthesis to organize the accumulated evidence into pragmatic recommendations. This work required three separate but linked studies. In Study #1 I mined research on surrogates’ experiences to identify factors that influence their decision-making. In Study #2 I synthesized research on surrogate-professional relationships to identify gaps and conflicts between the decision factors from Study #1 and surrogate-professional interactions. In Study #3 I analyzed all seven editions of Beauchamp and Childress’ Principles of Biomedical Ethics (1979 to 2013), charting the evolution of bioethical thought regarding incompetent patients, and linking these changes to the results of studies #1 and #2. The findings from these studies informed three changes I propose to the paradigm and practice of surrogate decision-making in ICU. My proposal integrates the decision standard of individual best interests, a standardized values portrait capturing the critical values underlying each patient’s individual best interests, and an interest-specific/time-limited decision protocol. Future work will be needed to test the validity and effectiveness of these changes individually and as an integrated solution. Ultimately, the changes I propose are designed to enhance the consistency, continuity, and coordination of care for decisionally incapacitated ICU patients and to yield substantial benefits to surrogate decision-makers and medical professionals.

description: The article describes the application of the teaching strategy based on the peer-review process in the course of Computer Science with a high number of students in the Degree Course of Medicine at the University of Florence. Learners were asked to produce a paper by choosing from a list of topics about Biomedical Informatics. Subsequently, each learner reviewed and analyzed the papers produced by three peers and, applying the same criteria, assessed their own. At the end, an anonymous satisfaction questionnaire about peer-review was administered. In addition to the learning results related to the course, the responses to the questionnaire were analyzed. The peer-review was appreciated by the students so much that they hoped for its replication in other courses of the same Degree Course. The most valuable papers were selected by the teachers to be collected in a volume which was used as reference book in the following academic years.

Ai discenti è stato richiesto di produrre un elaborato scegliendo tra un elenco di argomenti di Informatica Biomedica. Successivamente ciascun discente ha revisionato e analizzato gli elaborati prodotti da tre pari e, applicando gli stessi criteri, valutato il proprio. Al termine delle attività è stato somministrato un questionario anonimo di gradimento relativo all’attività di peer-review. Oltre ai risultati di apprendimento relativi al corso sono state analizzate le risposte ai questionari di gradimento, da cui è emerso come la metodologia didattica peer-review sia stata apprezzata dagli studenti tanto da auspicarne la replicazione in altri insegnamenti del medesimo Corso di Laurea. Gli elaborati di maggiore pregio sono stati selezionati dagli Autori per essere raccolti in un volume che è stato utilizzato come testo di riferimento negli anni accademici successivi.

The fallacy of Oppenheimer Snyder Collapse: no general relativistic Collapse at all, no black hole, no physical singularity
Creators: name: Mitra, Abhas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By applying Birkhoff's theorem to the problem of the general relativistic collapse of a uniform density dust, we directly show that the density of the dust $ρ=0$ even when its proper number density $n$ would be assumed to be finite! The physical reason behind this exact result can be traced back to the observation of Arnowitt et al. that the gravitational mass of a neutral point particle is zero: $m=0$ (PRL, 4, 375, 1960). And since, a dust is a mere collection of {\em neutral point particles, unlike a continuous hydrodynamic fluid}, its density $ρ= m n=0$. It is nonetheless found that for $k=-1$, a homogeneous dust can collapse and expand special relativistically in the fashion of a Milne universe. Thus, in reality, general relativistic homogeneous dust collapse does not lead to the formation of any black hole in conformity of many previous studies (Logunov, Mestverishvili, Kiselev, Phys.Part.Nucl. 37, 317, 2006; Kisevev, Logunov & Mestvirishvili, Theor. Math. Phys., 164, 972, 2010; Mitra, J. Math. Phys. 50, 042502, 2009; Suggett, J. Phys. A, 12, 375 1979). Interestingly, this result is in agreement with the intuition of Oppenheimer & Snyder (Phys. Rev. 56, p.456, 1939) too: "Physically such a singularity would mean that the expressions used for the energy-momentum tensor does not take into account some essential physical fact which would really smooth the singularity out. Further, a star in its early stages of development would not possess a singular density or pressure, it is impossible for a singularity to develop in a finite time."

description: Correlation function and mutual information are two powerful tools to characterize the correlations in a quantum state of a composite system, widely used in many-body physics and in quantum information science, respectively. We find that these two tools may give different conclusions about the order of the degrees of correlation in two specific two-qubit states. This result implies that the orderings of bipartite quantum states according to the degrees of correlation depend on which correlation measure we adopt.

description: Durch die Covid-19-Pandemie und den Ukraine- Krieg sind den Kommunen erhebliche finanzielle Mehrbelastungen in Form von zusätzlichen Aufwendungen und Mindererträgen entstanden. Das Land NRW hatte daher mit dem „Gesetz zur Isolierung der aus der Covid-19-Pandemie folgenden Belastungen der kommunalen Haushalte im Land Nordrhein-Westfalen (NKF-COVID-19- Isolierungsgesetz – NKF-CIG)“ vom 29. September 2020 beschlossen, befristet die Aufstellung der Haushalte zu erleichtern und finanzielle Mehrbelastungen bilanziell zu „isolieren“. Mit dem ersten Änderungsgesetz vom 1. Dezember 2021 wurden die Regelungen überarbeitet und der Geltungszeitraum verlängert. Mit dem zweiten Änderungsgesetz vom 9. Dezember 2022 erfolgte eine sachliche und zeitliche Erweiterung. Gleichzeitig wurde das Gesetz umbenannt, um die sachliche Erweiterung um die finanziellen Mehrbelastungen aus dem Ukraine-Krieg zu verdeutlichen (NKF-CUIG). Unser Positionspapier setzt sich in einem ersten Schritt kritisch mit der bilanziellen „Isolierung“ dieser finanziellen Mehrbelastungen mittels Bilanzierungshilfe auseinander und identifiziert sowohl die Herausforderungen bei der genauen Bestimmung dieser finanziellen Mehrbelastungen als auch die Anwendungsprobleme bei der Bildung, dem Ausweis und der Bewertung dieser Bilanzierungshilfe im kommunalen Jahresabschluss. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die Auswirkungen der Bilanzierung einer solchen Bilanzierungshilfe auf die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses eingehend untersucht und kritisch diskutiert. In einem dritten Schritt wird eine rechtspolitische Bewertung des NKF-CUIG vorgenommen. Zusammenfassend ist festzuhalten, dass eine „Hilfe“, wie sie der Begriff der Bilanzierungshilfe im pragmatischen Sprachgebrauch suggeriert, in keiner Weise festzustellen ist. Auch in Zukunft ist mit Situationen zu rechnen, die der Covid-Pandemie und dem Ukraine-Krieg vergleichbar sind. Auch dann könnten finanzielle Mehrbelastungen die rechtliche Handlungsfähigkeit der Kommunen gefährden. Um diese zu erhalten, sollten vom Landesgesetzgeber jedoch andere Maßnahmen als die Aktivierung einer Bilanzierungshilfe in Betracht gezogen werden. Die alternativen Maßnahmen sollten einerseits den Besonderheiten der historischen Situation und dem Ziel des Erhalts der rechtlichen Handlungsfähigkeit der Kommunen gerecht werden. Sie sollten gleichzeitig aber auch Systembrüche in der Doppik und im Haushaltsrecht sowie unnötige Bürokratielasten vermeiden.

Structural evolution of Re (0001) thin films grown on Nb (110) surfaces by molecular beam epitaxy

description: The heteroepitaxial growth of Re (0001) films on Nb (110) surfaces has been investigated. Nb/Re bilayers were grown on A-plane sapphire -- alpha-Al2O3 (11-20) -- by molecular beam epitaxy. While Re grew with a (0001) surface, the in-plane epitaxial relationship with the underlying Nb could be best described as a combination of Kurdjumov-Sachs and Nishiyama-Wassermann orientations. This relationship was true regardless of Re film thickness. However, an evolution of the surface morphology with increasing Re thickness was observed, indicative of a Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. Re (0001) layers less than 15 nm thick were atomically smooth, with a typical rms roughness of less than 0.5 nm, while thicker films showed granular surface structures. And despite the presence of a substantial lattice misfit, the Re layer strain diminished rapidly and the Re lattice was fully relaxed by about 20 nm. The strain-free and atomically smooth surface of thin Re overlayers on Nb is ideal for the subsequent epitaxial growth of ultra-thin oxide tunnel barriers. Utilizing bcc/hcp (or bcc/fcc) heteroepitaxial pairs in advanced multi-layer stacks may enable the growth of all-epitaxial superconductor/insulator/superconductor trilayers for Josephson junction-based devices and circuits.

A Beaming-Independent Estimate of the Energy Distribution of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts: Initial Results and Future Prospects

description: We present single-epoch radio afterglow observations of 24 long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) on a timescale of >100 d after the burst. These observations trace the afterglow evolution when the blastwave has decelerated to mildly- or non-relativistic velocities and has roughly isotropized. We infer beaming-independent kinetic energies using the Sedov-Taylor self-similar solution, and find a median value for the sample of detected bursts of about 7x10^51 erg, with a 90% confidence range of 1.1x10^50-3.3x10^53 erg. Both the median and 90% confidence range are somewhat larger than the results of multi-wavelength, multi-epoch afterglow modeling (including large beaming corrections), and the distribution of beaming-corrected gamma-ray energies. This is due to bursts in our sample with only a single-frequency observation for which we can only determine an upper bound on the peak of the synchrotron spectrum. This limitation leads to a wider range of allowed energies than for bursts with a well-measured spectral peak. Our study indicates that single-epoch centimeter-band observations covering the spectral peak on a timescale of ~1 yr can provide a robust estimate of the total kinetic energy distribution with a small investment of telescope time. The substantial increase in bandwidth of the EVLA (up to 8 GHz simultaneously with full coverage at 1-40 GHz) will provide the opportunity to estimate the kinetic energy distribution of GRBs with only a few hours of data per burst.

description: The issue of plastic waste in Mekar Sari village has become an increasingly serious environmental concern, as the amount of plastic waste continues to rise alongside changes in lifestyle and consumption patterns of the community. Poorly managed plastic waste can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health. Therefore, innovative solutions are needed through a program that utilizes plastic waste to create paving blocks. This program aims to reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment and to enhance the skills and knowledge of the community in managing plastic waste, thereby increasing their economic value and well-being. The methods used in this service include observation, socialization, and training in the production of paving blocks from plastic waste for the local community. The results of this program show that the community of Mekar Sari Village has successfully utilized plastic waste, which was previously just garbage, into economically valuable products in the form of paving blocks. In addition, the community has become more aware of the importance of protecting the environment, as seen in their increased participation in various cleanliness and environmental preservation programs.

The momentum of each of the massive quarks is expressed as the sum of two massless momenta and the corresponding heavy quark spinor is expressed as a sum of two massless spinors. Using a special choice for the heavy quark spinors we obtain analytic expressions for the one-loop amplitudes which are amenable to fast numerical evaluation. The full next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of hadron+hadron \to W(\to e nu) b b-bar with massive b-quarks is included in the program MCFM.

description: The CoRoT mission has provided thousands of red-giant light curves. The analysis of their solar-like oscillations allows us to characterize their stellar properties. Up to now, the global seismic parameters of the pressure modes remain unable to distinguish red-clump giants from members of the red-giant branch. As recently done with Kepler red giants, we intend to analyze and use the so-called mixed modes to determine the evolutionary status of the red giants observed with CoRoT. We also aim at deriving different seismic characteristics depending on evolution. The complete identification of the pressure eigenmodes provided by the red-giant universal oscillation pattern allows us to aim at the mixed modes surrounding the l=1 expected eigenfrequencies. A dedicated method based on the envelope autocorrelation function is proposed to analyze their period separation. We have identified the mixed-mode signature separation thanks to their pattern compatible with the asymptotic law of gravity modes. We have shown that, independent of any modelling, the g-mode spacings help to distinguish the evolutionary status of a red-giant star. We then report different seismic and fundamental properties of the stars, depending on their evolutionary status. In particular, we show that high-mass stars of the secondary clump present very specific seismic properties. We emphasize that stars belonging to the clump were affected by significant mass loss. We also note significant population and/or evolution differences in the different fields observed by CoRoT.

description: Holographic superconductors have been studied so far in the absence of dynamical electromagnetic fields, namely in the limit in which they coincide with holographic superfluids. It is possible, however, to introduce dynamical gauge fields if a Neumann-type boundary condition is imposed on the AdS-boundary. In 3+1 dimensions, the dual theory is a 2+1 dimensional CFT whose spectrum contains a massless gauge field, signaling the emergence of a gauge symmetry. We study the impact of a dynamical gauge field in vortex configurations where it is known to significantly affect the energetics and phase transitions. We calculate the critical magnetic fields H_c1 and H_c2, obtaining that holographic superconductors are of Type II (H_c1 < H_c2). We extend the study to 4+1 dimensions where the gauge field does not appear as an emergent phenomena, but can be introduced, by a proper renormalization, as an external dynamical field. We also compare our predictions with those arising from a Ginzburg-Landau theory and identify the generic properties of Abrikosov vortices in holographic models.

Conservation ecology of a unique population of lake chub (Cyprinidae: Couesius plumbeus) : population size, movement ecology, habitat use and potential interactions with the exotic cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. red)
Creators: name: DeBruyn, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This research investigated a population of lake chub (Couesius plumbeus) inhabiting a geothermal spring complex south of the community of Atlin, in the far northwest of British Columbia. These lake chub live in thermal isolation in 13-26°C water year round, while the only neighbouring water body, glacier-fed Atlin Lake, remains below 6°C year round and has no known population of lake chub. Through mark-recapture sampling I estimated the population size of this isolated and physiologically distinct population to be on the order of 1,000 to 2,000 mature individuals. I measured its area of occupancy as 3,602m². As such, the population is small in both habitat extent and population size, as well as being physically isolated from other populations of this widespread species. Tagging of fish in individual sections of the warm springs showed a general lack of movement among different sites. Size-frequency histograms for individual sites and points in time illustrated the presence of distinct cohorts suggesting lifespans of three to four years, with outliers living a year or two longer. I also studied the invasive cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. red), performing experiments to observe survivorship and behaviour under different temperature regimes. I found no significant decrease in mortality in adults when water was cooled to 5°C, but a significant reduction in their ability to react to stimuli below 15°C. I also observed 100% mortality in juveniles at water temperatures of 10°C or lower within two days. Based on these data, barring future adaptation to considerably colder conditions, is unlikely that cherry shrimp will be able to expand their range further into the Yukon River basin. Overall, my study provides a baseline of understanding about the population and life history of an isolated warm-springs population of lake chub, and provides observations of the early stages and probable outcomes of an exotic species invading an isolated location.

description: We calculate transmission eigenvalue distributions for Pt-benzene-Pt and Pt-butadiene-Pt junctions using realistic state-of-the-art many-body techniques. An effective field theory of interacting $π$-electrons is used to include screening and van der Waals interactions with the metal electrodes. We find that the number of dominant transmission channels in a molecular junction is equal to the degeneracy of the molecular orbital closest to the metal Fermi level.

description: We report on the performance of our cold-dark matter cosmological N-body simulation which was carried out concurrently using supercomputers across the globe. We ran simulations on 60 to 750 cores distributed over a variety of supercomputers in Amsterdam (the Netherlands, Europe), in Tokyo (Japan, Asia), Edinburgh (UK, Europe) and Espoo (Finland, Europe). Regardless the network latency of 0.32 seconds and the communication over 30.000 km of optical network cable we are able to achieve about 87% of the performance compared to an equal number of cores on a single supercomputer. We argue that using widely distributed supercomputers in order to acquire more compute power is technically feasible, and that the largest obstacle is introduced by local scheduling and reservation policies.

description: The Hypogeum of Hal-Saflieni is a 6000 year old Neolithic burial place whose microclimate is threatened by the presence of thousands of visitors all year round. Beyond digital preservation and accessibility, this project aims to provide a highly accessible experience to the virtual tourist or academic. This short paper reports on progress in faithful illumination and acoustics together with navigation aids supported by a real motion platform towards a mixed reali-ty immersive experience. Lightweight variations such as a 360˚ VR film and a 360˚ still-based gaze-driven navigation mobile app further make such precious cultural heritage available to the wider public and serve as a basis for future en-hancements towards a more immersive virtual cultural heritage experience.

description: We demonstrate that the electric field enhancement that occurs in a gap between two closely spaced nanostructures, such as metallic nanoparticles, is the result of a transverse electromagnetic waveguide mode. We derive an explicit semianalytic equation for the enhancement as a function of gap size, which we show has a universal qualitative behavior in that it applies irrespective of the material or geometry of the nanostructures and even in the presence of surface plasmons. Examples of perfect electrically conducting and Ag thin-wire antennas and a dimer of Ag spheres are presented and discussed.
