description: Compiuta un'ampia digressione di carattere interdisciplinare in tema di suicidio tale da abbracciare considerazioni di natura sociologica, letteraria, filosofica, storica e giuridica, si � proceduto ad una valutazione delle forme di repressione concepite in passato per rispondere a condotte agevolatrici di tale gesto, giungendosi da ultimo a ponderare il dibattito sorto in seno alle scuole penalistiche dell'epoca, le soluzioni adottate dai Codici Zanardelli e Rocco nonch� i rilievi dottrinali da esse immediatamente stimolati. Tale premessa si � rivelata imprescindibile per un'approfondita analisi del procedimento a carico di Marco Cappato, attingendo da esso interessanti spunti di riflessione riguardanti, prima ancora che le disposizioni penali in materia di fine vita, i principi costituzionali e i valori tatti da simili scelte terminali. La riflessione sulla dignit�, cos� come quella inerente i confini dell'autodeterminazione in materia sanitaria, ha condotto a soppesare la possibilit� di disciplinare trattamenti di eutanasia attiva diretta, confrontandosi con i numerosi ostacoli opposti e chiamando in causa la nozione di ?diritto a morire?. Il terzo capitolo, riservando alcune considerazioni preliminari al rapporto fra Diritto e morale e alle funzioni tradizionalmente assolte dalla sanzione penale, propone l'elaborazione di una scriminante procedurale tale da riconoscere il carattere di liceit� di pratiche di ?aiuto medico a morire?. L'analisi dei suoi requisiti operativi � affiancata ad alcune riflessioni in tema di omicidio pietatis causa, seguite dall'annosa questione relativa all'esercizio dell'obiezione di coscienza da parte del personale sanitario e da alcuni profili di responsabilit� del medico coinvolto in procedure di nuova concezione. Infine, l'esigenza di un'indagine attenta al metodo comparatistico ha reso ineludibile il riferimento a due recenti stimoli legislativo e giurisprudenziale, rispettivamente rappresentati dalla proposta di Ley Org�nica presentata al Congreso spagnolo (approvata in via definitiva il 18 marzo 2021) e dalla sentenza con cui il Bundesverfassungsgericht ha dichiarato l'illegittimit� costituzionale del � 217 StGB in materia di agevolazione al suicidio prestata in forma commerciale.

description: Nonlinearity of the liquid scintillator energy response is a key to measuring the neutrino energy spectrum in reactor neutrino experiments such as Daya Bay and JUNO. We measured in laboratory the nonlinearity of the Linear Alkyl Benzene based liquid scintillator, which is used in Daya Bay and will be used in JUNO, via Compton scattering process. By tagging the scattered gamma from the liquid scintillator sample simultaneously at seven angles, the instability of the system was largely cancelled. The accurately measured nonlinearity will improve the precision of the $θ_{13}$, $Δm^2$, and reactor neutrino spectrum measurements at Daya Bay.

Subjects: water footprint, urban water planning

description: The Water Footprint - WF is an indicator of anthropogenic pressures on aquatic systems. It is widespread and scholars have developed numerous insights into the virtual water flux activated by the global trade in agricultural and livestock products. In this study the flow of water resources that crosses the urban territories is reviewed through some contributions by researchers of WF and Urban Metabolism. Two new indicators are then developed to measure the phases of the anthropogenic cycle of water, starting from urban consumption. These indicators were then used to measure the urban footprint in Italy calculated as: drinking water consumption and volumes lost due to waterproofing of urban land. The total value of the blueprint of Italian municipalities is estimated at UBW = 5.184ml / m3 / year, while the green footprint is UGW = 1.123.860 ml / m3 / year. The calculation method is proposed so that it can be a useful tool for planners to identify the types of water use in urban areas to develop an bottom up approach.

description: Random shifting typically appears in credibility models whereas random scaling is often encountered in stochastic models for claim sizes reflecting the time-value property of money. In this article we discuss some aspects of random shifting and random scaling in insurance focusing in particular on credibility models, dependence structure of claim sizes in collective risk models, and extreme value models for the joint dependence of large losses. We show that specifying certain actuarial models using random shifting or scaling has some advantages for both theoretical treatments and practical applications.

title: Essays on exchange rates
Creators: name: Kunkler, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: The thesis consists of eleven published papers and begins with a Contextual chapter that provides an overview of the papers. This is followed by the individual papers grouped into three broad chapters, namely, Choice of numéraire for exchange rate models (three papers), Frankel-Wei regression framework, choice of common numéraire, and implied betas (three papers), and Generalisation of currency rates with respect to other asset classes (five papers). The thesis ends with a Conclusion chapter. The specific focus of the thesis is on the choice of numéraire and the numéraire effect in the currency market, where currencies can be priced relative to different numéraires. The numéraire choice is between single-currency numéraires and multicurrency numéraires. For example, bilateral exchange rates have single-currency numéraires and multilateral exchange rates have multicurrency numéraires. More generally, the scope of the thesis widened to the choice of numéraire and the numéraire effect in other asset classes, such as precious metals, oil, and equities, which are usually priced relative to single-currency numéraires. For example, precious metals and oil are typically priced in US dollars, and equities are typically priced in their local currencies. The main contributions of the eleven papers are: to compare different numéraires, to provide methods to estimate, and remove, the numéraire effect; and to highlight the impact of the numéraire effect. Most papers separate the numéraire from an asset’s price. For single-currency numéraires, the numéraire is proxied with a relative currency rate, and for multicurrency numéraires, the numéraire is proxied with a portfolio of relative currency rates. The separation allows researchers to measure the numéraire effect, decompose estimators of regression coefficients, test for aggregation bias, and test the significance of hedge ratios. In summary, many of the papers show that the choice of numéraire matters and that the numéraire effect can have a significant impact on estimators, results, interpretations, and conclusions. To accurately measure the relationship between two assets it is recommended that researchers use a multicurrency numéraire that consists of a well-diversified basket of currencies.

description: In recent times we have witnessed proliferation of indicators and models for measuring sustainability. This reveals the lack of common and shared scientific paradigm/common framework from which to confront the issue of quantitatively assessing the sustainability of our society.

With the aim of moving forward the definition of such common framework, in this article we explain an easy formal methodology for designing urban sustainability indicators based on Fuzzy Logic / Fuzzy Sets Theory. The interest of this methodology is threefold:
• Firstly, formal procedures enable easier testing, a most fundamental issue forgotten in many current proposals of sustainability indicators.
• Secondly, a formal procedure is easily understandable and can become a common language allowing shared use of the indicators and facilitating their continuous improvement.
• And thirdly, fuzzy logic is widely used in computing and artificial intelligence, thus facilitating the progressive automation of our sustainability monitoring models.

To help understand the procedure, the design of two indicators is reviewed.

A symbiotic nondipolar droplet supersolid in a binary dipolar-nondipolar Dy-Rb mixture

description: We demonstrate the formation of two types of symbiotic nondipolar droplet supersolid in a binary dipolar-nondipolar mixture with an interspecies atraction, where the dipolar (nondipolar) atoms are trapped (untrapped). In the absence of an interspecies attraction, in the first type, a dipolar droplet supersolid exists, whereas in the second type, there are no droplets in the dipolar component. To illustrate, we consider a $^{164}$Dy-$^{87}$Rb mixture, where the untrapped $^{87}$Rb supersolid sticks to the trapped $^{164}$Dy supersolid due to the interspecies attraction and forms a symbiotic supersolid with overlapping droplets. The first (second) type of symbiotic supersolid emerges for the scattering length $ a_1=85a_0$ ($a_1=95a_0$) of $^{164}$Dy atom, while under an appropriate trap a dipolar droplet supersolid exists (does not exist) for no interspecies interaction, where $a_0$ the Bohr radius. This study is based on the numerical solution of an improved binary mean-field model, where we introduce an intraspecies Lee-Huang-Yang interaction in the dipolar component, which stops a dipolar collapse and forms a dipolar supersolid.To observe this symbiotic droplet supersolid, one should prepare the corresponding fully trapped dipolar-nondipolar supersolid and then remove the trap on the nondipolar atoms.

description: Biological systems produce outputs in response to variable inputs. Input-output relations tend to follow a few regular patterns. For example, many chemical processes follow the S-shaped Hill equation relation between input concentrations and output concentrations. That Hill equation pattern contradicts the fundamental Michaelis-Menten theory of enzyme kinetics. I use the discrepancy between the expected Michaelis-Menten process of enzyme kinetics and the widely observed Hill equation pattern of biological systems to explore the general properties of biological input-output relations. I start with the various processes that could explain the discrepancy between basic chemistry and biological pattern. I then expand the analysis to consider broader aspects that shape biological input-output relations. Key aspects include the input-output processing by component subsystems and how those components combine to determine the system's overall input-output relations. That aggregate structure often imposes strong regularity on underlying disorder. Aggregation imposes order by dissipating information as it flows through the components of a system. The dissipation of information may be evaluated by the analysis of measurement and precision, explaining why certain common scaling patterns arise so frequently in input-output relations. I discuss how aggregation, measurement and scale provide a framework for understanding the relations between pattern and process. The regularity imposed by those broader structural aspects sets the contours of variation in biology. Thus, biological design will also tend to follow those contours. Natural selection may act primarily to modulate system properties within those broad constraints.

description: We study the information content of summary statistics built from the multi-scale topology of large-scale structures on primordial non-Gaussianity of the local and equilateral type. We use halo catalogs generated from numerical N-body simulations of the Universe on large scales as a proxy for observed galaxies. Besides calculating the Fisher matrix for halos in real space, we also check more realistic scenarios in redshift space. Without needing to take a distant observer approximation, we place the observer on a corner of the box. We also add redshift errors mimicking spectroscopic and photometric samples. We perform several tests to assess the reliability of our Fisher matrix, including the Gaussianity of our summary statistics and convergence. We find that the marginalized 1-$σ$ uncertainties in redshift space are $Δf_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc} \sim 16$ and $Δf_{\rm NL}^{\rm equi} \sim 41 $ on a survey volume of $1$ $($Gpc$/h)^3$. These constraints are weakly affected by redshift errors. We close by speculating as to how this approach can be made robust against small-scale uncertainties by exploiting (non)locality.

description: Resource Bases (RBs) are a form of educational provision which may allow Children and Young People (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to be included within a mainstream school environment and access appropriate learning opportunities. Research has started to consider the ways in which this type of educational provision can be beneficial. However, much of the research has focused on RBs which support CYP with social communication and language needs, therefore there is a gap in the literature which considers other needs, such as Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) students. Furthermore, current research around the educational experiences of CYP tends to focus on the perspectives of staff or parents/carers, this means the views of the child is missing. CYP have a right to give their views about decisions which affect them, therefore it is important they are given opportunities to provide their opinions. The current research sought to explore the school experiences of D/HH students being educated within a RB within an outer London borough secondary mainstream school. The current research aimed to have an emancipatory purpose, and as such, a participatory research approach was implemented with the aim to empower the students to provide authentic views on their experiences. Six students took on the role of co-researchers and were involved in the design, data collection, analysis and dissemination of the current research. The students designed the aim and research questions which involved exploring their feelings in relation to their school experience and the support they receive. Individual interviews, focus groups and diary entries were used to collect data on the students’ school experiences and thematic analysis was employed to identify five themes to answer their research question. The students then created presentations to disseminate their findings to their educational setting. The themes identified by the students highlight the importance of relationships with others, including their peers and staff members. In addition, the students discuss how their own acceptance of their identity and self-esteem also influences how they view their school experiences. The findings and the participatory process used within this research has important implications for the educational provision in which the research was conducted and for the students themselves. In addition, the findings may also have implications for educational psychologists in supporting educational settings in enabling the inclusion of D/HH CYP and CYP being educated in RBs.

description: The Diffuse Ionised Gas (DIG) in galaxies traces photoionisation feedback from massive stars. Through three dimensional photoionisation simulations, we study the propagation of ionising photons, photoionisation heating and the resulting distribution of ionised and neutral gas within snapshots of magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a supernova driven turbulent interstellar medium. We also investigate the impact of non-photoionisation heating on observed optical emission line ratios. Inclusion of a heating term which scales less steeply with electron density than photoionisation is required to produce diagnostic emission line ratios similar to those observed with the Wisconsin Hα Mapper. Once such heating terms have been included, we are also able to produce temperatures similar to those inferred from observations of the DIG, with temperatures increasing to above 15000 K at heights |z| > 1 kpc. We find that ionising photons travel through low density regions close to the midplane of the simulations, while travelling through diffuse low density regions at large heights. The majority of photons travel small distances (< 100pc); however some travel kiloparsecs and ionise the DIG.

description: Measuring perceived or objective cyclability or bikeability has drawn less attention compared to walkability, particularly in developing countries like those in South Asia and the Middle East. This paper presents the results of a survey about cyclability in Lahore, Pakistan, focusing on human perceptions rather than the built environment. The overall sample included a total of 379 respondents from three socio-economic classes: those from lower socio-economic backgrounds accessing traditional/older bazaars, respondents from the middle socio-economic class accessing uptown bazaars, and respondents of higher socio-economic status accessing pedestrian shopping malls. The exploratory data collection was conducted in spring 2018 in Lahore by means of a short standard questionnaire with 19 questions, resulting in 17 categorical/dummy variables, two open-ended variables, and two continuous variables targeting socio-economics, bike trip characteristics, biking barriers, and preferred travel specifications. The results showed that the middle socio-economic group was more inclined, flexible, and willing to bike compared to the lower and higher socio-economic-groups. The lower socio-economic group used the bicycle more frequently than the middle socio-economic group. Around half of the middle socio-economic group commutes via bike compared to the lower socio-economic group. There was little to no representation of 55-64 and 65+ age groups in the data. The descriptive findings of this survey indicate some preliminary signs of differences of decisions and perceptions about biking compared to high-income and European countries. These differences need to be tested in future statistical analyses.

Methods for the analysis of time series of multispectral remote sensing images and application to climate change variable estimations
Creators: name: Podsiad?o, Iwona Katarzyna
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: In the last decades, the increasing number of new generation satellite images characterized by a better spectral, spatial and temporal resolution with respect to the past has provided unprecedented source of information for monitoring climate changes.To exploit this wealth of data, powerful and automatic methods to analyze remote sensing images need to be implemented. Accordingly, the objective of this thesis is to develop advanced methods for the analysis of multitemporal multispectral remote sensing images to support climate change applications. The thesis is divided into two main parts and provides four novel contributions to the state-of-the-art. In the first part of the thesis, we exploit multitemporal and multispectral remote sensing data for accurately monitoring two essential climate variables. The first contribution presents a method to improve the estimation of the glacier mass balance provided by physically-based models. Unlike most of the literature approaches, this method integrates together physically-based models, remote sensing data and in-situ measurements to achieve an accurate and comprehensive glacier mass balance estimation. The second contribution addresses the land cover mapping for monitoring climate change at high spatial resolution. Within this work, we developed two processing chains: one for the production of a recent (2019) static high resolution (10 m) land cover map at subcontinental scale, and the other for the production of a long-term record of regional high resolution (30 m) land cover maps. The second part of this thesis addresses the common challenges faced while performing the analysis of multitemporal multispectral remote sensing data. In this context, the third contribution deals with the multispectral images cloud occlusions problem. Differently from the literature, instead of performing computationally expensive cloud restoration techniques, we study the robustness of deep learning architectures such as Long Short Term Memory classifier to cloud cover. Finally, we address the problem of the large scale training set definition for multispectral data classification. To this aim, we propose an approach that leverages on available low resolution land cover maps and domain adaptation techniques to provide representative training sets at large scale. The proposed methods have been tested on Sentinel-2 and Landsat 5, 7, 8 multispectral images. Qualitative and quantitative experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the methods proposed in this thesis.

description: The transition from fossil to renewable energy needs changes in land use. The development of renewable energy sources introduce extra and sometimes new externalities, such as shadows and noise on landscape. There are governments who are experiencing difficulties when developing renewable energy sources especially when existing land owners (and others) start anticipating on those externalities. Therewith, land use conflicts have become a major issue for governments in meeting renewable energy policy objectives. This paper explores the way how three dilemmas: tiers of government dilemma, mode of governance dilemma and norm-setting dilemma are approached by public authorities using policy documents, interviews, literature research and examples of the Dutch energy transition.

A theory of the strain-dependent critical field in Nb3Sn, based on anharmonic phonon generation

description: We propose a theory to explain the strain dependence of the critical properties in A15 superconductors. Starting from the strong-coupling formula for the critical temperature, and assuming that the strain sensitivity stems mostly from the electron-phonon alpha^2F function, we link the strain dependence of the critical properties to a widening of alpha^2F. This widening is attributed to the nonlinear generation of phonons, which takes place in the anharmonic deformation potential induced by the strain. Based on the theory of sum- and difference-frequency wave generation in nonlinear media, we obtain an explicit connection between the widening of alpha^2F and the anharmonic energy. The resulting model is fit to experimental datasets for Nb3Sn, and the anharmonic energy extracted from the fits is compared with first-principles calculations.

description: Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) is a sensing paradigm that has transformed the way that various service providers collect, process, and analyze data. MCS offers novel processes where data is sensed and shared through mobile devices of the users to support various applications and services for cutting-edge technologies. However, various threats, such as data poisoning, clogging task attacks and fake sensing tasks adversely affect the performance of MCS systems, especially their sensing, and computational capacities. Since fake sensing task submissions aim at the successful completion of the legitimate tasks and mobile device resources, they also drain MCS platform resources. In this work, Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM), an artificial neural network that is trained in an unsupervised manner, is utilized to pre-cluster the legitimate data in the dataset, thus fake tasks can be detected more effectively through less imbalanced data where legitimate/fake tasks ratio is lower in the new dataset. After pre-clustered legitimate tasks are separated from the original dataset, the remaining dataset is used to train a Deep Neural Network (DeepNN) to reach the ultimate performance goal. Pre-clustered legitimate tasks are appended to the positive prediction outputs of DeepNN to boost the performance of the proposed technique, which we refer to as pre-clustered DeepNN (PrecDeepNN). The results prove that the initial average accuracy to discriminate the legitimate and fake tasks obtained from DeepNN with the selected set of features can be improved up to an average accuracy of 0.9812 obtained from the proposed machine learning technique.

description: The traditional urban planning issues, related to the design and city shape, today are faced with those derived from safety and risk. The Emergency Plan (EP) is the result of study about risk for each context, and it allows to identify potential emergency scenarios. The paper illustrates model of analysis of Intermunicipal Emergency Plan (I-EP) through Limit Condition for the Intermunicipal Emergency I-LCE), with the purpose of large-scale assessment and mitigation of the seismic risk. This is an approach that extends the methodological principles of Limit Condition for the Emergency (LCE) to the territory, we consider that the EP, in the same way as urban planning, is not a planning activity that can be concentrated only on urban area but must work on the "territory system", especially for the effect control of natural phenomena such as seismic risk. This not only threatens a significant innovation for the LCE but also for its relationship whit the urban planning its design strategies aimed at reducing territorial fragilities. The proposed methodology is applied in the area of Sele, in the district of Salerno (Southern Italy), territory characterized by high levels of seismic and hydrogeological vulnerability. Through this case study we had the opportunity to discuss the potential of I-LCE and its additional recommended updates to increase its effectiveness and efficiency, in addition the necessary innovations of urban and territorial planning systems.

description: Three-dimensional spacetime with a negative cosmological constant has proven to be a remarkably fertile ground for the study of gravity and higher spin fields. The theory is topological and, since there are no propagating field degrees of freedom, the asymptotic symmetries become all the more crucial. For pure (2+1) gravity they consist of two copies of the Virasoro algebra. There exists a black hole which may be endowed with all the corresponding charges. The pure (2+1) gravity theory may be reformulated in terms of two Chern-Simons connections for sl(2,R). An immediate generalization containing gravity and a finite number of higher spin fields may be achieved by replacing sl(2,R) by sl(3,R) or, more generally, by sl(N,R). The asymptotic symmetries are then two copies of the so-called W_N algebra, which contains the Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra. The question then arises as to whether there exists a generalization of the standard pure gravity (2+1) black hole which would be endowed with all the W_N charges. The original pioneering proposal of a black hole along this line for N=3 turns out, as shown in this paper, to actually belong to the so called "diagonal embedding" of sl(2,R) in sl(3,R), and it is therefore endowed with charges of lower rather than higher spins. In contradistinction, we exhibit herein the most general black hole which belongs to the "principal embedding". It is endowed with higher spin charges, and possesses two copies of W_3 as its asymptotic symmetries. The most general diagonal embedding black hole is studied in detail as well, in a way in which its lower spin charges are clearly displayed. The extension to N>3 is also discussed. A general formula for the entropy of a generalized black hole is obtained in terms of the on-shell holonomies.

description: In this paper we establish a Gaffney type inequality, in $W^{\ell,p}$-Sobolev spaces, for differential forms on sub-Riemannian contact manifolds without boundary, having bounded geometry (hence, in particular, we have in mind non-compact manifolds). Here $p\in]1,\infty[$ and $\ell=1,2$ depending on the order of the differential form we are considering. The proof relies on the structure of the Rumin's complex of differential forms in contact manifolds, on a Sobolev-Gaffney inequality proved by Baldi-Franchi in the setting of the Heisenberg groups and on some geometric properties that can be proved for sub-Riemannian contact manifolds with bounded geometry.

description: Egg colouration has been a fascination for naturalists for hundreds of years. The function of egg colouration falls into two broad, non-mutually exclusive roles: signalling and structural integrity. This thesis aims to better understand the drivers of diversity in egg colouration using a phylogenetically distinct lineage, the Australian songbirds, that represents the earliest parts of passerine radiation. This aim was addressed across songbird species by mapping the evolutionary transitions of egg colour relative to the nest type they were laid in, finding evidence of correlated evolution between egg colour and nesting strategy. Egg colour diversified significantly following the shift from dome-shaped nests to open-cupped nests ca. 40 Mya. A continent-wide ecogeographical analysis was conducted to elucidate the relationships between egg colour and the environment they were laid in and found that colour was related to ecological variables in a nest-dependent manner. Life-history traits such physiology and foraging ecology were also related to egg pigment use. Results indicated that foraging ecology and diets of dome and cup nesting species differed significantly, with the latter including energy-rich fruit and nectar and higher trophic prey. Pigments were more likely to be utilised by larger-bodied birds, suggesting that shifts in nesting strategy and expansion of diets may be linked to changes in morphology. Brain sizes were investigated in relation to nest types and foraging ecology, and while no differences were found between nest types, diet breadth and composition were strongly associated with relative brain sizes. Finally, I conducted a continent-wide ecological analysis on a family of songbirds, the babblers, which perplexingly lay pigmented eggs in dome-shaped nests.

description: Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. During the last two years a particular attention has been paid on the Smart Cities theme and on the different meanings that come with it. The last section of the journal is formed by the Review Pages. They have different aims: to inform on the problems, trends and evolutionary processes; to investigate on the paths by highlighting the advanced relationships among apparently distant disciplinary fields; to explore the interaction’s areas, experiences and potential applications; to underline interactions, disciplinary developments but also, if present, defeats and setbacks. Inside the journal the Review Pages have the task of stimulating as much as possible the circulation of ideas and the discovery of new points of view. For this reason the section is founded on a series of basic’s references, required for the identification of new and more advanced interactions. These references are the research, the planning acts, the actions and the applications, analysed and investigated both for their ability to give a systematic response to questions concerning the urban and territorial planning, and for their attention to aspects such as the environmental sustainability and the innovation in the practices. For this purpose the Review Pages are formed by five sections (Web Resources; Books; Laws; Urban Practices; News and Events), each of which examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage of interest for TeMA.

description: We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study models of entanglement and correlations between two $d=4$ CFTs in thermofield double states at finite chemical potential. Our bulk spacetimes are planar Reissner-Nordström AdS black holes. We compute both thermo-mutual information and the two-point correlators of large-dimension scalar operators, focussing on the small-temperature behavior -- an infrared limit with behavior similar to that seen at large times. The interesting feature of this model is of course that the entropy density remains finite as $T \rightarrow 0$ while the bulk geometry develops an infinite throat. This leads to a logarithmic divergence in the scale required for non-zero mutual information between equal-sized strips in the two CFTs, though the mutual information between one entire CFT and a finite-sized strip in the other can remain non-zero even at $T=0$. Furthermore, despite the infinite throat, there can be extremally charged operators for which the two-point correlations remain finite as $T \rightarrow 0$. This suggests an interestingly mixed picture in which some aspects of the entanglement remain localized on scales set by the chemical potential, while others shift to larger and larger scales. We also comment on implications for the localized-quasiparticle picture of entanglement.
