description: The dissipation behaviour and the consumer risk assessment of spitotetramat, flonicamid, imidacloprid and pymetrozine in open field strawberries were studied. Insecticides were applied at the authorised levels and the more critical good agricultural practice regimes (GAP). The initial concentrations varied from 0.069 to 1.75 mg kg−1 depending on the compound, while the dissipation half-lives and terminal residues, 14 days from the last applications, were similar. After application according to the authorised pattern the half-lives were 2.8 days for flonicamid and 3.2 days for spitotetramat, imidacloprid and pymetrozine. The dietary risk assessment, performed using the hazard quotient and the EFSA PRIMo model showed no concern to consumer health with exposure values <2% of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) and <32% of the acute reference dose (ARfD) of each compound.

description: Electron-electron interaction is fundamental in condensed matter physics and can lead to composite quasiparticles called plasmarons, which strongly renormalize the dispersion and carry information of electron-electron coupling strength as defined by the effective fine structure constant $α_{ee}^*$. Although h-BN with unique dielectric properties has been widely used as an important substrate for graphene, so far there is no experimental report of plasmarons in graphene/h-BN yet. Here, we report direct experimental observation of plasmaron dispersion in graphene/h-BN heterostructures through angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements upon {\it in situ} electron doping. Characteristic diamond-shaped dispersion is observed near the Dirac cone in both 0$^\circ$ (aligned) and 13.5$^\circ$ (twisted) graphene/h-BN, and the electron-electron interaction strength $α_{ee}^*$ is extracted to be $α_{ee}^*\approx0.9\pm 0.1$, highlighting the important role of electron-electron interaction. Our results suggest graphene/h-BN as an ideal platform for investigating strong electron-electron interaction with weak dielectric screening, and lays fundamental physics for gate-tunable nano-electronics and nano-plasmonics.

Studies on biotic and abiotic elicitors inducing defense responses in tomato
Creators: name: Lancioni, Pietro <1980>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2009
Subjects: AGR/12 Patologia vegetale

description: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., Solanum lycopersicon L.) is one of the most popular vegetable throughout the world, and the importance of its cultivation
is threatened by a wide array of pathogens. In the last twenty years this plant has been successfully used as a model plant to investigate the induction of defense
pathways after exposure to fungal, bacterial and abiotic molecules, showing triggering of different mechanisms of resistance. Understanding these mechanisms in order to improve crop protection is a main goal for Plant Pathology.
The aim of this study was to search for general or race-specific molecules able to determine in Solanum lycopersicon immune responses attributable to the main
systems of plant defense: non-host, host-specific and induced resistance. Exopolysaccharides extracted by three fungal species (Aureobasidium pullulans, Cryphonectria parasitica and Epicoccum purpurascens), were able to
induce transcription of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and accumulation of enzymes related to defense in tomato plants cv Money Maker,using the chemical inducer Bion® as a positive control. During the thesis, several Pseudomonas spp. strains were also isolated and tested for their antimicrobial activity and ability to produce antibiotics. Using as a positive control jasmonic acid, one of the selected strain was shown to induce a form of systemic resistance in tomato. Transcription of PRs and reduction of
disease severity against the leaf pathogen Pseduomonas syringae pv. tomato was determined in tomato plants cv Money Maker and cv Perfect Peel, ensuring no direct contact between the selected rhizobacteria and the aerial part of the plant. To conclude this work, race-specific resistance of tomato against the leaf mold Cladosporium fulvum is also deepened, describing the project followed at the Phytopathology Laboratory of Wageningen (NL) in 2007, dealing with localization of a specific R-Avr interaction in transfected tomato protoplast cultures through fluorescence microscopy.

Subjects: IUS/07 Diritto del lavoro

description: After having covered the international regulation in the labour market and in the control mechanisms fighting the irregular and the concealed labour, the Author concentrates on the Italian system’s answers to the requests coming from the European Union. Starting from the White Book on the labour market in Italy, the problems originated by the Legislative Decree 124/2004 and, moreover, those which have affected the fight against the concealed labour are dealt with. The aim study is to verify that the juridical regulation adopted by the national lawmaker has contributed to solve the problems connected to the labour flexibility and the consequent temporary employment. The analysis of the problems has led to the conclusion that, regardless the lawmaker’s good intentions, the basic principles of the national juridical system do not allow the achievement of a
full realization of the objectives. This is mainly because the lack of effective systems to protect the flexible employees often treated as temporary employees, and because of the difficulties to introduce the legal culture on which the whole system should stand.

Self-organising coordination systems
Creators: name: Casadei, Matteo <1977>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2009
Subjects: ING-IND/05 Impianti e sistemi aerospaziali

description: Many research fields are pushing the engineering of large-scale, mobile, and open systems towards the adoption of techniques inspired by self-organisation: pervasive computing, but also distributed artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, social networks, peer-topeer and grid architectures exploit adaptive techniques to make global system properties emerge in spite of the unpredictability of interactions and behaviour. Such a trend is visible also in coordination models and languages, whenever a coordination infrastructure needs to cope with managing interactions in highly dynamic and unpredictable environments. As a consequence, self-organisation can be regarded as a feasible metaphor to define a radically new conceptual coordination framework. The resulting framework
defines a novel coordination paradigm, called self-organising coordination, based on the idea of spreading coordination media over the network, and charge them with services to manage interactions based on local criteria, resulting in the emergence of desired and fruitful global coordination properties of the system. Features like topology, locality, time-reactiveness, and stochastic behaviour play a key role in both the definition of such
a conceptual framework and the consequent development of self-organising coordination services.
According to this framework, the thesis presents several self-organising coordination techniques developed during the PhD course, mainly concerning data distribution in tuplespace-based coordination systems. Some of these techniques have been also implemented in ReSpecT, a coordination language for tuple spaces, based on logic tuples and reactions to events occurring in a tuple space. In addition, the key role played by simulation and formal verification has been investigated, leading to analysing how automatic verification techniques like probabilistic model checking can be exploited in order to formally prove
the emergence of desired behaviours when dealing with coordination approaches based on self-organisation. To this end, a concrete case study is presented and discussed.

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Dynamics of quasi-particles in graphene with an impurity and a sharp edge is considered with the kp perturbation theory that allows an unified approach without usage of any models. Dirac and Weyl equations are derived by the above-mentioned method. The wave function and its envelope function together with the scattering amplitude are found in the Born approximation. The wave functions are shown to be a superposition of virtual Bloch functions which exponential decay outward from the impurity and the edge. At distances much greater that the atomic spacing the wave functions are explicitly presented. Green's functions for Schrödinger and Dirac equations are derived as well. Boundary conditions for the Dirac equation for graphene with a sharp edge are also derived.

description: Given the increased attention towards the detection of faint stars in the Galactic center, we would like to address the detectability of S62 in its apoapsis with SINFONI (VLT) and NIRC2 (KECK) in this work. Because of the nearby stars and the chance of confusion, we are using Lucy-Richardson deconvolved images to detect S62 on its Keplerian orbit around Sgr~A* with a period of less than 10 years. We use the same dataset as for S62 to trace additionally the S-cluster star S29 at the expected position based on the orbital elements presented in this work. To verify the results of the filtering technique, we are analysing K-band continuum data of the same epoch independently observed with NIRC2/KECK. Based on the well-derived orbit of S62, we find the star in projection at the expected position in 2019.4 and 2019.5. By analyzing the SINFONI data of 2019.5, we confirm the $16.1\,\pm\,0.2$ mag for S62 that was formerly derived with NACO (VLT). We base our NACO imaging analysis on the robust data set that was previously used to investigate the Schwarzschild precision of S2. We also present a critical discussion of the elsewhere proposed linear trajectory of S62 and its disputed identification with a 19 mag star found with GRAVITY mounted at the VLT Interferometer.

description: We investigate the dynamics of charged dust interacting with the interplanetary magnetic field in a Parker spiral type model and subject to the solar wind and Poynting-Robertson effect in the vicinity of the 1:1 mean motion resonance with planet Jupiter. We estimate the shifts of the location of the minimum libration amplitude solutions close to the location of the L4 and L5 points of the classical - gravitational - problem and provide the extension of the 'librational regimes of motion' and the width of the resonance in dependency of the nongravitational parameters related to the dust grain size and surface potential of the particles. Our study is based on numerical simulations in the framework of the spatial, elliptic restricted three-body problem and semi-analytical estimates obtained by averaging of Gauss' planetary equations of motion.

description: The recovering procedure of the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) functions from the additional nonlinearities of the current-voltage curve ($I-V$ curve) of point contacts associated with an excess current is considered. The approach proposed takes into account both inelastic scattering, which causes suppression of the excess current in the reabsorption of nonequilibrium phonons by electrons undergoing Andreev reflection (Andreev electrons), and elastic processes associated with the electron-phonon renormalization of the energy spectrum in a superconductor. The results obtained are systematically expounded for both the ballistic contacts, wherein the second derivatives of the $I-V$ curve in the normal state are proportional to the EPI functions, and inhomogeneous contacts (with dirty constrictions and clean banks), whose second derivatives in the normal state are either free of phonon singularities or weakly pronounced.

description: The Einstein field equations of gravitation are characterized by cross-scale, high-order nonlinear terms, representing a challenge for numerical modeling. In an exact spectral decomposition, high-order nonlinearities correspond to a convolution that numerically might lead to aliasing instabilities. We present a study of this problem, in vacuum conditions, based on the $3+1$ Baumgarte-Shibata-Shapiro-Nakamura (BSSN) formalism. We inspect the emergence of numerical artifacts, in a variety of conditions, by using the Spectral-FIltered Numerical Gravity codE (\texttt{SFINGE}) - a pseudo-spectral algorithm, based on a classical (Cartesian) Fourier decomposition. By monitoring the highest $k-$modes of the dynamical fields, we identify the culprits of the aliasing and propose procedures that cure such instabilities, based on the suppression of the aliased wavelengths. This simple algorithm, together with appropriate treatment of the boundary conditions, can be applied to a variety of gravitational problems, including those related to massive objects dynamics.
The hadronization of partons

description: We review the description of inclusive single unpolarized light hadron production using fragmentation functions in the framework of the factorization theorem. We summarize the factorization of quantities into perturbatively calculable quantities and these universal fragmentation functions, and then discuss some improvements beyond the standard fixed order approach. We discuss the extraction of fragmentation functions for light charged and neutral hadrons using these theoretical tools through global fits to experimental data from reactions at various colliders, in particular from accurate e+e- reactions at LEP, and the subsequent successful predictions of other experimental data, such as data gathered at HERA, the Tevatron and RHIC from these fitted fragmentation functions as allowed by factorization universality. These global fits also impose competitive constraints on alpha_s(M_Z). Emphasis is placed on the need for accurate data from ep and pp(pbar) reactions in which the hadron species is identified in order to constrain the separate fragmentation functions of each quark flavour and hadron species.
The effect of antecedent muscle tension levels on the performance of selected motor activities
Creators: name: Shultz, Terry Donald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The general purpose of this thesis was to determine whether future research involving EMG biofeedback as a pre-competition muscle relaxation technique for competitive athletes was warranted. More specifically, the goals were first to determine if there were increases in the muscle tension levels of competing athletes prior to competitive events and then to determine whether such increases could affect the performance of motor tasks. In Experiment 1 the muscle tension levels of the right forearm flexor and quadricep muscle groups of 10 collegiate wrestlers were monitored prior to a competitive event There was a significant increase in the levels of muscle tension of the right forearm flexor group. In Experiment 2 subjects were asked to reproduce these increases in muscle tension with the aid of EMG biofeedback prior to the performance of three motor skills. It was discovered that such increases in muscle tension disrupted the performance of both the Hand-Steadiness and Grip-Strength Tests. Thus, competitive athletes do have elevated pre-competition levels of muscle tension which may disrupt some kinds of motor performance. The present results, therefore, suggest that future re search involving EMG biofeedback as a pre-competition muscle relaxation technique for competitive athletes is warranted.

description: We revisit the old (fourth-order or quadratically generated) gravity model of Starobinsky in four space-time dimensions, and derive the (inflaton) scalar potential in the equivalent scalar-tensor gravity model via a Legendre-Weyl transform. The inflaton scalar potential is used to compute the (CMB) observables of inflation associated with curvature perturbations (namely, the scalar and tensor spectral indices, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio), including the new next-to-leading-order terms with respect to the inverse number of e-foldings. The results are compared to the recent (WMAP5) experimental bounds. We confirm both mathematical and physical equivalence between f(R) gravity theories and the corresponding scalar-tensor gravity theories.

description: Spin transport in graphene carries the potential of a long spin diffusion length at room temperature. However, extrinsic relaxation processes limit the current experimental values to 1-2 um. We present Hanle spin precession measurements in gated lateral spin valve devices in the low to high (up to 10^13 cm^-2) carrier density range of graphene. A linear scaling between the spin diffusion length and the diffusion coefficient is observed. We measure nearly identical spin- and charge diffusion coefficients indicating that electron-electron interactions are relatively weak and transport is limited by impurity potential scattering. When extrapolated to the maximum carrier mobilities of 2x10^5 cm^2/Vs, our results predict that a considerable increase in the spin diffusion length should be possible.

description: The development of robotic solutions for agriculture requires advanced perception capabilities that can work reliably in any crop stage. For example, to automatise the tomato harvesting process in greenhouses, the visual perception system needs to detect the tomato in any life cycle stage (flower to the ripe tomato). The state-of-the-art for visual tomato detection focuses mainly on ripe tomato, which has a distinctive colour from the background. This paper contributes with an annotated visual dataset of green and reddish tomatoes. This kind of dataset is uncommon and not available for research purposes. This will enable further developments in edge artificial intelligence for in situ and in real-time visual tomato detection required for the development of harvesting robots. Considering this dataset, five deep learning models were selected, trained and benchmarked to detect green and reddish tomatoes grown in greenhouses. Considering our robotic platform specifications, only the Single-Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) and YOLO architectures were considered. The results proved that the system can detect green and reddish tomatoes, even those occluded by leaves. SSD MobileNet v2 had the best performance when compared against SSD Inception v2, SSD ResNet 50, SSD ResNet 101 and YOLOv4 Tiny, reaching an F1-score of 66.15%, an mAP of 51.46% and an inference time of 16.44 ms with the NVIDIA Turing Architecture platform, an NVIDIA Tesla T4, with 12 GB. YOLOv4 Tiny also had impressive results, mainly concerning inferring times of about 5 ms.

description: Lo studio svolto in merito alle tecniche di produzione di componenti strutturali in materiale composito ha permesso il raggiungimento di una precisa consapevolezza dello stato dell’arte del settore, in particolare in riferimento ai processi attualmente utilizzati per l’industrializzazione in media-grande serie.
Con l’obiettivo di sintetizzare i principali vantaggi delle tecnologie suddette e permettere la realizzazione di forme più complesse, si è proceduto all’analisi di fattibilità, attraverso uno studio funzionale e una prima progettazione di una tecnologia di produzione per nastratura automatizzata di componenti strutturali in materiale composito. 
Si è voluto quindi dimostrare la flessibilità e la consistenza del processo disegnando un telaio nastrato in carbonio, intercambiabile al telaio FSAE 2009 in tubolare d’acciaio (stessi punti di attacco motore, punti di attacco telaietto posteriore, attacchi sospensioni anteriori) e che garantisca un sostanziale vantaggio in termini di peso, a pari rigidezza torsionale.
La caratterizzazione di tale telaio è stata eseguita mediante l'utilizzo del calcolo strutturale, validato da prove sperimentali.
description: The study done on the techniques of structural components production made ​​in composite materials has permitted the achievement of a precise knowledge of the state of art, particularly in reference to the processes currently used for the industrialization in medium-large series.
With the aim to synthesize the main advantages of these technologies and to allow the production of more complex shapes, the feasibility was examined, through a functional study and a first design of a production technology for automated taping of structural components in composite material.
The flexibility and consistency of the process was demonstrated by drawing a frame interchangeable with the 2009 FSAE chassis with tubular steel (same engine attachment, same rear frame attachments and same front suspension attacks), and which guarantees a substantial advantage in terms of weight, maintaining the same torsional stiffness.
The characterization of such frame has been made ​​through Cae analisys, validated by experimental tests.

description: This thesis is a collection of essays related to the topic of innovation in the service sector. The choice of this structure is functional to the purpose of single out some of the relevant issues and try to tackle them, revising first the state of the literature and then proposing a way forward. Three relevant issues has been therefore selected: (i) the definition of innovation in the service sector and the connected question of measurement of innovation; (ii) the issue of productivity in services; (iii) the classification of innovative firms in the service sector.
Facing the first issue, chapter II shows how the initial width of the original Schumpeterian definition of innovation has been narrowed and then passed to the service sector form the manufacturing one in a reduce technological form.
Chapter III tackle the issue of productivity in services, discussing the difficulties for measuring productivity in a context where the output is often immaterial. We reconstruct the dispute on the Baumol’s cost disease argument and propose two different ways to go forward in the research on productivity in services: redefining  the output along the line of a characteristic approach; and redefining the inputs, particularly analysing which kind of input it’s worth saving.
Chapter IV derives an integrated taxonomy of innovative service and manufacturing firms, using data coming from the 2008 CIS survey for Italy. This taxonomy is based on the enlarged definition of “innovative firm” deriving from the Schumpeterian definition of innovation and classify firms using a cluster analysis techniques. The result is the emergence of a four cluster solution, where firms are differentiated by the breadth of the innovation activities in which they are involved. Chapter 5 reports some of the main conclusions of each singular previous chapter and the points worth of further research in the future.

description: We aimed to evaluate the role of anti-TNF-alpha therapy with infliximab and adalimumab in a cohort of pediatric patients followed by our Center from 2002 to 2012. The cohort of patients examined consisted of 40 patients: 34 with Crohn disease (85%), 5 with ulcerative colitis (12.5%), one with chronic pouchitis after IPAA for ulcerative colitis (2.5%). 
All patients were treated with the anti-TNF-α biologic agents infliximab and adalimumab. 
Thirty-six received infliximab therapy: 19/36 received only infliximab, 17/36 received infliximab and then adalimumab due to loss of response to infliximab and steroid dependency; 4 patients received only adalimumab (infliximab-naïve).
Anti-TNF treatment was started before 18 years of age in 34 patients: 29 received infliximab and 5 started adalimumab during childhood. Medical charts were reviewed and safety and efficacy of anti-TNF-alpha have been determined in this population.

description: Many factors influence the propensity of young women to seek appropriate maternal healthcare, and they need to be considered when analyzing these women’s reproductive behavior. This study aimed to contribute to the analysis concerning Kenyan young women’s determinants on maternal healthcare-seeking behavior for the 5 years preceding the 2008/9 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey. The specific objectives were to: investigate the individual and contextual variables that may explain maternal healthcare habits; measure the individual, household and community effect on maternal healthcare attitudes in young women; assess the link between young women’s characteristics and the use of facilities for maternal healthcare; find a relationship between young women’s behavior and the community where they live; examine how the role of the local presence of healthcare facilities influences reproductive behavior, and if the specificity of services offered by healthcare facilities affects their inclination to use healthcare facilities, and measure the geographic differences that influence the propensity to seek appropriate maternal healthcare. The analysis of factors associated with maternal healthcare-seeking behavior for young women in Kenya was investigated using multilevel models. We performed three major analyses, which concerned the individual and contextual determinants influencing antenatal care (discussed in Part 6), delivery care (Part 7), and postnatal care (Part 8). Our results show that there is a significant variation in antenatal, delivery and postnatal care between communities, even if the majority of variability is explained by individual characteristics. There are differences at the women’s level on the probability of receiving antenatal care and delivering in a healthcare facility instead of at home. Moreover, community factors and availability of healthcare facilities on the territory are also crucial in influencing young women’s behavior. Therefore, policies addressed to youth’s reproductive health should also consider geographic inequalities and different types of barriers in access to healthcare facilities.

On the importance of wave planet interactions for the migration of two super-Earths embedded in a protoplanetary disk

description: We investigate a repulsion mechanism between two low-mass planets migrating in a protoplanetary disk, for which the relative migration switches from convergent to divergent. This mechanism invokes density waves emitted by one planet transferring angular momentum to the coorbital region of the other and then directly to it through the horseshoe drag. We formulate simple analytical estimates, which indicate when the repulsion mechanism is effective. One condition for a planet to be repelled is that it forms a partial gap in the disk and another is that this should contain enough material to support angular momentum exchange with it. Using two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations we obtain divergent migration of two super-Earths embedded in a protoplanetary disk because of repulsion between them and verify these conditions. To investigate the importance of resonant interaction we study the migration of planet pairs near first-order commensurabilities. It appears that proximity to resonance is significant but not essential. In this context we find repulsion still occurs when the gravitational interaction between the planets is removed sugesting the importance of angular momentum transfer through waves excited by another planet. This may occur through the scattering of coorbital material (the horseshoe drag), or material orbiting close by. Our results indicate that if conditions favor the repulsion between two planets described above, we expect to observe planet pairs with their period ratios greater, often only slightly greater, than resonant values or possibly rarity of commensurability.

When BRITE was a solely Canadian project: The distant prehistory ...

description: The BRITE project started with a call to me from Dr. R. Zee, the Director of the Space Flight Laboratory of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (SFL-UTIAS), in 2002. The question was: "Can astronomy be done with a nano-satellite?" That is, a satellite weighing about 10 times less than the first Canadian astronomical satellite, MOST, which had been built at SFL and was to be launched in 2003. It was a timely question during a period of rapid miniaturization of components and rapidly increasing power of on-board detectors and computers. My answer was ready: "Yes, but the small telescope dimensions will limit the observation to the massive, most-luminous stars." This basic principle has been excellently confirmed by the BRITE Constellation. The original Canadian team utilized the SFL design of a single 20x20x20cm cube, single spectral-band CanX-3 (later renamed BRITE). It was the most complex nano-satellite at that time. Several applications to Canadian federal institutions in 2004 - 2006 failed to secure funds; they were first for a single spectral one-band, then for two satellites. The failure was mostly due to weak support from the Canadian astronomy community, which was awaiting MOST results. The great success of our Austrian colleagues of obtaining their own two-satellite funding in 2006, followed by a similar success in Poland in 2009, led to funding of the Canadian component of the BRITE Constellation in 2011. The six satellites were launched in 2013-2014.

description: The aim of this thesis was to study the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic magnetic fields on potassium currents in neural cell lines ( Neuroblastoma SK-N-BE ), using the whole-cell Patch Clamp technique. Such technique is a sophisticated tool capable to investigate the electrophysiological activity at a single cell, and even at single channel level. The total potassium ion currents through the cell membrane was measured while exposing the cells to a combination of static (DC) and alternate (AC) magnetic fields according to the prediction of the so-called â Ion Resonance Hypothesis â. 
For this purpose we have designed and fabricated a magnetic field exposure system reaching a good compromise between magnetic field homogeneity and accessibility to the biological sample under the microscope. The magnetic field exposure system consists of three large orthogonal pairs of square coils surrounding the patch clamp set up and connected to the signal generation unit, able to generate different combinations of static and/or alternate magnetic fields. Such system was characterized in term of field distribution and uniformity through computation and direct field measurements.
No statistically significant changes in the potassium ion currents through cell membrane were reveled when the cells were exposed to AC/DC magnetic field combination according to the afore mentioned âIon Resonance Hypothesisâ.
