description: In this work, we conducted an empirical comparative study of the performance of text-independent speaker verification in emotional and stressful environments. This work combined deep models with shallow architecture, which resulted in novel hybrid classifiers. Four distinct hybrid models were utilized: deep neural network-hidden Markov model (DNN-HMM), deep neural network-Gaussian mixture model (DNN-GMM), Gaussian mixture model-deep neural network (GMM-DNN), and hidden Markov model-deep neural network (HMM-DNN). All models were based on novel implemented architecture. The comparative study used three distinct speech datasets: a private Arabic dataset and two public English databases, namely, Speech Under Simulated and Actual Stress (SUSAS) and Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS). The test results of the aforementioned hybrid models demonstrated that the proposed HMM-DNN leveraged the verification performance in emotional and stressful environments. Results also showed that HMM-DNN outperformed all other hybrid models in terms of equal error rate (EER) and area under the curve (AUC) evaluation metrics. The average resulting verification system based on the three datasets yielded EERs of 7.19%, 16.85%, 11.51%, and 11.90% based on HMM-DNN, DNN-HMM, DNN-GMM, and GMM-DNN, respectively. Furthermore, we found that the DNN-GMM model demonstrated the least computational complexity compared to all other hybrid models in both talking environments. Conversely, the HMM-DNN model required the greatest amount of training time. Findings also demonstrated that EER and AUC values depended on the database when comparing average emotional and stressful performances.

description: We study semi-analytical time-dependent solutions of the relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for the fields and the fluid emerging from a spherical source. We assume uniform expansion of the field and the fluid and a polytropic relation between the density and the pressure of the fluid. The expansion velocity is small near the base but approaches the speed of light at the light sphere where the flux terminates. We find self-consistent solutions for the density and the magnetic flux. The details of the solution depend on the ratio of the toroidal and the poloidal magnetic field, the ratio of the energy carried by the fluid and the electromagnetic field and the maximum velocity it reaches.

Control of peach phenolic compounds content

description: Phenolic compounds play a central role in peach fruit colour, flavour and health attributes.
Phenolic profiles of several peaches and nectarines and most of the structural genes leading to the
anthocyanin synthesis in peach fruit have been studied. Moreover, crosses of red and non-red
peaches suggested that a major gene controls skin colour of the extreme phenotypes ‘highlighter’
and ‘full-red’. However, there is no data about either the ‘flavan-3-ols specific genes’ (ANR and
LAR) or the regulation of the flavonoid metabolism in this crop.
In the present study, we determined the concentration of phenolic compounds in the yellowfleshed
nectarine Prunus persica cv. ‘Stark Red Gold’ during fruit growth and ripening. We
examined the transcript levels of the main structural genes of the flavonoid pathway. Gene
expression of the biosynthetic genes correlated well with the concentration of flavan-3-ols, which
was very low at the beginning of fruit development, strongly increased at mid-development and
finally decreased again during ripening. In contrast, the only gene transcript which correlated with
anthocyanin concentration was PpUFGT, which was high at the beginning and end of fruit growth,
remaining low during the other developmental stages.
These patterns of gene expression could be explained by the involvement of different
transcription factors, which up-regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis (PpMYB10 and PpbHLH3), or
repress (PpMYBL2) the transcription of the structural genes.
These transcription factors appeared to be involved also in the regulation of the lightinduced
anthocyanin accumulation in ‘Stark Red Gold’ nectarines, suggesting that they play a
critical role in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in peaches and nectarines in response to both
developmental and environmental stimuli.
Phenolic profiles and expression patterns of the main flavonoid structural and regulatory
genes were also determined for the extreme phenotypes denominated ‘highlighter’ and ‘full-red’
and hypotheses about the control of phenolic compounds content in these fruit are discussed.
SEARCH FOR THE STANDARD MODEL HIGGS BOSON PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH TOP QUARK PAIRS IN MULTI-LEPTONIC FINAL STATES WITH THE ATLAS DETECTOR AT THE LHC
Creators: name: MILESI, MARCO

description: The search for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson produced in asso- ciation with top quarks - known as ttH production - plays a crucial role in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) physics programme, as it allows a direct measurement of the Higgs field Yukawa coupling to the heaviest fermion and can constrain effects of new physics beyond the Standard Model in the top coupling sector. This thesis presents a search for the ttH production in an inclusive mul- tileptonic final state, with a proton-proton collision dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of Int( L dt ) = 36.1 fb?1, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015 and 2016 at a centre-of-mass energy ?s=13TeV. The final state is characterised by high jet multiplicity, and the presence of several electrons and muons, as well as hadronically decaying tau leptons. The multiplicity of these physics objects allows the definition of several categories to enhance the sensitivity of the analysis. The particular focus of my work lies on the final state where exactly two light leptons with the same electric charge and no hadronic taus are found - indicated as 2l SS 0?had - for which I developed a novel technique to estimate the reducible background of non-prompt (fake) electrons and muons. Boosted decision tree algorithms are trained to discriminate the ttH signal events from the two major background processes in this channel: ttV (V=W,Z) and events with fake leptons. A fit of our model to the observed data is performed, and the results are interpreted using a frequentist approach. A best-fit value for the strength of the ttH production cross section with respect to the Standard Model expectation of ? = 1.5+0.7 is observed. The observed sensitivity of this search corresponds to a 2.7? excess of events above the SM background-only hypothesis, with an expected median sensitivity of 1.9? for a model where the SM ttH production is assumed. Combination with the other categories of the ttH to multi-leptons analysis eventually leads to a signal strength of ? = 1.6+0.5, with an observed (expected) sensitivity of 4.1? (2.8?) above the SM background-only hypothesis. This indicates the strongest evidence to date for the ttH production mode. Furthermore, I present a study on improvements to the ATLAS track re- construction algorithm to enhance its performance in environments with high density of tracks, such as the core of boosted hadronic jets and hadronically decaying tau leptons.

description: In a numerical experiment based on Gross-Pitaevskii formalism, we demonstrate unique topological quantum coherence in optically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Exploring the fact that vortices in rotating BEC can be pinned by a geometric arrangement of laser beams, we show the parameter range in which vortex-antivortex molecules or multiquantum vortices are formed as a consequence of the optically imposed symmetry. Being low-energy states, we discuss the conditions for spontaneous nucleation of these unique molecules and their direct experimental observation, and provoke the potential use of the phase print of an antivortex or a multiquantum vortex when realized in unconventional circumstances.

description: La tesi di ricerca, a partire dallo studio di aspetti concettuali e metodologici connessi al progetto dello spazio urbano, in termini di elementi spaziali, tipologie di prodotti e processi della progettazione, si propone di definire i temi critici di un approccio progettuale integrato, quali contributi alla base di una proposta di revisione della lettura dei criteri della composizione architettonica e urbana. L'approfondimento dei principi posti alla base della qualità  dello spazio urbano - intesa secondo un'accezione ampia del termine entro cui far convergere il tema della sostenibilità  - ha indotto a condurre una riflessione specifica sull'incidenza dell'interazione tra fattori progettuali e procedurali, secondo una visione sistemica che sposta l'attenzione dagli oggetti alle relazioni, quali elementi chiave della comprensione delle dinamiche urbane. 
L'analisi critica di esperienze applicative esemplari selezionate nel contesto europeo, riferita agli stessi temi critici dell'integrazione offre uno strumento essenziale di indagine, approfondimento e verifica puntuale di indirizzi e linee strategiche, utile anche per l'individuazione di un percorso preventivo di analisi degli elementi significativi del controllo del progetto. La valutazione comparata dei casi, mettendo in relazione interventi a scala urbana e specifiche realizzazioni a scala architettonica, si propone di evidenziare come l'efficacia delle strategie più generali possa tradursi nel valore dei progetti di dettaglio solo attraverso un approccio metodologico integrato, capace di incidere profondamente e proficuamente sulla qualità  delle trasformazioni dello spazio urbano. Porsi in un atteggiamento critico capace di interpretare la complessità  della realtà  contemporanea secondo una prospettiva a-scalare della progettazione, rappresenta la condizione essenziale per promuovere e valorizzare una creatività  progettuale capace di definire scenari contemporanei e futuri più responsabili e consapevoli.

description: Status of Pempheris tominagai
 Koeda et al. (2014) described the Red Sea representative of the P. schwenkii complex as the new species Pempheris tominagai, and selected a specimen from the Red Sea coast of Egypt as the holotype. It is a valid species, endemic to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden (the latter locality based on 22 specimens from the south coast of Yemen, SMF 35489 and NHCY-P-10). Koeda et al. (2014) claim P. tominagai to be the Indian Ocean sister species of P. schwenkii of the Pacific. This cannot be true because the type locality of P. schwenkii is the Batu Islands off the SW coast of Sumatra in the Indian Ocean. Of the eight records listed in their synonymy for P. tominagai, only a single one (Siliotti, 2009) is valid as this species. They included the record of P. schwenkii by Heemstra & Heemstra (2004: 326–327) as P. tominagai, but Heemstra & Heemstra's material is now known to consist of two undescribed species of Pempheris. Koeda et al. ’s (2014) Fig. 7a, an underwater photo of an aggregation of Pempheris taken by Gerald R. Allen in Madagascar, is also an undescribed species, not P. tominagai. Furthermore, the description of P. tominagai is flawed, because many of the paratypes designated by Koeda et al. (2014) have proven to be an undescribed species of Pempheris from Southern Africa and Madagascar, more than 15% different in COI sequence from P. tominagai of the Red Sea (15.6% K2P distance, 13.7% pairwise; Makinen & Heemstra (pers. comm.); note Koeda et al. would have been unaware of this). Koeda et al. (2014) reported the posterior nostril of P. tominaga compressed in contrast to the anterior, illustrated as their Fig. 8. However, we are unable to confirm this character. Of our five Red Sea specimens of this species, only one has the posterior nostril narrower than the anterior on both sides, none has the nostril completely closed as their Fig. 8 b. Of the 22 specimens from the Gulf of Aden, only 5 have one nostril fully compressed on one side.

description: Transverse momentum correlation in azimuthal angle of produced hadrons due to mini-jets are studied first within the HIJING Monte Carlo model in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Jet quenching in the early stage of thermalization is shown to lead to significant diffusion (broadening) of the correlation. Evolution of the transverse momentum density fluctuation that gives rise to such correlation in azimuthal angle in the later stage of heavy-ion collisions is further investigated within a linearized diffusion-like equation and is shown to be determined by the shear viscosity of the evolving dense matter. Such a diffusion equation for the transverse momentum fluctuation is solved with initial values given by HIJING and together with the hydrodynamic equation for the bulk medium. The final transverse momentum correlation in azimuthal angle is calculated along the freeze-out hyper-surface and is found further diffused for larger values of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio $η/s \sim 0.2-0.4$. Therefore the final transverse momentum correlation in azimuthal angle can be used to study the thermalization of mini-jets in the early stage of heavy-ion collisions and the viscous effect in the hydrodynamic evolution of the strongly coupled quark gluon plasma.
description: RevTex 4, 4 pages and 2 figures, the method to determine the fluctuation in transverse fluid velocity in the initial time of the hydro evolution has been improved. The relevant parts have been rewritten with some discussions and references added

While our least disordered film displays usual metallic behavior, for all the films with kFl<8.13, both and are negative up to 300K. We observe that R_H(T) varies linearly with rho(T) for all the films. Measurements performed on a 2nm thick Be film shows similar behavior >.

description: We investigate the phase shifts of low-energy alpha-alpha scattering under variations of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model, namely the light quark mass, the electromagnetic fine-structure constant as well as the QCD theta-angle. As a first step, we recalculate alpha-alpha scattering in our Universe utilizing various improvements in the adiabatic projection method, which leads to an improved, parameter-free prediction of the S- and D-wave phase shifts for laboratory energies below 10 MeV. We find that positive shifts in the pion mass have a small effect on the S-wave phase shift, whereas lowering the pion mass adds some repulsion in the two-alpha system. The effect on the D-wave phase shift turns out to be more pronounced as signaled by the D-wave resonance parameters. Variations of the fine-structure constant have almost no effect on the low-energy alpha-alpha phase shifts. We further show that up-to-and-including next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, variations of these phase shifts with respect to the QCD theta-angle can be expressed in terms of the theta-dependent pion mass.

EARLY MUSIC NEL NOVECENTO ITALIANO

Year: 2018

description: My Ph.D. dissertation focuses on the Early Music movement in Italy between the second post-war period and the end of the seventies in a historic-cultural point of view, limited to the revival of the Medieval repertoire. It is an initial inquiry of a complex and international phenomenon, whose Italian manifestation has still not been an object of research. In this work the phenomenon Early Music ? analysed through historical, historiographic and ethnographic criteria ? is settled into the broader Italian political, social and cultural context in order to underline the peculiarities, to detect the ideological, esthetical and political reasons which nourished it and to set up connections with other Italian experiences in the second half of the 20th Century, not only what music concern. The work is articulated in two sections. The first part focuses on the early music activity from the period of the post-war reconstruction to the early sixties, through the revival of the lauda and of the liturgical drama repertoire, particularly rich in those years. The first chapter deals with the presence of Medieval music in the cultural life of the post-war period, both what discography and live performance concern, with a particular attention on the attitude of the musical criticism. The second chapter broadens the chronologic span researching the origins of the lauda?s fortune during the Fascist era, aiming to a better comprehension of the phenomenon in the following decades. The third chapter focuses on Milan and on the activity of the choral ensemble Polifonica Ambrosiana in order to underline the revival of the ancient Italian repertoire and the choral practise as moment not only of musical, but also of moral reconstruction for the catholic communities before and during the Vatican Council. The second part examines the decade following the sixty-eight. The first chapter inserts the Italian experience into the international Early Music movement?s frame in the period of the socio-political revolutions, so as to highlight the consonances between the performance and use of early music and the sixty-eight ideals. The second chapter underlines the role of the pre-baroque music as a stimulus to the creation of an alternative musical education towards the academic one, while the third offers a bird?s eye view on the activity of the Italian groups specialised in Medieval music, pointing out some fundamental elements for the construction their identity and self-legitimation. The fourth chapter delves into the Italian Communist Party?s position about cultural politics and its activity within the recreational clubs. The objects of the last chapter are the musical, ideological and political synergies with experiences such as folk-revival and, more generally, with the performance of the folk repertoire and oral tradition.

description: Recent observation of microlensing technique reveals two giant planets at 2.3 AU and 4.6 AU around the star OGLE-06-109L. The eccentricity of the outer planet (ec) is estimated to be 0.11(+0.17,-0.04), comparable to that of Saturn (0.01-0.09). The similarities between the OGLE-06-109L system and the solar system indicate that they may have passed through similar histories during their formation stage. In this paper we investigate the dynamics and formation of the orbital architecture in the OGLE-06-109L system. For the present two planets with their nominal locations, the secular motions are stable as long as their eccentricities (eb; ec) fulfill eb^2 + ec^2 < = 0.3^2. Earth-size bodies might be formed and are stable in the habitable zone (0.25AU-0.36AU) of the system. Three possible scenarios may be accounted for formation of eb and ec: (i) convergent migration of two planets and the 3:1 MMR trapping; (ii) planetary scattering; (iii) divergent migration and the 3:1 MMR crossing. As we showed that the probability for the two giant planets in 3:1 MMR is low (~3%), scenario (i) is less likely. According to models (ii) and (iii), the final eccentricity of inner planet (eb) may oscillate between [0-0.06], comparable to that of Jupiter (0.03-0.06). An inspection of eb, ec secular motion may be helpful to understand which model is really responsible for the eccentricity formation.

description: We generalize the concept of the geometric phase in stochastic kinetics to a noncyclic evolution. Its application is demonstrated on kinetics of the Michaelis-Menten reaction. It is shown that the nonperiodic geometric phase is responsible for the correction to the Michaelis-Menten law when parameters, such as a substrate concentration, are changing with time. We apply these ideas to a model of chemical reactions in a bacterial culture of a growing size, where the geometric correction qualitatively changes the outcome of the reaction kinetics.

description: Con il termine neurofibromatosi (NF) si comprendono almeno sette malattie genetiche diverse ma accomunate dalla presenza di neurofibromi localizzati nei distretti cutaneo, orale, viscerale e scheletrico. Dal momento che la NF1 (malattia di Von Recklinghausen), una delle più diffuse malattie genetiche, può avere manifestazioni a livello orale, gli odontoiatri devono essere a conoscenza delle sue caratteristiche patognomoniche. 
Obiettivo della tesi è la ricerca di manifestazioni della NF1 a livello dell’apparato stomatognatico. 
Materiali e metodi 98 pazienti affetti da NF1 (44 maschi, 54 femmine dai 2 ai 24 anni; età media di 8,6 anni) sono stati indagati clinicamente e radiograficamente; clinicamente si sono valutati: prevalenza della patologia cariosa (dmft; DMFt), indice parodontale di comunità (CPI), anomalie dentali, presenza di lesioni a livello dei tessuti molli intraorali, presenza di patologie ortopedico-ortodontiche; presenza di abitudini viziate; sulle ortopantomografie eseguite su 49 pazienti (23 maschi, 26 femmine dai 6 ai 19 anni; età media di 10 anni) si sono valutate manifestazioni ossee e dentali caratteristiche  della sindrome.
Risultati Dallo studio è emerso che i pazienti affetti da NF1 presentano: dmft/DMFt e CPI elevati (dmft = 2,1; DMFt = 1,6; tessuti gengivali con sanguinamento nel 50% dei casi; eruzione dentale anticipata nel 10%; eruzione dentale ritardata nel 10%; taurodontismo nel 16%; patologie ortopedico-ortodontiche nel 40% (tendenza alla terza classe scheletrica, palato ogivale,  morso aperto anteriore, morso coperto, morso crociato posteriore monolaterale, morso crociato posteriore bilaterale, linea mediana deviata, incompetenza labiale); abitudini viziate nel 27% (respirazione orali e deglutizione infantile);  lesione neurofibromatosa della gengiva in un caso; per quanto riguarda la valutazione delle ortopantomografie, manifestazioni ossee caratteristiche della sindrome sono state  evidenziate nel 28% dei casi (incisura coronoide deformata, processo coronoide ipoplasico o pseudoallungato, condilo ipoplasico, condilo iperplasico, canale mandibolare allargato, forame mandibolare allargato e alto,  bordo inferiore della mandibola deformato).
La necessità di programmi ed interventi di screening e follow-up periodici (visite odontoiatriche a partire dal momento della diagnosi a cadenza semestrale, esami radiografici a partire dai 6 anni di età a cadenza stabilita individualmente  in funzione del livello di rischio) è supportata dall’elevato rischio di patologie cariosa e parodontale e dalla presenza di manifestazioni a livello dei tessuti duri e molli del distretto cefalico a documentato rischio di trasformazione maligna.

description: TikTok is a popular new social media, where users express themselves through short video clips. A common form of interaction on the platform is participating in "challenges", which are songs and dances for users to iterate upon. Challenge contagion can be measured through replication reach, i.e., users uploading videos of their participation in the challenges. The uniqueness of the TikTok platform where both challenge content and user preferences are evolving requires the combination of challenge and user representation. This paper investigates social contagion of TikTok challenges through predicting a user's participation. We propose a novel deep learning model, deepChallenger, to learn and combine latent user and challenge representations from past videos to perform this user-challenge prediction task. We collect a dataset of over 7,000 videos from 12 trending challenges on the ForYouPage, the app's landing page, and over 10,000 videos from 1303 users. Extensive experiments are conducted and the results show that our proposed deepChallenger (F1=0.494) outperforms baselines (F1=0.188) in the prediction task.

description: ABSTRACT Aim of this thesis is to evaluate the genetic and racial structure of a dairy cattle breed reared in Tropics, joint to the investigation of the best selection methodology for productive traits adapted to low/medium input production system. The genetic and racial structure of the Carora Breed, a Venezuelan dairy cattle population, was studied through the analysis of the whole pedigree. The database included 4324 living animals (including culled bulls used for AI), born from 1983 to 2010. The racial composition of Carora breed was studied clustering the current population into 5 racial groups, identified on the basis of the individual racial proportion, in order to detect the breed composition in this synthetic breed. The Carora pedigree resulted quite complete, and the inbreeding level is below the level of 1%, even if the size of this breed is reduced. From this study an increase in the Brown Swiss genes proportion was detected, indicating the possibility of a reduction in adaptability linked to the features of this breed, typically suitable for temperate climates. Genetic parameters of weight at 18 months (W18) and milk yield (MY) of 1781 Venezuelan cows were estimated with a Multiple Trait Animal Model, including the direct breed effects and the epistatic loss. Results showed that direct breeds effects and epistatic loss affected milk trait, while they seemed not important for weight. An high percentage of European genes positively influenced milk production. Four random regression models were used on 95606 test day records to obtain genetic parameters for test day yield and persistency. Akaike?s information criterion (AIC) and minus twice log likelihood (-2logL), were used to compare the models and to choose the best one fitting the data. Estimated heritability for milk yield ranged from 0.21 to 0.30, while repeatability ranged from 0.50 to 0.56. Five persistency measures were calculated taking in account different point of the lactation. In general, heritability values for the five measures of persistency ranged from low to moderate (from 0.18 to 0.26), indicating the possibility of new selection opportunities. The use of persistency indexes accounting for milk yield, may allow the selection of individuals able to express their potential genetic values in tropical environment, without incurring in excessive heat stress losses.

description: Steindl beschreibt, wie die imperialistische Außenpolitik Amerikas, die sich deutlich im Korea-Krieg manifestiert, den Weg zu einer Diktatur des Monopolkapitals, der Rüstungswirtschaft und der Schwerindustrie bereitet. Die Rüstungsindustrie beherrscht die Wirtschaftspolitik und die konservativen Gewerkschaften tragen ihren Teil der Verantwortung (da sie sich der Kriegs- und der Kommunistenhetze angeschlossen haben) für die Verschlechterung der sozialen Lage der Arbeiter als Folge der Lohnerhöhungsverbotes und der mangelnden Preiskontrolle der Regierung. Steindl zieht Parallelen zur faschistischen Entwicklung in Deutschland der 30-er Jahre: "Deutschland hat mit dem Faschismus im Inneren angefangen, Amerika in der Aussenpolitik. Die amerikanische Intervention in Korea ist das genaue Gegenstück zur deutschen Intervention im spanischen Bürgekrieg, aber sie übertrifft sie um ein vielfaches an Grausamkeit und Unmenschlichkeit: Nicht nur ein Guernica, sondern tausende koeranische Dörfer brennen."

description: We use molecular dynamics to investigate the glass transition occurring at large volume fraction, phi, and low temperature, T, in assemblies of soft repulsive particles. We find that equilibrium dynamics in the (phi, T) plane obey a form of dynamic scaling in the proximity of a critical point at T=0 and phi=phi_0, which should correspond to the ideal glass transition of hard spheres. This glass point, `point G', is distinct from athermal jamming thresholds. A remarkable consequence of scaling behaviour is that the dynamics at fixed phi passes smoothly from that of a strong glass to that of a very fragile glass as phi increases beyond phi_0. Correlations between fragility and various physical properties are explored.

description: It is well known that many realistic mathematical models of biological systems, such as cell growth, cellular development and differentiation, gene expression, gene regulatory networks, enzyme cascades, synaptic plasticity, aging and population growth need to include stochasticity. These systems are not isolated, but rather subject  to  intrinsic and extrinsic fluctuations, which leads to a quasi equilibrium state (homeostasis).  The natural framework is provided by Markov processes and the Master equation (ME)  describes the temporal  evolution  of the probability of each state, specified by the number of units of each species. The ME  is  a relevant tool  for modeling realistic  biological systems  and allow also to explore the behavior  of open systems. These systems may exhibit not only the classical thermodynamic equilibrium states but also  the nonequilibrium steady states (NESS). This thesis deals with biological problems that can be treat with the Master equation and also with its thermodynamic consequences. It is organized into six chapters with four new scientific works, which are grouped in two parts: (1) Biological applications of the Master equation: deals with  the stochastic properties of a toggle switch, involving a protein compound and a miRNA cluster, known to control the eukaryotic cell cycle and possibly involved in oncogenesis and with the propose of a one parameter family of master equations for the evolution of a population having the logistic equation as mean field limit. (2) Nonequilibrium thermodynamics in terms of the Master equation: where we study the dynamical role of chemical fluxes that characterize the NESS of a chemical network and we propose a one parameter parametrization of BCM learning, that was originally proposed to describe plasticity processes, to study the differences between systems in DB and NESS.

description: Status of Pempheris malabarica
 Koeda et al. (2014) regarded Pempheris malabarica Cuvier as a junior synonym of P. molucca Cuvier. As discussed by Randall & Bineesh (2014), the name P. molucca is based on a fanciful painting in Renard from 1719 and unavailable as a nomen dubium. Pempheris malabarica is a valid species, easily distinguished by having 42 to 48 anal soft rays and 65 to 75 lateral-line scales, the highest for these two counts of Indian Ocean species of the genus (see Tables 1 and 3).

description: In this paper, we study the physical properties and the equilibrium thermal radiation emission characteristics of matter forming thin accretion disks in stationary axially symmetric wormhole spacetimes. The thin disk models are constructed by taking different values of the wormhole's angular velocity, and the time averaged energy flux, the disk temperature and the emission spectra of the accretion disks are obtained. Comparing the mass accretion in a rotating wormhole geometry with the one of a Kerr black hole, we verify that the intensity of the flux emerging from the disk surface is greater for wormholes than for rotating black holes with the same geometrical mass and accretion rate. We also present the conversion efficiency of the accreting mass into radiation, and show that the rotating wormholes provide a much more efficient engine for the transformation of the accreting mass into radiation than the Kerr black holes. Therefore specific signatures appear in the electromagnetic spectrum of thin disks around rotating wormholes, thus leading to the possibility of distinguishing wormhole geometries by using astrophysical observations of the emission spectra from accretion disks.

description: Παρόλες τις σημαντικές προόδους στις ιατρικές τεχνολογίες και τον πολλαπλασιασμό των μέτρων για τη δημόσια υγεία, η πανδημία του COVID-19 έδειξε πως πολλές πόλεις σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο ήταν κακώς προετοιμασμένες για να αντιμετωπίσουν αυτήν την πρόκληση. Η πανδημία έφερε στην επιφάνεια αδυναμίες στις υποδομές, οι οποίες θα πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστούν πριν από την επόμενη πανδημία. Αυτή είναι μία ευκαιρία για τις πόλεις να γίνουν πιο ανθεκτικές και εύρωστες, αναδεικνύοντας τη σημασία της δημόσιας υγείας σε μια ποικιλία αποφάσεων σχετικά με τη χρήση γης, τις μεταφορές και το σχεδιασμό του δημόσιου χώρου. Στην παρούσα εργασία παρουσιάζεται η πρόταση για τον σχεδιασμό μιας γειτονιάς μετά από μια μεγάλη πανδημία, στο Ληξούρι της Κεφαλλονιάς. Η συρραφή αυτή στον αστικό ιστο του Ληξουρίου, σχεδιάστηκε και ως λύση για τους αστέγους από τον σεισμό του 2018.  Μια γειτονιά πράσινη, βιώσιμη και ικανή να προσφέρει ασφάλεια στους κατοίκους της, απαραίτητη για την αντιμετώπιση σύγχρονων σεισμικών και πανδημικών καταστάσεων έκτακτης ανάγκης. Το Ληξούρι είναι η δεύτερη μεγαλύτερη πόλη στην Κεφαλλονιά, με εντονο ιστορικο και πολιτισμικό ενδιαφέρον και αποτελεί κέντρο εμπορίου λόγω της θέσης τους. Μια πόλη όμως, όπου η απουσια του δημόσιου χώρου είναι εμφανής, καθώς και το σύνολο των υποδομών δεν είναι λειτουργικές ως προς το σύνολο της. Έτσι ενυσχιεται με τον σχεδιασμό ενός συνόλου από εμπορικές, πολιτιστικές, κοινωνικες, εργασιακες εκπαιδευτικές χρήσεις σε συνάρτηση με το δημόσιο χώρο.

description: A non-canonical correspondence of the complete sets of solutions to the Dirac and Klein-Gordon free equations in Minkowski space-time is established. This allows for a novel viewpoint on the relationship of relativistic equations for different spins and on the origin of spinor transformations. In particular, starting from a solution to the Dirac equation, one obtains a chain of other solutions to both Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations. A comparison with the massless case is performed, and examples of non-trivial singular solutions are presented. A generalization to Riemannian space-time and inclusion of interactions are briefly discussed.
