description: Our study is initiated by a multi-component particle system underlying the tiling of a half hexagon by three species of rhombi. In this particle system species $j$ consists of $\lfloor j/2 \rfloor$ particles which are interlaced with neigbouring species. The joint probability density function (PDF) for this particle system is obtained, and is shown in a suitable scaling limit to coincide with the joint eigenvalue PDF for the process formed by the successive minors of anti-symmetric GUE matrices, which in turn we compute from first principles. The correlations for this process are determinantal and we give an explicit formula for the corresponding correlation kernel in terms of Hermite polynomials. Scaling limits of the latter are computed, giving rise to the Airy kernel, extended Airy kernel and bead kernel at the soft edge and in the bulk, as well as a new kernel at the hard edge.

description: Bestehende nachhaltigkeits- und tierwohlorientierte Lieferketten der Fleisch- und Milchbranche zeigen Perspektiven für die Weiterentwicklung von Lieferbeziehungen zwischen landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben und ihren Abnehmern in der Breite auf. Den empirischen Teil dieser Arbeit bildet eine Untersuchung mit qualitativen Experteninterviews von 22 Branchenvertreter:innen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass alle Qualitätsprogramme Anforderungen über den gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen hinaus beinhalten und sich die Anforderungen, die die Landwirtschaft und der Handel an die Tierwohlprogramme stellen teilweise mit Ansprüchen aus der Bevölkerung decken. Die Spanne an nachhaltigkeits- und tierwohlorientierten Kriterien reicht dabei von einem massenmarkttauglichen Einstiegssegment bis hin zu einem Premiumsegment, um möglichst viele unterschiedliche Zielgruppen anzusprechen. Dabei streben Premiumsegmente deutliche Verbesserungen gegenüber dem Mindeststandard an, verzeichnen aber aufgrund der hohen Mehrkosten und entsprechend hoher Verbraucherpreise nur geringe Marktanteile. Daraus resultiert, dass trotz steigendem Interesse landwirtschaftlicher Erzeuger:innen an Qualitätsprogrammen teilzunehmen, wenigen Betrieben die Möglichkeit dazu gegeben werden kann. Neben einer klaren und substanziellen kommunikationspolitischen Strategieentwicklung kann eine Auslistung niedrigpreisiger, ungelabelter Produkte im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel den Absatz der Produkte mit nachhaltigkeits- und tierwohlorientierten Anforderungen steigern. Daneben können diese Produkte verstärkt in der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung eingesetzt werden. Gefördert werden kann dies durch Vorgaben im Einkauf und eine gezieltere Gestaltung von Ernährungsumgebungen. Damit die Erhöhung der Verbraucherpreise für nachhaltigkeits- und tierwohlorientierte Produkte moderat bleibt, könnte die bereits diskutierte Tierwohlabgabe auf alle tierischen Produkte die Erzeugung von Tierwohl-Produkten subventionieren. Langfristige, vertragliche Abnahmegarantien und staatliche Förderungen für Um- oder Neubauten von Tierwohlställen sowie für laufende Kosten zur Planungs- und Kalkulationssicherheit sind für landwirtschaftliche Betriebe notwendig. Die Ergebnisse bieten Ansatzpunkte für das betriebliche Management in der Landwirtschaft und die Politik, um das Tierwohl- und Nachhaltigkeitssegment weiter auszubauen.

Erstaunlich war, dass Radiohead aus diesem Angebot einen Nutzen generieren konnte. Im Gegensatz zu traditionellen Preisfindungsprozessen obliegt es bei Pay-What-You-Want‘ (PWYW) dem Käufer, den finalen Kaufpreis festzulegen. Dem Käufer wird die gesamte Entscheidungsmacht der Preisgestaltung übertragen. Sobald der Käufer den finalen Preis festgelegt hat, findet die Transaktion statt. Hierbei muss der Verkäufer jeglichen Transaktionspreis inklusive Null akzeptieren. Er kann ein oder mehrere Produkte durch die PWYW Strategie veräußern. (Kim et al. 2009) Ziel dieses Beitrags ist, die Chancen und die Risiken des PWYW-Mechanismus aufzuzeigen, um seine künftigen Verwendungsmöglichkeiten in der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft darzulegen. Um die Zielsetzung zu erreichen, wird ein umfassender Literaturüberblick angefertigt.

Mechanism of regulation of Raf-1 by Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent kinase II
Creators: name: Salzano, Marcella
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: The calcium-calmodulin dependent kinase II (CaMKII) is an ubiquitous serine/threonine protein kinase involved in multiple signalings and biological functions. It has been demonstrated that in epithelial and mesenchimal cells CaMKII participates with Ras to Raf-1 activation and that it is necessary for ERK activation by diverse factors. Raf-1 activation is complex. Maximal Raf-1 activation is reached by phosphorylation at Y341 by Src and at S338. Although early data proposed the involvement of p21-activated kinase 3 (Pak3), the kinase phosphorylating S338 is not definitively identified.
Aim of my thesis is to go more insight into the molecular mechanisms of CaMKII/Raf-1 interaction and to verify the hypothesis that CaMKII phosphorylates Raf-1 at Ser338. To this purpose, I investigated the role of CaMKII in Raf-1 and ERK activation by oncogenic Ras and other factors, in COS-7 and NIH3T3 cells. Serum, SrcY527 and RasV12 activated CaMKII. CaMKII was necessary for Raf-1 and ERK activation by all these factors. CaMKII was necessary to the phosphorylation of S338 Raf-1 by serum, fibronectin or oncogenic Ras. Conversely, the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, which in turn activates Pak3, was ineffective. The direct kinase activity of CaMKII on the serine 338 residue, was demonstrated in vitro by interaction of purified kinases.
These results demonstrate that CaMKII phosphorylates Raf-1 at S338 and partecipates to ERK activation upon different physiologic and pathologic stimuli in the MAPK cascade. This kinase, might have a role in cancers harbouring oncogenic Ras and could represent a new therapeutic target for pharmacological intervention in these tumors.

description: Nel presente elaborato si affronta il problema del controllo di azionamenti utilizzanti motori brushless a magneti permanenti, sia in configurazione classica che pluri-motore, e con particolare riguardo ai sistemi di monitoraggio parametrico e di diagnostica. A seguito di una prima parte descrittiva si andrà a caratterizzare il modello matematico della macchina PM brushless, presentando le strategie di controllo tradizionali ad orientamento di campo, gli schemi di alimentazione e di modulazione delle tensioni.
Si descriveranno in seguito le procedure atte e definire per via sperimentale il set di parametri caratteristico della macchina, consentendo di proporre una soluzione di controllo innovativa basata sul concetto della predizione dello stato del sistema, in sostituzione della metodologia tradizionale con regolatori standard sulla retroazione di corrente. Mettendo poi in discussione la validità delle approssimazioni che si è soliti fare nell’imbastire il sistema di controllo, si procederà alla definizione di nuovi algoritmi che prescindono dalla trascurabilità dei parametri resistivi.
In ambito di azionamenti in configurazione multi-motore, si affronterà il problema della stabilità e si proporranno diverse tecniche di controllo con confronti incrociati dei risultati ottenuti a mezzo di analisi numerica. Si introdurrà poi un nuovo approccio analitico, definendo il modello matematico dei sistemi dual motor, e introducendo una tecnica di controllo con ottimizzazione dal punto di vista prestazionale a regime e/o dinamico; i risultati ottenuti con queste ultime due tecniche saranno messi a confronto con quelli precedenti.
Si analizzerà in dettaglio il fenomeno della variabilità parametrica in relazione alla condizione di funzionamento, rimuovendo alcune ipotesi semplificative che attengono all’idealità dei materiali e alla linearità. L’introduzione del fenomeno di saturazione e della non idealità dei materiali costituenti la macchina consentirà la definizione di un nuovo modello matematico del motore PM brushless. Sulla base di tale modello si affronterà il problema del monitoraggio parametrico a mezzo di algoritmi di stima ricorsivi in grado di operare on-line, durante il normale funzionamento della macchina, e proponendo un metodo di eliminazione delle sovraelongazioni. Con riferimento ad un motore PMSM di 52 kW progettato e realizzato dal Dipartimento di Azionamenti Elettrici, Istituto per le Tecnologie Energetiche e di Automazione dell’Università Tecnica di Berlino, l’analisi numerica in ambiente Matlab-Simulink verrà messa a confronto con i risultati ottenuti per via sperimentale su banco prova. Si proporrà in fine un metodo diagnostico atto ad individuare l’insorgenza di condizioni di funzionamento anomalo e/o di guasto, utilizzando i profili dei parametri ottenuti dallo stesso estimatore parametrico.

description: In data-driven SHM, the signals recorded from systems in operation can be noisy and incomplete. Data corresponding to each of the operational, environmental, and damage states are rarely available a priori; furthermore, labelling to describe the measurements is often unavailable. In consequence, the algorithms used to implement SHM should be robust and adaptive, while accommodating for missing information in the training-data -- such that new information can be included if it becomes available. By reviewing novel techniques for statistical learning (introduced in previous work), it is argued that probabilistic algorithms offer a natural solution to the modelling of SHM data in practice. In three case-studies, probabilistic methods are adapted for applications to SHM signals -- including semi-supervised learning, active learning, and multi-task learning.

description: Non-stationary environments are challenging for reinforcement learning algorithms. If the state transition and/or reward functions change based on latent factors, the agent is effectively tasked with optimizing a behavior that maximizes performance over a possibly infinite random sequence of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), each of which drawn from some unknown distribution. We call each such MDP a context. Most related works make strong assumptions such as knowledge about the distribution over contexts, the existence of pre-training phases, or a priori knowledge about the number, sequence, or boundaries between contexts. We introduce an algorithm that efficiently learns policies in non-stationary environments. It analyzes a possibly infinite stream of data and computes, in real-time, high-confidence change-point detection statistics that reflect whether novel, specialized policies need to be created and deployed to tackle novel contexts, or whether previously-optimized ones might be reused. We show that (i) this algorithm minimizes the delay until unforeseen changes to a context are detected, thereby allowing for rapid responses; and (ii) it bounds the rate of false alarm, which is important in order to minimize regret. Our method constructs a mixture model composed of a (possibly infinite) ensemble of probabilistic dynamics predictors that model the different modes of the distribution over underlying latent MDPs. We evaluate our algorithm on high-dimensional continuous reinforcement learning problems and show that it outperforms state-of-the-art (model-free and model-based) RL algorithms, as well as state-of-the-art meta-learning methods specially designed to deal with non-stationarity.

description: Frustrated one-dimensional quantum spin systems are known to exhibit a variety of quantum ground states due to the effects of quantum fluctuations and frustrations. In a spin-1/2 kagome-strip chain, which is one of the frustrated one-dimensional spin systems, many quantum phases have been found. However, the magnetic phase diagrams of the kagome-strip chain under magnetic field have not been fully understood. We construct magnetic phase diagrams at 0, 1/5, 3/10, 1/3, 2/5, 7/15, 3/5, and 4/5 magnetization ratio in the kagome-strip chain and investigate magnetic properties in each phase using the density matrix renormalization group method. We find fifteen magnetization-plateau phases, one of which is equivalent to the spin-1 Haldane phase.

Regulatory T cell proliferative potential as novel marker to investigate immune tolerance and clinical progression in Multiple Sclerosis
Creators: name: Carbone, Fortunata
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: In autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) one of the determining alteration is the breakdown of self-antigen immune-tolerance. Peripheral immune tolerance is maintained, at least in part, by Regulatory T cells (Treg). Several studies have shown that either defects in the frequency or the suppressive capacity of Treg cells can contribute to the development of break of self-tolerance, and that in animal models of autoimmunity, adoptive transfer of Treg cells was able to stop disease process. Treg cells are known to be anergic in vitro to T cell receptor-induced (TCR) stimulation and this state correlates with their in vitro suppressive capacity. It has been reported that there are differences in the number of Treg cells in MS patients when compared with healthy controls. However there is also extensive evidence indicating a defect in the suppressive function of Treg cells from MS patients. In previous studies we showed that Treg cells produce an higher amount of leptin when compared with effector T cells and that leptin acts as a negative signal for the proliferation of Treg cells. In vitro leptin neutralization results in Treg cells proliferation. Although in last few years several studies have been performed to understand the molecular mechanism leading to autoimmune disorders development, there are no surrogate markers to predict the clinical progression of autoimmune diseases and the clinical response to the classical therapeutic regimes.
PREMIXED COMBUSTION IN A LIGHT DUTY COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINE THROUGH FUEL AND INJECTION SYSTEM DESIGN: AN EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH
Creators: name: Di Blasio, Gabriele
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: Premixed combustion modes in compression ignition engines are studied as a promising solution to meet fuel economy and increasingly stringent emissions regulations. Nevertheless, PCCI combustion systems are not yet consolidated enough for practical applications due to their high complexity in terms of air-fuel charge preparation, combustion process control or due to the difficulties to extent the operating range.
In this framework, this research is aimed to further investigation in the field of PCCI in order to provide additional information, from the fuel side and engine side, for an adequate comprehension of the phenomena and for practical applications.
From the fuel side, this work focuses on providing an overview of the low cetane number (CN) oxy-fuel capabilities to improve both diesel and PCCI combustion in a research light-duty diesel engine. The effects of the cyclohexanone (chosen as representative of the low CN oxy-fuels) and diesel blends on the engine combustion are assessed, i.e. in terms of speed and load range and using PCCI and conventional engine control strategies (EGR, injection pressures, splitted injection, etc.). The results show that low CN oxy-fuels could act as enablers for PCCI combustion, outlining that the low CN and the oxygen content works together to control the smoke emissions. Moreover, the cyclohexanone can be produced from lignin and thus has the potential to be renewable.
From the engine side, the study is aimed to investigate the effect of a specially designed port fuel injection (PFI) system on performance and emissions using n-heptane, as representative of diesel fuel for direct injection, and n-heptane or ethanol as PFI fuel. The results highlight that ethanol (as a low CN fuel) exhibits improved performance in terms of premixed charge formation, combustion control and smoke emissions without evident reduction in fuel efficiency.

description: Le malattie cardiovascolari rappresentano la prima causa di morte a livello mondiale. Secondo i dati della World Health Organization (WHO), nel 2008, i decessi legati a patologie dell’apparato cardiovascolare hanno coinvolto 17.3 milioni di persone, circa il 30% di tutti i decessi al mondo. Si
prevede che, nel 2030, i decessi secondari a tali malattie riguarderanno più di 23 milioni di persone, con un incremento esponenziale soprattutto nei paesi emergenti.
Numerose condizioni patologiche dell’apparato cardiovascolare sono responsabili dell’incapacità del muscolo cardiaco di far fronte alle esigenze degli altri organi o tessuti corporei con una adeguata portata ematica, determinando un quadro di sofferenza generale che viene comunemente indicata come insufficienza cardiaca che, nella forma più estrema, diventa scompenso cardiaco.
Nonostante i progressi in campo medico-scientifico ottenuti negli ultimi anni, i pazienti affetti da scompenso cardiaco hanno purtroppo una scarsa aspettativa o insoddisfacente qualità di vita.
L’impegno comune dei ricercatori, dei medici, delle comunità scientifiche e dei governi deve essere dunque finalizzato prevalentemente alla prevenzione di tali disordini ma coerentemente anche al miglioramento delle terapie necessarie alla loro risoluzione clinica.
In tale ottica, la presente tesi discute l’impianto di sistemi di assistenza meccanica cardiocircolatoria, come terapia cardiochirurgica estrema, nei pazienti affetti da scompenso cardiaco refrattario alla terapia medica massimale, i vantaggi e gli svantaggi di tali procedure e la nostra esperienza nella loro applicazione clinica.

description: Verhaltensökonomisch informierte Regulierungen in Gestalt von „Nudging“ (zu Deutsch: „Anstoßen“, „Schubsen“ oder „Stupsen“) sind seit einigen Jahren Gegenstand lebhafter politischer Debatten. Im Jahr 2015 wurde in Deutschland zu diesem Politikfeld die Arbeitsgruppe „Wirksam regieren“ gegründet, um wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse der Verhaltensökonomie für die praktische Politik fruchtbar zu machen. Das von Richard H. Thaler und Cass R. Sunstein im Jahr 2008 präsentierte Nudge-Konzept soll es insbesondere politischen Verantwortlichen – etwa im Rahmen von Maßnahmen zu Verbraucher- und Gesundheitsschatz – ermöglichen, das Leben von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern durch einen sanften psychologischen „Stups“ länger, gesünder und besser zu machen, ohne dabei auf „harte“ Eingriffe wie Ge- und Verbote oder die Anpassung ökonomischer Anreize zurückgreifen zu müssen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in diesem Beitrag die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der staatlichen Einflussnahme auf das Konsumverhalten von Wein in Deutschland beleuchtet. Nach einer detaillierten Vorstellung des Konzeptes werden die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für staatliches Nudging im Bereich des Weinkonsums skizziert. Daran anschließend erfolgt eine Darstellung bestehender nationaler und internationaler Regulierungen des Weinkonsums vor dem Hintergrund negativer Externalitäten. Es kann dargelegt werden, dass Nudging das Potenzial besitzen könnte, ernstzunehmenden Einfluss auf das Konsumverhalten von Wein in Deutschland zu nehmen. In recent years, behavioural-economically informed regulation in the form of "nudging" has been the subject of lively political debates. The concept presented by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein in 2008 is intended to enable political leaders in particular - for example in the context of consumer and health treasure measures - to make the lives of citizens longer, healthier and better by means of a gentle psychological "nudge" without having to resort to "hard" interventions such as prohibitions or the adjustment of economic incentives. In this context, this article examines the possibilities and limits of governmental influence on the consumption behaviour of wine in Germany. After a detailed presentation of the concept, the legal framework for state nudging in the field of wine consumption is outlined. Subsequently, existing national and international regulations of wine consumption are presented in the context of negative externalities. It can be shown that nudging could have the potential to have a serious influence on the consumption of wine in Germany.

description: The essential aim of Task 7.1 is to provide targeted training to develop suitably skilled individuals and to raise awareness amongst potential users of the benefits of using IPERION HS facilities. To this purpose, it has been decided to organize two Doctoral Summer Schools (HS-DSS) and two Training Camps (HS-TC) aimed at developing highly skilled professionals in the wider heritage research community, fostering cooperation between the academic community and heritage and research institutions.

Several online meetings have been organized in order to discuss and decide about the curricula and dates of the training activities. Given the uncertainty linked with the ongoing pandemic, it was decided that the first HS-DSS will be delivered virtually in July 2021, whereas the first HS-TC will be implemented in person in 2022 when it is expected the current travel restrictions will not be active anymore. 

The first HS-DSS will mainly report on successful TNA and JRA achieved during the IPERION-CH project and will be addressed to a postgraduate, PhD and post-doc audience.

As the HS-TC are intended to be more interactive and more appropriate for learners with a mixed educational and professional background, it was decided to organise them in person in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Both the HS-DSS and HS-TC will attract learners from a wide range of disciplines, so it is important to choose the subject materials and lecturers carefully.
The mixed deep energy method for resolving concentration features in finite strain hyperelasticity

description: The introduction of Physics-informed Neural Networks (PINNs) has led to an increased interest in deep neural networks as universal approximators of PDEs in the solid mechanics community. Recently, the Deep Energy Method (DEM) has been proposed. DEM is based on energy minimization principles, contrary to PINN which is based on the residual of the PDEs. A significant advantage of DEM, is that it requires the approximation of lower order derivatives compared to formulations that are based on strong form residuals. However both DEM and classical PINN formulations struggle to resolve fine features of the stress and displacement fields, for example concentration features in solid mechanics applications. We propose an extension to the Deep Energy Method (DEM) to resolve these features for finite strain hyperelasticity. The developed framework termed mixed Deep Energy Method (mDEM) introduces stress measures as an additional output of the NN to the recently introduced pure displacement formulation. Using this approach, Neumann boundary conditions are approximated more accurately and the accuracy around spatial features which are typically responsible for high concentrations is increased. In order to make the proposed approach more versatile, we introduce a numerical integration scheme based on Delaunay integration, which enables the mDEM framework to be used for random training point position sets commonly needed for computational domains with stress concentrations. We highlight the advantages of the proposed approach while showing the shortcomings of classical PINN and DEM formulations. The method is offering comparable results to Finite-Element Method (FEM) on the forward calculation of challenging computational experiments involving domains with fine geometric features and concentrated loads.

description: Across the European Union, different First Responder organizations – such as LEAs, firefighters, and medical emergency staff – cooperate when facing large and complex disasters. Not always do they function in similar ways. ASSISTANCE will improve First Responders’ Situation Awareness by providing new tools, technologies, and paradigms. An example of the latter is the gender dimension in Search and Rescue operations, described in CyberEthics Lab.’s whitepaper written in parternship with Prof. Arturo Cuesta Jimenez of the University of Cantabria.

description: Geometrical properties of two-dimensional mixtures near the jamming transition point are numerically investigated using harmonic particles under mechanical training. The configurations generated by the quasi-static compression and oscillatory shear deformations exhibit anomalous suppression of the density fluctuations, known as hyperuniformity, below and above the jamming transition. For the jammed system trained by compression above the transition point, the hyperuniformity exponent increases. For the system below the transition point under oscillatory shear, the hyperuniformity exponent also increases until the shear amplitude reaches the threshold value. The threshold value matches with the transition point from the point-reversible phase where the particles experience no collision to the loop-reversible phase where the particles' displacements are non-affine during a shear-cycle before coming back to an original position. The results demonstrated in this paper are explained in terms of neither of universal criticality of the jamming transition nor the nonequilibrium phase transitions.

NMR relaxation rate in superconducting pnictides: extended $s_{\pm}$ scenario

description: Recently, several measurements of the nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate $T_{1}^{-1}$ in the newly discovered superconducting Fe-pnictides have been reported. These measurements generally show no coherence peak below $T_{c}$ and indicate a low temperature power law behavior, the characteristics commonly taken as evidence of unconventional superconductivity with lines of nodes crossing the Fermi surface. In this work we show that (i) the lack of a coherence peak is fully consistent with the previously proposed nodeless extended $s_{\pm}$-wave symmetry of the order parameter (whether in the clean or dirty limit) and (ii) the low temperature power law behavior can be also explained in the framework of the same model, but requires going beyond the Born model.

description: The essential aim of Task 7.1 is to provide targeted training to develop suitably skilled individuals and to raise awareness amongst potential users of the benefits of using IPERION HS facilities. To this purpose, it has been decided to organize two Doctoral Summer Schools (HS-DSS) and two Training Camps (HS-TC) aimed at developing highly skilled professionals in the wider heritage research community, fostering cooperation between the academic community and heritage and research institutions. Several online meetings have been organized in order to discuss and decide about the curricula and dates of the training activities. Given the uncertainty linked with the ongoing pandemic, it was decided that the first HS-DSS will be delivered virtually in July 2021, whereas the first HS-TC will be implemented in person in 2022 when it is expected the current travel restrictions will not be active anymore. The first HS-DSS will mainly report on successful TNA and JRA achieved during the IPERION-CH project and will be addressed to a postgraduate, PhD and post-doc audience. As the HS-TC are intended to be more interactive and more appropriate for learners with a mixed educational and professional background, it was decided to organise them in person in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Both the HS-DSS and HS-TC will attract learners from a wide range of disciplines, so it is important to choose the subject materials and lecturers carefully.

description: This Letter reports on the photometric detection of transits of the Neptune-mass planet orbiting the nearby M-dwarf star GJ 436. It is by far the closest, smallest and least massive transiting planet detected so far. Its mass is slightly larger than Neptune's at M = 22.6 +- 1.9 M_earth. The shape and depth of the transit lightcurves show that it is crossing the host star disc near its limb (impact parameter 0.84 +- 0.03) and that the planet size is comparable to that of Uranus and Neptune, R = 25200 +- 2200 km = 3.95 +- 0.35 R_earth. Its main constituant is therefore very likely to be water ice. If the current planet structure models are correct, an outer layer of H/He constituting up to ten percent in mass is probably needed on top of the ice to account for the observed radius.

description: The estimation of the backgrounds for gluino signals in focus point supersymmetry is extended by including the backgrounds from the production of four third generation quarks in the analysis. We find that these backgrounds are negligible if one uses the strong selection criteria proposed in the literature (including this analysis) for heavy gluino searches. Softer selection criteria often recommended for lighter gluino searches yield backgrounds which are small but numerically significant. We have also repeated the more conventional background calculations and compared our results with the other groups. We find that the size of the total residual background estimated by different groups using different event generators and hard kinematical cuts agree approximately. In view of the theoretical uncertainties in the leading order signal and background cross sections mainly due to the choice of the QCD scale, the gluino mass reach at the LHC cannot be pinpointed. However, requiring a signal with $\rm\geq 3$ tagged b-jets (instead of the standard choice of $\rm\geq 2$) it is shown that gluino masses close to 2 TeV can be probed at the LHC for a range of reasonable choices of the QCD scale for an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$.
