description: A new Hardy space Hardy space approach of Dirichlet type problem based on Tikhonov regularization and Reproducing Hilbert kernel space is discussed in this paper, which turns out to be a typical extremal problem located on the upper upper-high complex plane. If considering this in the Hardy space, the optimization operator of this problem will be highly simplified and an efficient algorithm is possible. This is mainly realized by the help of reproducing properties of the functions in the Hardy space of upper-high complex plane, and the detail algorithm is proposed. Moreover, harmonic mappings, which is a significant geometric transformation, are commonly used in many applications such as image processing, since it describes the energy minimization mappings between individual manifolds. Particularly, when we focus on the planer mappings between two Euclid planer regions, the harmonic mappings are exist and unique, which is guaranteed solidly by the existence of harmonic function. This property is attractive and simulation results are shown in this paper to ensure the capability of applications such as planer shape distortion and surface registration.

description: The central aim of the project "STEM Outreach: Interdisciplinary, Hands-on, and Inclusive" was to provide accessible science communication in the STEM field. The project demonstrated through four work packages how science communication with a focus on STEM can be successfully implemented at various levels.
Traditional science communication, such as podcasts, publications, or lectures, typically targets an already science-affine audience. In contrast, the project "STEM Outreach: Interdisciplinary, Hands-on, and Inclusive" aims to engage so-called "hard-to-reach groups" – such as youth in disadvantaged neighborhoods, job seekers, and migrants.
This goal was achieved through the interdisciplinary design of the subprojects, a target group-specific approach, the use of appropriate (scientific) language, and the active involvement of institutions working with non-scientific audiences. Addressing the specific needs of the target group was essential for the project's success.
For example, the subproject "The Basics of IT" used personas to represent different target groups. The subproject "Communicating Citizen Science" collaborated with organizations that, in addition to the project leaders, have experience working with educationally disadvantaged groups. In the "Art&Science Hub," participating researchers and artists were prepared for working with youth through workshops. In the subproject “Further Development and Implementation of STEM Teaching Prototypes” at the UAS Technikum Wien, female high school students took part in workshops on quantum encryption, programming and microcosm research and learned about the benefits of planting and the challenges and possibilities of generating renewable energy in urban environments.
Through this comprehensive and targeted approach, the project "STEM Outreach: Interdisciplinary, Hands-on, and Inclusive" makes a significant contribution to inclusive science communication and demonstrates how barriers can be broken down and diverse target groups can be successfully engaged in STEM topics.

description: We demonstrate that an integrated silicon microring resonator is capable of efficiently producing photon pairs that are completely unentangled; such pairs are a key component of heralded single photon sources. A dual-channel interferometric coupling scheme can be used to independently tune the quality factors associated with the pump and signal and idler modes, yielding a biphoton wavefunction with Schmidt number arbitrarily close to unity. This will permit the generation of heralded single photon states with unit purity.

description: In this work, a novel ring polymer representation for multi-level quantum system is proposed for thermal average calculations. The proposed presentation keeps the discreteness of the electronic states: besides position and momentum, each bead in the ring polymer is also characterized by a surface index indicating the electronic energy surface. A path integral molecular dynamics with surface hopping (PIMD-SH) dynamics is also developed to sample the equilibrium distribution of ring polymer configurational space. The PIMD-SH sampling method is validated theoretically and by numerical examples.

Entropy evolution of moving mirrors and the information loss problem

description: We investigate the entanglement entropy and the information flow of two-dimensional moving mirrors. Here we point out that various mirror trajectories can help to mimic different candidate resolutions to the information loss paradox following the semi-classical quantum field theory: (i) a suddenly stopping mirror corresponds to the assertion that all information is attached to the last burst, (ii) a slowly stopping mirror corresponds to the assertion that thermal Hawking radiation carries information, and (iii) a long propagating mirror corresponds to the remnant scenario. Based on such analogy, we find that the last burst of a black hole cannot contain enough information, while slowly emitting radiation can restore unitarity. For all cases, there is an apparent inconsistency between the picture based on quantum entanglements and that based on the semi-classical quantum field theory. Based on the quantum entanglement theory, a stopping mirror will generate a firewall-like violent emission which is in conflict with notions based on the semi-classical quantum field theory.

description: We present an analytical solution for the projectile coplanar motion under constant drag parametrised by the velocity angle. We found the locus formed by the apices of the projectile trajectories. The range and time of flight are obtained numerically and we find that the optimal launching angle is smaller than in the free drag case. This is a good example of problems with constant dissipation of energy that includes curvature, and it is proper for intermediate courses of mechanics.

description: The Australian Seismological Reference Model (AuSREM) represents a state-of-the-art geophysical synthesis of the Australian continent. To date, its shear-wave component has limited resolution at lower-crustal to uppermost-mantle depths, where it is mainly constrained by sparse measurements collected at the local scale. In this study, we compile a large data set of surface-wave phase velocities based on seismic ambient noise and teleseismic earthquakes, to produce Rayleigh and Love phase-velocity maps of continental Australia in a broad period range (4–200 s). Via transdimensional Bayesian inversion, we translate the phase-velocity maps into a 3-D shear-wave velocity model extending to 300 km depth. Owing to the unprecedented seismic coverage and to the joint use of ambient-noise and teleseismic data, the retrieved model fills a tomographic gap in the known shear-wave velocity structure of the continent, comprising lower-crustal to uppermost mantle depths. Consistent with AuSREM, strong velocity heterogeneities in our model highlight the (faster) cratonic blocks and the (slower) sedimentary basins at upper-crustal depths. At mantle depths, the most prominent feature of the continent is a large-scale eastward decrease in shear-wave velocity. We interpret our observations in light of the relevant literature, and produce depth maps of the Moho and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB). Notably, our LAB proxy features a stripe of thicker lithosphere extending to the east coast, which is not visible in the AuSREM LAB model. This observation supports the idea that lateral variations in lithospheric thickness control both the composition and volume of surface volcanism in eastern Australia.
A SYSTEMS BIOLOGY APPROACH TO STUDY THE DYNAMICS OF MEMBRANE MICRODOMAINS IN MALARIA PARASITES.
Creators: name: SFERRA, GABRIELLA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: In recent years, several computational methods have been developed to predict protein-protein interactions at a genome-wide level. Among them, a Bayesian approach has been proposed to integrate ?-omics? data from diverse sources, and reconstruct probabilistic global interactomes. In order to apply this method to Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent agent of the human malaria, we generated novel genomic data sets and gene expression profiles. In particular, we performed a re-assessment of the phylogenetic profile method proposing a new strategy to select reference genomes and adopting a novel measure of similarity. We also produced a new set of rosetta stone data on the basis of a large number of non-redundant genomes used as a reference set. Furthermore, diverse transcriptomic data have been organized to obtain gene expression profiles covering the entire intra-erythrocytic Plasmodium life-cycle. All data were then integrated to predict a global P. falciparum protein-protein interaction network. To gain insights on function and dynamics of specialized membrane compartments (lipid rafts), during P. falciparum development, we filtered our global interactome with stage-specific lipid raft proteomic data. Functional and topological studies of the obtained stage-specific interactomes were undertaken. Our results revealed a conserved subnetwork, the lipid raft ?functional core?, involved in fundamental parasite processes and dynamic clusters populated of stage-specific proteins, responsible for remodeling of lipid raft organization.
From the “Green Turn” to the Recognition of an Autonomous Right to a Healthy Environment: Achievements and Challenges in the Practice of UN Treaty Bodies

description: Since the end of the 2010s, some of the UN human rights treaty bodies have affirmed and enhanced states’ obligations in relation to the environment. This “green turn,” deeply influenced by the jurisprudence of the regional human rights tribunals and the work of UN Special Procedures, raises the question of the potential recognition of an autonomous right to a healthy environment—that is, a free-standing right that is not primarily derived from existing human rights. The claim of this essay is that in the absence of a clear mandate from states to the treaty bodies to monitor the implementation of the right, its symbolic affirmation will have only limited impact. Inspired by the discussions at the Council of Europe on the adoption of a new Protocol to the European Convention of Human Rights, states at the UN level should go further and work toward a binding protocol. However, this raises the difficult issue of connecting the right to civil and political rights, to economic, social, and cultural rights, or to a specific instrument such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Ultimately, this essay reflects the shortcomings of the binary approach separating human rights into hermetic categories.
EPIGENETIC MARKS AND PATHOLOGICAL FEATURES ASSOCIATED TO MUTANT C9ORF72 GENE IN AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS: AN IN VITRO STUDY IN PATIENT-DERIVED INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND MOTOR NEURONS
Creators: name: VOLPE, CLARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2020

description: The expansion of the hexanucleotide repeat sequence GGGGCC (>30 repeats) in the first intron of C9ORF72 gene is the main genetic cause of two neurodegenerative diseases: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The 5? promoter of C9ORF72 gene has been found hypermethylated in 30% of C9ORF72 positive (C9+) ALS/FTLD patients and never in unexpanded patients and healthy controls. Promoter methylation seems to have a neuroprotective role from RNA toxicity and RAN translated dipeptide repeats (DPRs). The aim of this study has been to characterize C9+ ALS patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and differentiated motor neurons (iPSC-MN) correlating epigenetic marks of gene promoter and of the GC-rich repeat expansion (HRE) to C9ORF72-related pathological features (gene expression, RNA foci and DPRs). We initially studied 3 different C9+ iPSC lines which were cultured for up to 40 passages in vitro and, at each timepoint (10th, 20th, 30th and 40th passage), DNA was extracted for genetic and epigenetic characterization, RNA was obtained for Q-PCR analyses and slides were fixed for C9ORF72 RNA foci count. C9+ iPSCs were also differentiated into motor neurons for three times and iPSC-MNs were harvested for the same molecular characterization as for iPSCs. We observed a down-regulation of the two HRE-harboring mRNA isoforms (V1 and V3) both in iPSCs and iPSC-MNs when the promoter was methylated, while RNA foci number showed no correlation with methylation state. Moreover, we found that the epigenetic pattern of promoter methylation could change after C9+ iPSC reprogramming and through differentiation into iPSC-MNs. When we extended our analysis to a cohort of 8 different C9+ iPSC lines, we observed that both epigenetic marks and HRE length may influence RNA foci formation. Our study reports for the first time in C9+ iPSC and iPSC-MNs that promoter methylation can be considered a possible therapeutic target and corroborates that patient-derived cells represent a suitable model for further studies on C9ORF72-related neurodegeneration.

description: We study timelike and null geodesics in a non-singular black hole metric proposed by Hayward. The metric contains an additional length-scale parameter $\ell$ and approaches the Schwarzschild metric at large radii while approaches a constant at small radii so that the singularity is resolved. We tabulate the various critical values of $\ell$ for timelike and null geodesics: the critical values for the existence of horizon, marginally stable circular orbit and photon sphere. We find the photon sphere exists even if the horizon is absent and two marginally stable circular orbits appear if the photon sphere is absent and a stable circular orbit for photons exists for a certain range of $\ell$. We visualize the image of a black hole and find that blight rings appear even if the photon sphere is absent.

description: Studying mechanisms of bacterial biofilm generation is of vital importance to understanding bacterial cell–cell communication, multicellular cohabitation principles, and the higher resilience of microorganisms in a biofilm against antibiotics. Biofilms of the nonpathogenic, gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis serve as a model system with biotechnological potential toward plant protection. Its major extracellular matrix protein components are TasA and TapA. The nature of TasA filaments has been of debate, and several forms, amyloidic and non-Thioflavin T-stainable have been observed. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of TapA and uncover the mechanism of TapA-supported growth of nonamyloidic TasA filaments. By analytical ultracentrifugation and NMR, we demonstrate TapA-dependent acceleration of filament formation from solutions of folded TasA. Solid-state NMR revealed intercalation of the N-terminal TasA peptide segment into subsequent protomers to form a filament composed of β-sandwich subunits. The secondary structure around the intercalated N-terminal strand β0 is conserved between filamentous TasA and the Fim and Pap proteins, which form bacterial type I pili, demonstrating such construction principles in a gram-positive organism. Analogous to the chaperones of the chaperone-usher pathway, the role of TapA is in donating its N terminus to serve for TasA folding into an Ig domain-similar filament structure by donor-strand complementation. According to NMR and since the V-set Ig fold of TapA is already complete, its participation within a filament beyond initiation is unlikely. Intriguingly, the most conserved residues in TasA-like proteins (camelysines) of Bacillaceae are located within the protomer interface.

description: This paper presents a three dimensional collision avoidance approach for aerial vehicles inspired by coordinated behaviors in biological groups. The proposed strategy aims to enable a group of vehicles to converge to a common destination point avoiding collisions with each other and with moving obstacles in their environment. The interaction rules lead the agents to adapt their velocity vectors through a modification of the relative bearing angle and the relative elevation. Moreover the model satisfies the limited field of view constraints resulting from individual perception sensitivity. From the proposed individual based model, a mean-field kinetic model is derived. Simulations are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

description: Software engineering is a field with strong geographic concentration, with Silicon Valley as the epitome of a tech cluster. Yet, most studies on the productivity effects of agglomerations measure innovation with patent data, thus capturing only a fraction of the industry's activity. With data from the open source platform GitHub, our study contributes an alternative proxy for productivity, complementing the literature by covering a broad range of software engineering. With user activity data covering the years 2015 to 2021, we relate cluster size to an individual's productivity. Our findings suggest that physical proximity to a large number of other knowledge workers in the same field leads to spillovers, increasing productivity considerably. In further analyses, we confirm the causal relationship with an IV approach and study heterogeneities by cluster size, initial productivity and project characteristics.

description: Colin Blakemore was a giant of neuroscience, whose direct research contributions shaped our modern knowledge of vision and the senses, as well as neural development, plasticity and degeneration. His early work revealed that manipulation of the sensory environment exerts a profound influence on the growing nervous system, establishing that the activation of nerve cells is directly linked to the successful maintenance of these cells’ connections with the rest of the brain. These and many later findings set the scene for understanding that the computational functions of the brain are the outcome of adaptive processes, which continue through adult life in many cases. Publicly, Colin's distinctive voice was well known in broadcast media, notably being the youngest ever presenter of the BBC Reith Lectures at the age of 32. Colin became a regular communicator of the rapidly growing field of neuroscience and an effective advocate for the scientific understanding of our brains, bodies and mental life. He unflinchingly undertook the role of justifying the need for animal research to play its part in the development of science and medical treatment, even though sometimes this brought vilification, and even threats. Colin held many public-facing roles for scientific bodies, of which the most significant was his time as chief executive of the Medical Research Council. More personally, Colin's role as a mentor will always be remembered by his students, who benefited from Colin's remarkable ability to pause all his other activities and focus upon their scientific work and future careers.

description: Recently the possibility of detecting echoes of ringdown gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers was shown. The presence of echoes is expected if the black hole is surrounded by a mirror that reflects gravitational waves near the horizon. Here, we present slightly more sophisticated templates motivated by a waveform which is obtained by solving the linear perturbation equation around a Kerr black hole with a complete reflecting boundary condition in the stationary traveling wave approximation. We estimate that the proposed template can bring about $10\%$ improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio.

description: Using the isomorphism $\mathfrak{o}(3;\mathbb{C})\simeq\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{C})$ we develop a new simple algebraic technique for complete classification of quantum deformations (the classical $r$-matrices) for real forms $\mathfrak{o}(3)$ and $\mathfrak{o}(2,1)$ of the complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(3;\mathbb{C})$ in terms of real forms of $\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{C})$: $\mathfrak{su}(2)$, $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R})$. We prove that the $D=3$ Lorentz symmetry $\mathfrak{o}(2,1)\simeq\mathfrak{su}(1,1)\simeq\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R})$ has three different Hopf-algebraic quantum deformations which are expressed in the simplest way by two standard $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R})$ $q$-analogs and by simple Jordanian $\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R})$ twist deformations. These quantizations are presented in terms of the quantum Cartan-Weyl generators for the quantized algebras $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ and $\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb{R})$ as well as in terms of quantum Cartesian generators for the quantized algebra $\mathfrak{o}(2,1)$. Finaly, some applications of the deformed $D=3$ Lorentz symmetry are mentioned.

description: We establish a new generalized Taylor's formula for power fractional derivatives with nonsingular and nonlocal kernels, which includes many known Taylor's formulas in the literature. Moreover, as a consequence, we obtain a general version of the classical mean value theorem. We apply our main result to approximate functions in Taylor's expansions at a given point. The explicit interpolation error is also obtained. The new results are illustrated through examples and numerical simulations.

description: The aim of this paper is to study new classes of Riemannian manifolds endowed with a smooth potential function, including in a general framework classical canonical structures such as Einstein, harmonic curvature and Yamabe metrics, and, above all, gradient Ricci solitons. For the most rigid cases we give a complete classification, while for the others we provide rigidity and obstruction results, characterizations and nontrivial examples. In the final part of the paper we also describe the "nongradient" version of this construction.

description: By two-color photoassociation of $^{40}$Ca four weakly bound vibrational levels in the Ca$_2$ \Xpot ground state potential were measured, using highly spin-forbidden transitions to intermediate states of the coupled system $^3Π_{u}$ and $^3Σ^+ _{u}$ near the ${^3P_1}$+${^1S_0}$ asymptote. From the observed binding energies, including the least bound state, the long range dispersion coefficients $\mathrm{C}_6, \mathrm{C}_8,\mathrm{C}_{10}$ and a precise value for the s-wave scattering length of 308.5(50)~$a_0$ were derived. From mass scaling we also calculated the corresponding scattering length for other natural isotopes. From the Autler-Townes splitting of the spectra, the molecular Rabi frequency has been determined as function of the laser intensity for one bound-bound transition. The observed value for the Rabi-frequency is in good agreement with calculated transition moments based on the derived potentials, assuming a dipole moment being independent of internuclear separation for the atomic pair model.

Comparison of the slip of a PDMS melt on weakly adsorbing surfaces measured by a new photobleaching-based technique

description: We present an experimental method allowing to quantify slip at the wall in viscous polymer fluids, based on the observation of the evolution under simple shear flow of a photobleached pattern within a fluorescent labeled polymer melt. This straightforward method provides access to slip length at top and bottom interfaces in the 1 $μ$m to 1 mm range and to the actual shear rate experienced by the fluid. Based on simple optical imaging and image analysis techniques, this method affords an improvement compared to previously reported methods in which the photobleached fluorescence intensity profiles before and after shear were compared and measured by scanning a photomultiplier. The present method relies on a direct determination of the displacement profile inside the polymer fluid from an analysis of the 3D evolution of the whole photobleached pattern. We demonstrate the potential of this method with measurements of the slip length for an entangled PDMS melt, as a function of the shear rate, in contact with several weakly surfaces i.e. end-tethered PDMS or polystyrene (PS) chains, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of trimethoxy(octadecyl)silane (OTS), and a glassy PS thin-film.

description: Adiabatic potential energy curves of the $^1Σ^+$ and $^1Π$ states of the LiH molecule have been calculated. They correlate asymptotically to atomic states, like 2s+1s, 2p+1s, 3s+1s, 3p+1s, 3d+1s, 4s+1s, 4p+1s and 4d+1s. Very good agreement is found between our calculated spectroscopic parameters and experimental ones. The dynamics of the rotational predissociation process of the $1^1Π$ state has been studied by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The classical experiment of Velasco [Can. J. Phys. {35}, 1204 (1957)] on dissociation in the $1^1Π$ state is explained in detail.

description: Experiments studying mainly proximity effect are presented. Pink noise and music were used as stimuli and a combo guitar amplifier as source to test several microphones: omnidirectional and directional. We plot in-axis levels and spectral balances as functions of x, the distance to the source. Proximity effect was found for omnidirectional microphones. In-axis level curves show that 1/x law seems poorly valid. Spectral balance evolutions depend on microphones and moreover on stimuli: bigger decreases of low frequencies with pink noise; larger increases of other frequencies with music. For a naked loudspeaker, we found similar in-axis level curves under and above the cut-off frequency and propose an explanation. Listening equalized music recordings will help to demonstrate proximity effect for tested microphones.Paper 7106 presented at the 122th Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, Wien, 2007

description: The transition form factor of a gamma into three pions $F_{3π}$ are studied in a framework of nonlocal chiral quark model. In local limit the result is agreement with chiral perturbative theory and reproduce Wess-Zumino-Witten anomaly. Availability of nonlocality not change a value of transition form factor in chiral limit. On the physical threshold of reaction, the transition form factor $F_{3π}$ is obtained close to the experimental data on account of current mass of quark.

description: Pattern recognition systems implemented using deep neural networks achieve better results than linear models. However, their drawback is the black box property. This property means that one with no experience utilising nonlinear systems may need help understanding the outcome of the decision. Such a solution is unacceptable to the user responsible for the final decision. He must not only believe in the decision but also understand it. Therefore, recognisers must have an architecture that allows interpreters to interpret the findings. The idea of post-hoc explainable classifiers is to design an interpretable classifier parallel to the black box classifier, giving the same decisions as the black box classifier. This paper shows that the explainable classifier completes matching classification decisions with the black box classifier on the MNIST and FashionMNIST databases if Zadeh`s fuzzy logic function forms the classifier and DeconvNet importance gives the truth values. Since the other tested significance measures achieved lower performance than DeconvNet, it is the optimal transformation of the feature values to their truth values as inputs to the fuzzy logic function for the databases and recogniser architecture used.

Extracting work from quantum measurement in Maxwell demon engines

description: The essence of both classical and quantum engines is to extract useful energy (work) from stochastic energy sources, e.g. thermal baths. In Maxwell's demon engines, work extraction is assisted by a feedback control based on measurements performed by a demon, whose memory is erased at some nonzero energy cost. Here we propose a new type of quantum Maxwell's demon engine where work is directly extracted from the measurement channel, such that no heat bath is required. We show that in the Zeno regime of frequent measurements, memory erasure costs eventually vanish. Our findings provide a new paradigm to analyze quantum heat engines and work extraction in the quantum world.

description: Image registration matches the features of two images by minimizing the intensity difference, so that useful and complementary information can be extracted from the mapping. However, in real life problems, images may be affected by the imaging environment, such as varying illumination and noise during the process of imaging acquisition. This may lead to the local intensity distortion, which makes it meaningless to minimize the intensity difference in the traditional registration framework. To address this problem, we propose a variational model for joint image registration and intensity correction. Based on this model, a related greedy matching problem is solved by introducing a multiscale approach for joint image registration and intensity correction. An alternating direction method (ADM) is proposed to solve each multiscale step, and the convergence of the ADM method is proved. For the numerical implementation, a coarse-to-fine strategy is further proposed to accelerate the numerical algorithm, and the convergence of the proposed coarse-to-fine strategy is also established. Some numerical tests are performed to validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
