description: We compute the precise logarithmic corrections to mean-field scaling for various quantities describing the uniform spanning tree of the four-dimensional hypercubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^4$. We are particularly interested in the distribution of the past of the origin, that is, the finite piece of the tree that is separated from infinity by the origin. We prove that the probability that the past contains a path of length $n$ is of order $(\log n)^{1/3}n^{-1}$, that the probability that the past contains at least $n$ vertices is of order $(\log n)^{1/6} n^{-1/2}$, and that the probability that the past reaches the boundary of the box $[-n,n]^4$ is of order $(\log n)^{2/3+o(1)}n^{-2}$. An important part of our proof is to prove concentration estimates for the capacity of the four-dimensional loop-erased random walk which may be of independent interest. Our results imply that the Abelian sandpile model also exhibits non-trivial polylogarithmic corrections to mean-field scaling in four dimensions, although it remains open to compute the precise order of these corrections.

From infrastructure to public spaces; How train stations and their design rationales reflect the evolutions of European societies, from the XIXth century to today.

description: The status of train stations in the city has already been the subject of a large number of investigations; let them be literary, artistic or scientific. Can we name a better sign of urbanity than this architectural object combining mobility and centrality? Train stations are a constant element of European cities. They are a link between scales, interconnecting far and close, they are places where things meet. They are the heart of cities inter-modality systems but they also connect cities to a national and international scale. Across there more than one century of existence, they have been confronted to great challenges but also many opportunities that shown in their design. Train stations, as spaces with specific purposes, are not just a sum of devices, nor a sum of wishes from users wanting to take the train. They worked out over time with continuous approximations, learning by doing, and especially by the increasingly fine coordination between behaviours, functions, places and objects that train stations brings together and that make them such special city elements. Architecture and urban planning have the opportunity to perform by perfecting and setting urban patterns, in order to eventually give users the chance to understand and influence their environment. This is even truer for train stations as catalyzers of city characteristics. Given the meaning of the stations at various scale, from the building itself to larger urban systems, we are trying here to understand what drove these projects from the XIXth century to today, in order to hopefully identify some design features that would improve their flexibility and the users experiences in the future. To achieve that, we organize this thesis around answering these questions: How did train stations translate the evolution of European societies from the XIXth century to today in the way they were designed? Does the station design have an impact on the users experience, both about the travel but also about the city? If so, how to define design rationales to make that space functional and create opportunities for social interactions? In order to achieve that goal, we organized this thesis in two parts, following their own methods. These develop from each other to eventually lead to common results in conclusion. Our entire argumentation is based on three case studies, to which we apply each of our assomptions in order to confirm or refute them. We decided to analyze 3 cases of European train stations that we know well, that were built first in the XIXth century and went or are going through a renovation process. They are Gare Saint-Roch in Montpellier - France, Norreport Station in Copenhagen - Denmark and Gare du Nord in Paris - France.
Arbitrary high-order linearly implicit energy-preserving algorithms for Hamiltonian PDEs

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we present a novel strategy to systematically construct linearly implicit energy-preserving schemes with arbitrary order of accuracy for Hamiltonian PDEs. Such novel strategy is based on the newly developed exponential scalar variable (ESAV) approach that can remove the bounded-from-blew restriction of nonlinear terms in the Hamiltonian functional and provides a totally explicit discretization of the auxiliary variable without computing extra inner products, which make it more effective and applicable than the traditional scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach. To achieve arbitrary high-order accuracy and energy preservation, we utilize the symplectic Runge-Kutta method for both solution variables and the auxiliary variable, where the values of internal stages in nonlinear terms are explicitly derived via an extrapolation from numerical solutions already obtained in the preceding calculation. A prediction-correction strategy is proposed to further improve the accuracy. Fourier pseudo-spectral method is then employed to obtain fully discrete schemes. Compared with the SAV schemes, the solution variables and the auxiliary variable in these ESAV schemes are now decoupled. Moreover, when the linear terms are of constant coefficients, the solution variables can be explicitly solved by using the fast Fourier transform. Numerical experiments are carried out for three Hamiltonian PDEs to demonstrate the efficiency and conservation of the ESAV schemes.

description: AbstractBuildings are responsible for a significant fraction of the overall electrical load. Given the increasing penetration of renewables into the generation mix, it is important to make building loads flexible, to better match the variability in generation. Of course, building loads can be made arbitrarily flexible using sufficient stationary storage, but this comes at considerable cost. In this paper, we investigate how to reduce this cost by exploiting electric vehicle (EV) charging control for unidirectional and bidirectional charging. Specifically, we design a model-predictive control algorithm to reshape building load to match a specified load shape. In realistic settings and for two use cases, we investigate the degree to which the amount of stationary storage is reduced using EV charging control. In both cases, we find that our controller reduces the need for stationary storage compared to existing solutions. Moreover, bidirectional EV charging control substantially reduces the required amount of stationary storage.

description: We develop new mathematical tools for the study of the double copy and colour-kinematics duality for tree-level scattering amplitudes using the properties of Lie polynomials. We show that the $S$-map that was defined to simplify super-Yang--Mills multiparticle superfields is in fact a new Lie bracket on the dual space of Lie polynomials. We introduce {\it Lie polynomial currents} based on Berends-Giele recursion for biadjoint scalar tree amplitudes that take values in Lie polynomials. Field theory amplitudes are obtained from the Lie polynomial amplitudes by numerators characterized as homomorphisms from the free Lie algebra to kinematic data. Examples are presented for the biadjoint scalar, Yang--Mills theory and the nonlinear sigma model. That these theories satisfy the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson amplitude relations follows from the identities we prove for the Lie polynomial amplitudes and the existence of BCJ numerators. A KLT map from Lie polynomials to their dual is obtained by nesting the S-map Lie bracket; the matrix elements of this map yield a recently proposed `generalized KLT matrix', and this reduces to the usual KLT matrix when its entries are restricted to a basis. Using this, we give an algebraic proof for the cancellation of double poles in the KLT formula for gravity amplitudes. We finish with some remarks on numerators and colour-kinematics duality from this perspective.

First discovery of a magnetic field in a main sequence delta Scuti star: the Kepler star HD188774

description: The Kepler space mission provided a wealth of δ Sct-γ Dor hybrid candidates. While some may be genuine hybrids, others might be misclassified due to the presence of a binary companion or to rotational modulation caused by magnetism and related surface inhomogeneities. In particular, the Kepler δ Sct-γ Dor hybrid candidate HD 188774 shows a few low frequencies in its light and radial velocity curves, whose origin is unclear. In this work, we check for the presence of a magnetic field in HD 188774. We obtained two spectropolarimetric measurements with ESPaDOnS at CFHT. The data were analysed with the least squares deconvolution method. We detected a clear magnetic signature in the Stokes V LSD profiles. The origin of the low frequencies detected in HD 188774 is therefore most probably the rotational modulation of surface spots possibly related to the presence of a magnetic field. Consequently, HD 188774 is not a genuine hybrid δ Sct-γ Dor star, but the first known magnetic main sequence δ Sct star. This makes it a prime target for future asteroseismic and spot modelling. This result casts new light on the interpretation of the Kepler results for other δ Sct-γ Dor hybrid candidates.

On the Use of Large Area Tactile Feedback for Contact Data Processing and Robot Control
Creators: name: ALBINI, ALESSANDRO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: The progress in microelectronics and embedded systems has recently enabled the realization of devices for robots functionally similar to the human skin, providing large area tactile feedback over the whole robot body. The availability of such kind of systems, commonly referred to as extit{robot skins}, makes possible to measure the contact pressure distribution applied on the robot body over an arbitrary area. Large area tactile systems open new scenarios on contact processing, both for control and cognitive level processing, enabling the interpretation of physical contacts. The contents proposed in this thesis address these topics by proposing techniques exploiting large area tactile feedback for: (i) contact data processing and classification; (ii) robot control.

description: Integral field unit (IFU) data of the iconic Pillars of Creation in M16 are presented. The ionisation structure of the pillars was studied in great detail over almost the entire visible wavelength range, and maps of the relevant physical parameters, e.g. extinction, electron density, electron temperature, line-of-sight velocity of the ionised and neutral gas are shown. In agreement with previous authors, we find that the pillar tips are being ionised and photo-evaporated by the massive members of the nearby cluster NGC 6611. They display a stratified ionisation structure where the emission lines peak in a descending order according to their ionisation energies. The IFU data allowed us to analyse the kinematics of the photo-evaporative flow in terms of the stratified ionisation structure, and we find that, in agreement with simulations, the photo-evaporative flow is traced by a blueshift in the position-velocity profile. The gas kinematics and ionisation structure have allowed us to produce a sketch of the 3D geometry of the Pillars, positioning the pillars with respect to the ionising cluster stars. We use a novel method to detect a previously unknown bipolar outflow at the tip of the middle pillar and suggest that it has an embedded protostar as its driving source. Furthermore we identify a candidate outflow in the leftmost pillar. With the derived physical parameters and ionic abundances, we estimate a mass loss rate due to the photo-evaporative flow of 70 M$_{\odot}$ Myr$^{-1}$ which yields an expected lifetime of approximately 3 Myr.

Rigidity of superdense coding

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The famous superdense coding protocol of Bennett and Wiesner demonstrates that it is possible to communicate two bits of classical information by sending only one qubit and using a shared EPR pair. Our first result is that an arbitrary protocol for achieving this task (where there are no assumptions on the sender's encoding operations or the dimension of the shared entangled state) is locally equivalent to the canonical Bennett-Wiesner protocol. In other words, the superdense coding task is rigid. In particular, we show that the sender and receiver only use additional entanglement (beyond the EPR pair) as a source of classical randomness. We also investigate several questions about higher-dimensional superdense coding, where the goal is to communicate one of $d^2$ possible messages by sending a $d$-dimensional quantum state, for general dimensions $d$. Unlike the $d=2$ case (i.e. sending a single qubit), there can be inequivalent superdense coding protocols for higher $d$. We present concrete constructions of inequivalent protocols, based on constructions of inequivalent orthogonal unitary bases for all $d > 2$. Finally, we analyze the performance of superdense coding protocols where the encoding operators are independently sampled from the Haar measure on the unitary group. Our analysis involves bounding the distinguishability of random maximally entangled states, which may be of independent interest.

On the Design and Implementation of Next Generation Cyber Ranges
Creators: name: RUSSO, ENRICO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Cybersecurity attacks are on the rise, and a competent workforce able to face real-life threats is urgently needed. Their training requires practical learning opportunities and, in particular, hands-on exercises. Cyber Defense Exercises (CDX) can meet the demand for realistic, hands-on training. Unfortunately, running a CDX requires dedicated infrastructures, namely Cyber Ranges, to host the training scenarios. Furthermore, building the computing infrastructure is only the first step. Indeed, the design, verification, and deployment of scenarios are costly and error-prone activities. The reason is that a misconfiguration in the scenario can compromise the exercise and the training goals. The result is that CDX of real-world complexity are so expensive that only a limited number of organizations can afford them. In this thesis, we consider the problem of designing an effective and usable Cyber Range capable of hosting training scenarios for the next generation of security experts. We start our investigation by reconsidering common training activities such as Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. In particular, we present our experience with a non-formal training activity for university students that we organized. The goal was to test the overall effectiveness of acquired skills and analyze the challenge development process. By leveraging this experience, we focus on the implementation of a Cyber Range. We present CRACK, a framework for the (i) design, (ii) model-based verification, (iii) generation, and (iv) automated testing of cyber scenarios. At the core of our approach stands the Scenario Definition Language (SDL) that extends TOSCA, an OASIS standard for the specification and orchestration of virtual cloud infrastructures. Our SDL allows for the defining and formally verifying specification of the scenario elements and their interplay. Verified scenarios are automatically deployed and tested to check if they are ready to be played. Finally, we use our Cyber Range to create a scenario replicating a realistic system involving the use of the emerging Fog computing paradigm. As a side effect of this activity, we introduce DIOXIN, an extension of the considered Fog operating system that mitigates found weaknesses.

description: Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in the United States, yet the role of genetics in individual symptoms associated with cannabis use disorders has not been evaluated. The purpose of the present set of analyses was to describe the symptomatology and estimate the heritability of DSM-IV criteria/symptoms of cannabis dependence in a large sample of families. Participants were 2524 adults, participating in the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Family Study of alcoholism. Seventy percent of the sample had ever used cannabis and 13.9% met DSM-IV criteria for cannabis dependence. Younger age at first cannabis use was found to be significantly associated with a shortened survival to becoming cannabis dependent. Although a greater percentage of men met criteria for cannabis dependence, women were found to demonstrate “telescoping” as indexed by a shorter survival time from initial use to dependence as compared to men. A cannabis withdrawal syndrome was identified in users, the primary symptoms of which were nervousness, appetite change, and sleep disturbance. Cannabis use (h2 = 0.31) and dependence (h2 = 0.20), age at first use, individual DSM-IV criteria for dependence, and cannabis-use associated symptoms of depression, trouble concentrating and paranoia were all found to be heritable. These findings suggest that within this population that cannabis use and dependence, as well as individual cannabis dependence symptoms have a significant heritable component, that cannabis dependence is more likely to occur when use begins during adolescence, and that the cannabis dependence syndrome includes a number of heritable untoward psychiatric side effects including withdrawal.

description: The expensive cost of computing exact exchange in periodic systems limits the application range of density functional theory with hybrid functionals. To reduce the computational cost of exact change, we present a range-separated algorithm to compute electron repulsion integrals for Gaussian-type crystal basis. The algorithm splits the full-range Coulomb interactions into short-range and long-range parts, which are respectively computed in real and reciprocal space. This approach significantly reduces the overall computational cost as integrals can be efficiently computed in both regions. The algorithm can efficiently handle large numbers of k points with limited CPU and memory resources. As a demonstration, we performed an all-electron k-point Hartree-Fock calculation for LiH crystal with 1 million Gaussian basis functions, which was completed on a desktop computer in 1400 CPU hours.

description: Questa tesi consiste, in gran parte, in una ricerca di metateoria del diritto avente ad oggetto alcune delle principali teorie dei diritti elaborate in ambito angloamericano in epoca contemporanea. In minor misura, presenta la proposta di alcuni elementi rilevanti che una teoria analitica dei diritti dovrebbe comprendere. Porto a compimento una ricostruzione e un?analisi critica degli elementi pi� significativi, delle tesi e degli impegni teorici assunti, delle teorie dei diritti difese da Bentham, Hart, MacCormick, Raz e Kramer. Inoltre, il corpus comprende anche la teoria de Hohfeld, cos� come altri contributi di ambito anglofono e latino. Nello sviluppo della ricerca, impiego la nozione di ?interesse? come elemento di paragone e di chiarimento della nozione di ?diritto soggettivo? e, partendo dall?ipotesi che i diritti proteggono e promuovono interessi, elaboro, alla fine della ricerca, una concezione della funzione dei diritti che integra la teoria dell?interesse e la teoria della volont�. Cos�, i compiti ricostruttivo, critico e propositivo sono diretti a stabilire quali siano le argomentazioni pi� solide in relazione alla funzione dei diritti. Sullo sfondo di questo lavoro vi � la convinzione teorica che la funzione dei diritti costituisce una componente centrale di una teoria dei diritti; in poche parole, pretendo rispondere a domande cruciali che ogni teoria dei diritti deve affrontare.

description: Accurate software effort estimation has been a challenge for many software practitioners and project managers. Underestimation leads to disruption in the projects estimated cost and delivery. On the other hand, overestimation causes outbidding and financial losses in business. Many software estimation models exist; however, none have been proven to be the best in all situations. In this paper, a decision tree forest (DTF) model is compared to a traditional decision tree (DT) model, as well as a multiple linear regression model (MLR). The evaluation was conducted using ISBSG and Desharnais industrial datasets. Results show that the DTF model is competitive and can be used as an alternative in software effort prediction.

description: We construct planar black hole solutions in AdS_3 and AdS_4 in which the boundary CFT is perturbed by marginally relevant quenched disorder. We show that the entropy density of the horizon has the scaling temperature dependence s \sim T^{(d-1)/z} (with d=2,3). The dynamical critical exponent z is computed numerically and, at weak disorder, analytically. These results lend support to the claim that the perturbed CFT flows to a disordered quantum critical theory in the IR.

description: Our current food production systems are unsustainable, driven in part through the application of chemically fixed nitrogen. We need alternatives to empower farmers to maximise their productivity sustainably. Therefore, we explore the potential for transferring the root nodule symbiosis from legumes to other crops. Studies over the last decades have shown that preexisting developmental and signal transduction processes were recruited during the evolution of legume nodulation. This allows us to utilise these preexisting processes to engineer nitrogen fixation in target crops. Here, we highlight our understanding of legume nodulation and future research directions that might help to overcome the barrier of achieving self-fertilising crops.

description: We examined how drinking patterns change as adolescents transition to high school, particularly as a function of parental involvement. Stress associated with the transition to high school may deplete psychological resources for coping with negative daily emotions in an environment when opportunities to drink are more common. A cohort of elevated-risk middle school students completed daily negative affect (sadness, worry, anger, and stress) and alcohol use assessments before and after the transition to high school, resulting in a measurement burst design. Adolescents who reported less parental involvement were at higher risk for drinking on any given day. After (but not before) the transition to high school, daily within-person fluctuations of sadness predicted an increased probability of same-day alcohol use for adolescents who reported that their parents were minimally involved in their lives. The other negative affect indicators were not predictive of use. Our results suggest that the transition to high school may represent an important intervention leverage point, particularly for adolescents who lack adequate parental support to help them cope with day-to-day changes in sadness.

description: We examined the moderating effects of parenting on the temporal relationship between negative affect and subsequent alcohol use in adolescents as an indicator of self-medication. Specifically, we tested whether youth are more likely to self-medicate if they receive less parental social support.
Age of first cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use among U.S. biracial/ethnic youth: A population-based study

description: This study examines age of first cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use among self-identified biracial youth, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). We found an intermediate biracial phenomenon in which some biracial youth initiate substance use at ages that fall between the initiation ages of their 2 corresponding monoracial groups. When controlling for the covariates, our findings show White-Asian biracial youth begin smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol at earlier ages than Whites and engaging in all forms of substance use at earlier ages than Asian youth. Results indicate White-American Indian youth start smoking cigarettes at earlier ages than all biracial and monoracial groups. Our findings underscore the need for future research to examine substance-use initiation and progression among biracial/ethnic youth.
Absence of Critical Points of Solutions to the Helmholtz Equation in 3D

description: The focus of this paper is to show the absence of critical points for the solutions to the Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^{3}$, given by \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\rm{div}(a\,\nabla u_ω^{g})-ωqu_ω^{g}=0\quad\text{in $Ω$,}\\ u_ω^{g}=g\quad\text{on $\partialΩ$.} \end{array}\right. \] We prove that for an admissible $g$ there exists a finite set of frequencies $K$ in a given interval and an open cover $\overlineΩ=\cup_{ω\in K}Ω_ω$ such that $|\nabla u_ω^{g}(x)|>0$ for every $ω\in K$ and $x\inΩ_ω$. The set $K$ is explicitly constructed. If the spectrum of the above problem is simple, which is true for a generic domain $Ω$, the admissibility condition on $g$ is a generic property.

PRICES ON GAS

description: This paper examines the gas balance of Europe, its changes, as well as any consequences and the possibility of such a situation. The authors identified the main prospects for the development of the European gas market in the context of the international global energy revolution, as well as its prospects, taking into account the dependence of the EU countries on Russian gas. The main findings of the demand analysis suggest that the growing demand in Europe for a sample of streaming gas is entailing very sharp price increases, which is a real reminder of the fragility and fragility of the energy system during the current changes. The main question to be decided is whether the crisis will act as a catalyst for the transition to extreme energy or as a catalyst for rapid action in this implementation.

description: The classical Stefan problem, concerning mere heat-transfer during solid-liquid phase transition, is here enhanced towards mechanical effects. The Eulerian description at large displacements is used with convective and Zaremba-Jaumann corotational time derivatives, linearized by using the additive Green-Naghdi's decomposition in (objective) rates. In particular, the liquid phase is a viscoelastic fluid while creep and rupture of the solid phase is considered in the Jeffreys viscoelastic rheology exploiting the phase-field model and a concept of slightly (so-called "semi") compressible materials. The $L^1$-theory for the heat equation is adopted for the Stefan problem relaxed by allowing for kinetic superheating/supercooling effects during the solid-liquid phase transition. A rigorous proof of existence of weak solutions is provided for an incomplete melting, employinga time-discretisation approximation.
