description: A few of evolving models in hypernetworks have been proposed based on uniform growth. In order to better depict the growth mechanism and competitive aspect of real hypernetworks, we propose a model in term of the non-uniform growth. Besides hyperdegrees, the other two important factors are introduced to underlie preferential attachment. One dimension is the brand effect and the other is the competitiveness. Our model can accurately describe the evolution of real hypernetworks. The paper analyzes the model and calculates the stationary average hyperdegree distribution of the hypernetwork by using Poisson process theory and a continuous technique. We also address the limit in which this model has a condensation. The theoretical analyses agree with numerical simulations. Our model is universal, in that the standard preferential attachment, the fitness model in complex networks and scale-free model in hypernetworks can all be seen as degenerate cases of the model.

description: A study of charged-current muon neutrino scattering on hydrocarbon in which the final state includes a muon and a proton and no pions is presented. Although this signature has the topology of neutrino quasielastic scattering from neutrons, the event sample contains contributions from both quasielastic and inelastic processes where pions are absorbed in the nucleus. The analysis accepts events with muon production angles up to 70$^{\circ}$ and proton kinetic energies greater than 110 MeV. The extracted cross section, when based completely on hadronic kinematics, is well-described by a simple relativistic Fermi gas nuclear model including the neutrino event generator modeling for inelastic processes and particle transportation through the nucleus. This is in contrast to the quasielastic cross section based on muon kinematics, which is best described by an extended model that incorporates multi-nucleon correlations. This measurement guides the formulation of a complete description of neutrino-nucleus interactions that encompasses the hadronic as well as the leptonic aspects of this process.

description: The Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia Incorporated (JERAA) is the peak body of Australian journalism educators and researchers from tertiary education and industry organisations. JERAA’s primary aim is to raise the standard of teaching of journalism and to foster excellence and integrity in current and future generations of journalism practitioners. JERAA also supports research, knowing that good research seeks out new information, identifies issues and resolves problems for the benefit of the news media industry specifically and society more broadly. JERAA advocates for and celebrates excellence in journalism and in journalism education. JERAA provides annual awards and grants for journalism researchers and journalism students.This submission has been written on behalf of JERAA’s executive by a co-editor of the association’s academic journal, Australian Journalism Review, Professor Matthew Ricketson, and informed by the work of Dr T.J. Thomson, a senior lecturer at RMIT University.This submission concerns a “Bill for an Act to establish an inquiry into the Murdoch media and media diversity in Australia, and for related purposes”. The bill proposes setting up a commission of inquiry into the Murdoch media that would then examine the terms of reference. All of them are issues of relevance to JERAA’s mission but in this submission we will focus on the following terms of reference:(a) Whether the existing system of media regulation in Australia is fit-for-purpose;(e) The need for a single, independent media regulator to harmonise news media standards and oversee an effective process for remedying complaints;(g) The culture, ethics and practices of media outlets operating in Australia.

description: Retrieval of rain from Passive Microwave radiometers data has been a challenge ever since the launch of the first Defense Meteorological Satellite Program in the late 70s. Enormous progress has been made since the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) in 1997 but until recently the data were processed pixel-by-pixel or taking a few neighboring pixels into account. Deep learning has obtained remarkable improvement in the computer vision field, and offers a whole new way to tackle the rain retrieval problem. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core satellite carries similarly to TRMM, a passive microwave radiometer and a radar that share part of their swath. The brightness temperatures measured in the 37 and 89 GHz channels are used like the RGB components of a regular image while rain rate from Dual Frequency radar provides the surface rain. A U-net is then trained on these data to develop a retrieval algorithm: Deep-learning RAIN (DRAIN). With only four brightness temperatures as an input and no other a priori information, DRAIN is offering similar or slightly better performances than GPROF, the GPM official algorithm, in most situations. These performances are assumed to be due to the fact that DRAIN works on an image basis instead of the classical pixel-by-pixel basis.

description: The thermoelectric properties of a three-terminal quantum Hall conductor are investigated. We identify a contribution to the thermoelectric response that relies on the chirality of the carrier motion rather than on spatial asymmetries. The Onsager matrix becomes maximally asymmetric with configurations where either the Seebeck or the Peltier coefficients are zero while the other one remains finite. Reversing the magnetic field direction exchanges these effects, which originate from the chiral nature of the quantum Hall edge states. The possibility to generate spin-polarized currents in quantum spin Hall samples is discussed.

description: This is the line of inquiry developed for the topic covered under the second part of the event "Compliance, Avoidance, and Evasion in Taxation: The Role of Professionals – The Gray Area," which was entitled "The Conundrums of Tax Professionals: Technology, Whistleblowing, and Ethical Decision-Making". The related research activity was designed to engage in a thematic examination of the ambiguous domain known as the "gray area" in taxation, a realm where taxpayers' actions oscillate between legality and illegality. In particular, the three thematic panels will focus on distinct but interconnected topics concerning the "Gray Area" of taxation. The first panel will investigate the lack of transparency in the practices of tax professionals, evaluating the influence of significant leaks like the Panama Papers and the ethical dilemmas in reporting illicit activities. The second panel will explore the evolving role of technology and digital innovation in the gray area. It will assess how future technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, will influence the roles, responsibilities, and ethical considerations of tax professionals. Finally, the third panel will delve into the notion of moral distress, examining the emotional and psychological conflicts individuals will face when their ethical or moral beliefs are challenged, especially within a professional context. The research encompasses a cohesive and interconnected set of research questions, serving as the groundwork for subsequent investigations. These investigations will involve various components, including a systematic review of existing literature and the research outcomes generated during the VIRTEU project research activities. The aim of this study is to contribute to the cumulative understanding of the current state of knowledge concerning the above-mentioned research topic. The video recordings of all the sessions are published online and accessible on the Corporate Crime Observatory.

description: Even though a method to perfectly sign quantum messages has not been known, the arbitrated quantum signature scheme has been considered as one of good candidates. However, its forgery problem has been an obstacle to the scheme being a successful method. In this paper, we consider one situation, which is slightly different from the forgery problem, that we check whether at least one quantum message with signature can be forged in a given scheme, although all the messages cannot be forged. If there exist only a finite number of forgeable quantum messages in the scheme then the scheme can be secure against the forgery attack by not sending the forgeable quantum messages, and so our situation does not directly imply that we check whether the scheme is secure against the attack. But, if users run a given scheme without any consideration of forgeable quantum messages then a sender might transmit such forgeable messages to a receiver, and an attacker can forge the messages if the attacker knows them in such a case. Thus it is important and necessary to look into forgeable quantum messages. We here show that there always exists such a forgeable quantum message-signature pair for every known scheme with quantum encryption and rotation, and numerically show that any forgeable quantum message-signature pairs do not exist in an arbitrated quantum signature scheme.

description: A $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard code of length $α+2β=2^t$ is a binary Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a $Z_2Z_4$-additive code with $α$ binary coordinates and $β$ quaternary coordinates. It is known that there are exactly $[(t-1)/2]$ and $[t/2]$ nonequivalent $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard codes of length $2^t$, with $α=0$ and $α\not=0$, respectively, for all $t\geq 3$. In this paper, it is shown that each $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard code with $α=0$ is equivalent to a $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard code with $α\not=0$; so there are only $[t/2]$ nonequivalent $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard codes of length $2^t$. Moreover, the order of the monomial automorphism group for the $Z_2Z_4$-additive Hadamard codes and the permutation automorphism group of the corresponding $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard codes are given.

description: High-temperature superconductor (HTS) flux pumps can be proper alternatives to energize HTS magnets or rotor windings in electrical motors and generators. They perform in a contact-less way avoiding brushes, as well as inefficient current leads and their cryogenic problems. In this work, the performance of dynamo-type HTS flux pump is investigated in detail via numerical modeling based on MEMEP [1], paying special attention to the voltage signal. We assume an E-J power law relation and magnetic field-dependent critical current density Jc(B). We study the cases of open circuit, close circuit and connection to a coil with large inductance. We also build a demonstrator to experimentally benchmark the modeling showing good agreement. We found that Jc does not play a major role in the open-circuit voltage but Jc(B) is key for the pump performance. In conclusion, MEMEP is suitable to model flux pumps, enabling optimization and proof-of-concept tests.

description: In single-component theories of dark matter, the $2\to 2$ amplitudes for dark-matter production, annihilation, and scattering can be related to each other through various crossing symmetries. These crossing relations lie at the heart of the celebrated complementarity which underpins different existing dark-matter search techniques and strategies. In multi-component theories of dark matter, by contrast, there can be many different dark-matter components with differing masses. This then opens up a new, "diagonal" direction for dark-matter complementarity: the possibility of dark-matter decay from heavier to lighter dark-matter components. In this work, we discuss how this new direction may be correlated with the others, and demonstrate that the enhanced complementarity which emerges can be an important ingredient in probing and constraining the parameter spaces of such models.

description: Wenn man sich die Frage stellt, warum in es einer globalisierten Welt noch immer Gräben von Unverständnis dem Anderen gegenüber geben kann, obwohl dies dem grundlegenden ethischen sowie rationalem Nutzen der Menschheit diametral gegenübersteht, bedarf es eines Blickes auf die Grundlagen des Diskurses. Dieser Diskurs wurde bereits vom ersten Erscheinen des Islams an gelebt und erstreckt sich unter Einflussnahme des kulturellen Kontextes, sowie politischer Interessen bis in die Gegenwart statt. Im Diskurs werden Gemeinsamkeiten, welche sich aus der griechischen Philosophie,- und Bildungstradition ableiten lassen, oft vernachlässigt, dafür aber Gegensätzlichkeit hervorgehoben. Diese Arbeit widmet sich der modernen Diskursethik und beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie interreligiöse Gespräche und Dialog-Kompetenzen sowie Kritikfähigkeit von SuS. gefördert werden können.
description: If one asks the question why in a globalized world there can be trenches of incomprehension towards the other, although this is diametrically opposed to the fundamental ethical and rational benefit of humanity, one needs to look at the foundations of this discourse. This extends from the appearance of Islam and under the Influence of the cultural context and political interests. The commonalities, which can be derived from the Greek philosophy and educational tradition, are often neglected, but contrasts are emphasized. This work is to address the raised demand for interreligious and dialogue skills of the students, which are to be considered from the perspective of modern discourse ethics and the ability to criticize.

description: Il glaucoma � una patologia neurodegenerativa sostenuta dalla morte per apoptosi delle CGR. Rappresenta la principale causa di cecit� irreversibile al mondo. Non sono ancora stati compresi a fondo tutti i meccanismi che causano la degenerazione neuronale nel glaucoma (tanto che sussistono delle forme di glaucoma a PIO normale). Un ruolo importante nel meccanismo patogenetico glaucomatoso viene riconosciuto oggi ad una condizione di infiammazione cronica a livello retinico determinata da alterazioni dei livelli di PIO. Lo scopo del presente progetto di dottorato � stato un approccio multidisciplinare al glaucoma, di tipo clinico e biochimico-molecolare. In primo luogo, � stato implementato un prototipo di perimetro (Compass, Centervue, Padova, Italia), attuando dapprima un database normativo di soggetti sani al fine di integrare le caratteristiche demografiche per il test perimetrico 30-2. Successivamente, � stata valutata l?affidabilit� test-retest dell?apparecchio, eseguendo il campo visivo ?New Grid? per sei volte consecutive in un gruppo di pazienti clusterizzati secondo l?MD, ottenendo una bassa variabilit� intra-test. � stato altres� calcolato l?agreement tra tre diversi revisori, i quali hanno esaminato indipendentemente le perimetrie e le foto fundus Compass, stabilendo un peggioramento o meno della patologia glaucomatosa, nonch� la concordanza tra l?analisi da remoto dei campi visivi e immagini Compass, e la visita clinica standard dei pazienti affetti da glaucoma. I risultati hanno messo in evidenza un?ottima concordanza tra i Reviewers e tra gli esami da remoto e la visita clinica. Ai fini di stabilire la precisione punto per punto del perimetro, � stata eseguita un?analisi del Compass 10-2 in pazienti affetti da atrofia geografica, trovando una corrispondenza punto per punto della perimetria con l?immagine retinica sottostante. In ultimo, � stata effettuata un?analisi dell?osmolarit� lacrimale e di tutti i parametri clinici del film lacrimale in pazienti affetti da glaucoma asimmetrico. Per quanto riguarda l?indagine biochimico-molecolare, � stata effettuata una analisi preliminare nell?umore acqueo della proteina di gap-junction Connessina 43 in un piccolo gruppo di soggetti sani e glaucomatosi, che ha posto in evidenza un aumento quasi doppio della dell?espressione della molecola nei soggetti glaucomatosi, anche se la ridotta numerosit� del campione non ha prodotto un risultato statisticamente significativo. � stato inoltre utilizzato in questo progetto di dottorato un metodo innovativo di analisi: la metabolomica, ramo scientifico che si occupa di analizzare i metaboliti <1,5 kDa che derivano da specifici processi chimici cellulari in campioni biologici umani. Utilizzando la Spettroscopia di Risonanza Magnetica Nucleare 1H, sono stati analizzati campioni di vitreo di pazienti sottoposti a vitrectomia, identificando un aumento di acetone e metanolo negli occhi glaucomatosi.

description: Machine Learning (ML)-powered apps are used in pervasive devices such as phones, tablets, smartwatches and IoT devices. Recent advances in collaborative, distributed ML such as Federated Learning (FL) attempt to solve privacy concerns of users and data owners, and thus used by tech industry leaders such as Google, Facebook and Apple. However, FL systems and models are still vulnerable to adversarial membership and attribute inferences and model poisoning attacks, especially in FL-as-a-Service ecosystems recently proposed, which can enable attackers to access multiple ML-powered apps. In this work, we focus on the recently proposed Sponge attack: It is designed to soak up energy consumed while executing inference (not training) of ML model, without hampering the classifier's performance. Recent work has shown sponge attacks on ASCI-enabled GPUs can potentially escalate the power consumption and inference time. For the first time, in this work, we investigate this attack in the mobile setting and measure the effect it can have on ML models running inside apps on mobile devices.

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Information on the potential effects of fusariotoxins on reproductive system in ruminants are few. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate if DON and ZEA major hydroxylated metabolites, ?-zearalenol (?-Zol) and ?-zearalenone (?-Zol), alone or in combination, can impair bovine reproductive activity via affecting cell proliferation, estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) production and gene expression (CYP11A1 and CYP19A1 mRNA abundance) of primary granulosa cells (GC). GC were obtained aspirating aseptically small (1 to 5 mm) (SMGC) and large (8-22 mm) (LGGC) ovarian follicles. GC were cultured for 2 days in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum followed by 1 or 2 days in serum free medium without (control) or with added treatments. At the end of the experiments, numbers of GC were determined using a Coulter counter, the concentration of steroid hormones was evaluated via radioimmunoassay and RNA analysis was performed. In SMGC cell proliferation was negatively affected after exposure to ?-Zol at 31 �M and after exposure to ?-Zol (3.1 �M) alone and combined with DON (3.3 �M). Steroidogenesis was differently affected by tested mycotoxins: DON and ?-Zol had inhibitory effects while ?-Zol at high concentration (31 �M) stimulated steroid production. DON (3.3 �M) and ?-Zol (31 �M) increased GC CYP19A1 mRNA abundance. CYP11A1 mRNA abundance was stimulated by DON, alone and combined with ?-Zol and ?-Zol, whereas was inhibited by ?-Zol alone. In LGGC, ?-Zol alone and in combination with DON, increased cell proliferation whereas DON strongly inhibited P4 and E2 production mainly at high doses (3.3 �M). In conclusion these results demonstrated that DON and ZEA metabolites may affect in vitro bovine GC function and also provides information on the interaction between DON and ZEA metabolites.
IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS IN THE OPPORTUNISTIC PATHOGEN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly adaptable bacterium that thrives in a broad range of ecological niches. In addition, it can infect hosts as diverse as plants, nematodes, and mammals. In humans, it is an important opportunistic pathogen in compromised individuals, such as patients with cystic fibrosis, severe burns, or impaired immunity. P. aeruginosa is difficult to control because of its ability to develop resistance, often multiple, to all current classes of clinical antibiotics. The discovery of novel essential genes or pathways that have not yet been targeted by clinical antibiotics can underlie the development of alternative effective antibacterials to overcome existing mechanisms of resistance. The main focus of my PhD thesis was the discovery of novel essential genes of P. aeruginosa by shotgun antisense screening. Our antisense screenings identified 33 growth-impairing single-locus genomic inserts that allowed us to generate a list of 27 ?essential-for-growth? genes: among them 15 were ?novel? essential genes with no homologs reported to have an essential role in other bacterial species. Interestingly, the essential genes in our panel were suggested to take part in a broader range of cellular functions than those currently targeted by extant antibiotics. Our study also identified 43 growth-impairing inserts carrying multiple loci targeting 105 genes. Taken together, our results show the feasibility of antisense technology in P. aeruginosa for identifying novel essential genes and we expect that our methodology could be well suited for antisense-mediated searches of essential genes in other Gram-negative bacterial species. These results were presented in publication 1 (PART II). Then, we focused on two loci, PA2873 and P0580, found in our antisense screenings in PAO1. The PA2873 gene product was annotated as a hypothetical membrane protein endowed with a periplasmic region harboring a structural domain belonging to the transglutaminase-like superfamily, a group of archaeal, bacterial, and eukaryotic proteins homologous to animal transglutaminases. We show that the periplasmic portion of the PA2873 protein, which we named TgpA, does possess transglutaminase activity in vitro. This is the first report of transglutaminase activity in P. aeruginosa. In addition, we have provided strong evidence that TgpA plays a critical role in the viability of P. aeruginosa. The results on TgpA were presented in publication 2 (PART II). The PA0580 locus encodes the protein Gcp belonging to the Kae1/Qri7/YgjD family. Combining several genetic approaches, we showed that Gcp is essential for P. aeruginosa. In addition, we focused on the product of PA3685 locus, the YeaZ protein, a putative partner of Gcp. We obtained evidence that YeaZ also plays a critical role in P. aeruginosa viability. A manuscript describing the results on Gcp is in preparation and presented in PART III.
ESSAYS ON THE GLOBAL OIL MARKET

Year: 2018

description: In this paper we develop a Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model of the global market for crude oil where the forward-looking expectations of oil traders are inferred from the financial markets. Thus, we replace the global proxy for above-ground crude oil inventories with the oil futures-spot spread. The latter is defined as the percent deviation of the oil futures price from the spot price of oil and it represents a measure of the convenience yield but expressed with an opposite sign. The following model provides an economic interpretation of the residual structural shock, namely the financial market shock. This is designed to capture an unanticipated change in the benet of holding crude oil inventories that is driven by financial incentives. We find evidence that financial market shocks have played an important role in explaining the surge of the real price of oil during the period 2003-2008. We also highlight the main interesting features of five structural oil market VAR models and their implied identification structures. In addition we propose a simple qualitative method to rank different oil market VAR models. The comparative analysis offers evidence that the oil futures-spot spread represents a proper measure to capture the forward-looking expectations of oil traders.

description: We consider quantum correlations and quantum discord phenomena for two-qubit states with $X$-type density matrices in the tomographic framework of quantum mechanics. By introducing different measurements schemes, we establish the relation between tomographic approach to quantum discord, symmetric discord, and measurement-induced disturbance. In our consideration, $X$-states appear as approximations of ground and low temperature thermal states of two coupled harmonic oscillators realized by nanoelectric $LC$-circuits. Possibilities for control the amounts of correlations and entropic asymmetry due to variation of the frequency detuning and the coupling constant are also considered.

 As for the different intertextual relations of the institutional open science policies, it is evident that some references are repeated as key antecedents, and others are highly particular to each case. For example, the Brazilian institution's declaration on open science relates to the international organizations point of reference, while the other institutional policies do not mention this. This suggests a case of policy transfer up to a certain degree.
 It is possible to observe that in the French case, the interest in open science is a strategic goal for the government through a top-down policy approach with laws, roadmaps, and the national plan for open science to which the different institutional open science policies are aligned.
 No other open science-related documents were found for the universities in Brasil and Peru. However, it is evident there is an interest in the subject since there are activities about this issue carried out in the different research centers. Furthermore, in both cases, there are notably already several policies related to open data and open access. Rezende & Abadal (2020), Oliveira, Ribeiro & de Oliveira Santos (2021), Babini & Rovelli (2020) have done extensive work on the regulatory frameworks, open access, and open data policies analysis in the Brazilian case, while Babini & Rovelli (2020) examine policies related to open access and open research data in the Peruvian case. The absence of policies in the South American cases may indicate that even though the subject of open science is extensively discussed, it is still not materialized in action.
 Finally, further research would be needed to discover the nuances in the open science policies in the different institutions, countries and regions and their evolution over time.

description: In modern high-throughput data analysis, researchers perform a large number of statistical tests, expecting to find perhaps a small fraction of significant effects against a predominantly null background. Higher Criticism (HC) was introduced to determine whether there are any nonzero effects; more recently, it was applied to feature selection, where it provides a method for selecting useful predictive features from a large body of potentially useful features, among which only a rare few will prove truly useful. In this article, we review the basics of HC in both the testing and feature selection settings. HC is a flexible idea, which adapts easily to new situations; we point out simple adaptions to clique detection and bivariate outlier detection. HC, although still early in its development, is seeing increasing interest from practitioners; we illustrate this with worked examples. HC is computationally effective, which gives it a nice leverage in the increasingly more relevant "Big Data" settings we see today. We also review the underlying theoretical "ideology" behind HC. The Rare/Weak (RW) model is a theoretical framework simultaneously controlling the size and prevalence of useful/significant items among the useless/null bulk. The RW model shows that HC has important advantages over better known procedures such as False Discovery Rate (FDR) control and Family-wise Error control (FwER), in particular, certain optimality properties. We discuss the rare/weak phase diagram, a way to visualize clearly the class of RW settings where the true signals are so rare or so weak that detection and feature selection are simply impossible, and a way to understand the known optimality properties of HC.

description: When analysing human genomic and transcriptomic sequencing data in a hospital-based research environment, many restrictions regarding the process are in place to ensure that the patient's personal information is kept private. For our group this means that the analyses are executed on a high performance computing cluster dedicated to work with sensitive data. Developers have no access to internet from within and they have only limited possibilities to install standard bioinformatics tools. Taking also into account that similar datasets are generated in other research groups, we see added value in reusability of the pipelines when they can be easily deployed in different projects. These two factors led us to explore possibilities to develop and deploy containerised pipelines (with minimal requirements on installing additional software) for analysing next generation sequencing data.

 Here we present a suite of publicly available pipelines to analyse RNAseq and ATACseq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) data. We have used the code to analyse paired data from two different depots of human adipose tissue. The functionality is separated into three independent pipelines using singularity for containerisation and snakemake to orchestrate the pipelines' respective workflows. The first pipeline processes raw RNAseq reads to read counts for expressed genes and the second one processes raw ATACseq reads to read counts for accessible chromatin regions. The third pipeline takes the read counts for both feature types, performs differential analyses and combines them to identify co-occurrence of upregulated genes and open chromatin regions in the near proximity of the genes.
Preventing Star Formation in Early-Type Galaxies with Late-Time Stellar Heating

description: We revisit previous suggestions that the heating provided by the winds of dying low-mass stars plays an important role in preventing star formation in quiescent galaxies. At the end of their asymptotic giant branch phase, intermediate and low-mass stars eject their envelopes rapidly in a super-wind phase, usually giving rise to planetary nebulae. In spheroidal galaxies with high stellar velocity dispersions, the interaction of these ejected envelopes with the ambient diffuse gas can lead to significant, isotropic and steady-state heating that scales as $\dot{M}_\astσ_\ast^2$. We show that cooling of the central regions of the hot diffuse halo gas can be delayed for a Hubble time for halos more massive than $\sim10^{12.5}M_{\odot}$ at $0

description: Morphology of polymer electrolytes membranes (PEM), e.g., Nafion, inside PEM fuel cell catalyst layers has significant impact on the electrochemical activity and transport phenomena that determine cell performance. In those regions, Nafion can be found as an ultra-thin film, coating the catalyst and the catalyst support surfaces. The impact of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of these surfaces on the structural formation of the films has not been sufficiently explored yet. Here, we report about Molecular Dynamics simulation investigation of the substrate effects on the ionomer ultra-thin film morphology at different hydration levels. We use a mean-field-like model we introduced in previous publications for the interaction of the hydrated Nafion ionomer with a substrate, characterized by a tunable degree of hydrophilicity. We show that the affinity of the substrate with water plays a crucial role in the molecular rearrangement of the ionomer film, resulting in completely different morphologies. Detailed structural description in different regions of the film shows evidences of strongly heterogeneous behavior. A qualitative discussion of the implications of our observations on the PEMFC catalyst layer performance is finally proposed.

description: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved promising results in various tasks such as node classification and graph classification. Recent studies find that GNNs are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. However, effective backdoor attacks on graphs are still an open problem. In particular, backdoor attack poisons the graph by attaching triggers and the target class label to a set of nodes in the training graph. The backdoored GNNs trained on the poisoned graph will then be misled to predict test nodes to target class once attached with triggers. Though there are some initial efforts in graph backdoor attacks, our empirical analysis shows that they may require a large attack budget for effective backdoor attacks and the injected triggers can be easily detected and pruned. Therefore, in this paper, we study a novel problem of unnoticeable graph backdoor attacks with limited attack budget. To fully utilize the attack budget, we propose to deliberately select the nodes to inject triggers and target class labels in the poisoning phase. An adaptive trigger generator is deployed to obtain effective triggers that are difficult to be noticed. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets against various defense strategies demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method in conducting effective unnoticeable backdoor attacks.

description: Glauber models are used to calculate geometric quantities in the initial state of heavy ion collisions, such as impact parameter, number of participating nucleons and initial eccentricity. Experimental heavy-ion collaboration, in particular at RHIC and LHC, use Glauber Model calculations for various geometric observables. In this document, we describe the assumptions inherent to the approach, and provide an updated implementation (v2) of the Monte Carlo based Glauber Model calculation, which originally was used by the PHOBOS collaboration. The main improvement w.r.t. the earlier version (arXiv:0805.4411) are the inclusion of Tritium, Helium-3, and Uranium, as well as the treatment of deformed nuclei and Glauber-Gribov fluctuations of the proton in p+A collisions. A users' guide (updated to reflect changes in v2) is provided for running various calculations.

description: We present a momentum-resolved study of strong field multiple ionization of ionic targets. Using a deconvolution method we are able to reconstruct the electron momenta from the ion momentum distributions after multiple ionization up to four sequential ionization steps. This technique allows an accurate determination of the saturation intensity as well as of the electron release times during the laser pulse. The measured results are discussed in comparison to typically used models of over-the-barrier ionization and tunnel ionization.

description: The black hole information paradox arises from an apparent conflict between the Hawking black hole radiation and the fact that time evolution in quantum mechanics is unitary. The trouble is that while the former suggests that information of a system falling into a black hole disappears, the latter implies that information must be conserved. In this work we discuss the current divergence in views regarding the paradox, we evaluate the role that objective collapse theories could play in its resolution and we propose a link between spontaneous collapse events and microscopic virtual black holes.
