description: The stability of excited superheavy nuclei (SHN) with $100 \leq Z \leq 134$ against neutron emission and fission is investigated by using a statistical model. In particular, a systematic study of the survival probability against fission in the 1n-channel of these SHN is made. In present calculations the neutron separation energies and shell correction energies are consistently taken from the calculated results of the finite range droplet model which predicts an island of stability of SHN around Z=115 and N=179. It turns out that this island of stability persists for excited SHN in the sense that the calculated survival probabilities in the 1n-channel of excited SHN at the optimal excitation energy are maximized around Z=115 and N=179. This indicates that the survival probability in the 1n-channel is mainly determined by the nuclear shell effects.

description: When the Standard Model is considered as an effective low-energy theory, higher dimensional interaction terms appear in the Lagrangian. Dimension-six terms have been enumerated in the classical article by Buchmueller and Wyler [3]. Although redundance of some of those operators has been already noted in the literature, no updated complete list has been published to date. Here we perform their classification once again from the outset. Assuming baryon number conservation, we find 15 + 19 + 25 = 59 independent operators (barring flavour structure and Hermitian conjugations), as compared to 16 + 35 + 29 = 80 in Ref.[3]. The three summed numbers refer to operators containing 0, 2 and 4 fermion fields. If the assumption of baryon number conservation is relaxed, 4 new operators arise in the four-fermion sector.

description: The thesis is devoted to testing storage systems. This work reviews existing storage testing tools and their comparative analysis, based on which the advantages and disadvantages of one of the load testing tools called Mongoose are identified. In the thesis are developed and described the requirements for Mongoose REST interface, considering the specification of the tool, as well as implemented mechanisms for supporting the designed API implemented and introduced into the source code of the software product. Developed software was tested on various Mongoose scenarios, and based on these tests, the functionality of the tool before and after the implementation of the REST API was compared.

description: The hadronic decays eta' -> eta pi pi are studied in the frameworks of large-Nc Chiral Perturbation Theory, at lowest and next-to-leading orders, and Resonance Chiral Theory in the leading 1/Nc approximation. Higher order effects such as pi-pi final state interactions are taken into account through a detailed unitarization procedure. The inclusion of finite-width effects in the case of RChT is also discussed. The Dalitz plot distribution and the differential branching ratio are computed in both approaches. The predicted Dalitz plot parameters obtained from the different treatments are compared with the most recent measured values. We find that the eta' -> eta pi pi branching ratios are easily understood, while the Dalitz plot parameters require the inclusion of pi-pi loops in order to achieve a reasonable agreement. Our final predictions agree with the experimental measurements. We hope our results to be of relevance for present and future experimental analyses of these decays.

description: It has recently been pointed out that, under certain conditions, the energy of particles accelerated by black holes in the center-of-mass frame can become arbitrarily high. In this paper, we study the collision of two particles in the case of four-dimensional charged nonrotating, extremal charged rotating and near-extremal charged rotating Kaluza-Klein black holes as well as the naked singularity case in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. We find that the center-of-mass energy for a pair of colliding particles is unlimited at the horizon of charged nonrotating Kaluza-Klein black holes, extremal charged rotating Kaluza-Klein black holes and in the naked singularity case.

Year: 2014

description: Il progetto CARAP nasce dalla necessità di raccogliere e definire dei descrittori necessari allo sviluppo della competenza plurilingue e interculturale, competenza che sarà parte integrante del nuovo Piano di Studio per la scuola dell’obbligo ticinese. Il primo prodotto del CARAP è il Quadro di Riferimento Competenze e Risorse, il Referenziale nel quale vengono presentate in modo sistematico sia le competenze sia le risorse che possono essere sviluppate attraverso gli approcci plurali. In questa ricerca mi sono chiesta se i materiali proposti dal CARAP fossero efficaci in classi di Francese. Ho quindi proposto un questionario iniziale a tre classi di Francese (II, III e IV) e dall’analisi delle risposte ho selezionato delle attività proposte sul sito CARAP. Attività Eveil aux langues e dell’approccio interculturale, approcci che lavorano anche sulle rappresentazioni non solo linguistiche ma anche culturali dell’Altro. Con l’analisi delle risposte ricevute nel questionario finale ho potuto rilevare che non ci sono stati importanti cambiamenti nella percezione e considerazione di altre lingue e culture nelle classi. Si apre adesso una nuova domanda, ovvero come prepararsi all’introduzione di attività degli approcci plurali in prospettiva dello sviluppo di competenze interculturali proposte nei nuovi Piani di Studio della scuola dell’obbligo ticinese.

description: A well known result on pseudodifferential operators states that the noncommutative residue (Wodzicki residue) of a pseudodifferential projection vanishes. This statement is non-local and implies the regularity of the eta invariant at zero of Dirac type operators. We prove that in a filtered algebra the value of a projection under any residual trace depends only on the principal part of the projection. This general, purely algebraic statement applied to the algebra of projective pseudodifferential operators implies that the noncommutative residue factors to a map from the twisted K-theory of the co-sphere bundle. We use arguments from twisted K-theory to show that this map vanishes, thus showing that the noncommutative residue of a projective pseudodifferential projection vanishes. This also gives a very short proof in the classical setting.

A limited, legacy literacy : reconfiguring Literary Sinitic as Hanmunkwa in Korea, 1876–1910
Creators: name: Wells, William Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This study shows that the changes to Korean literary and inscriptional practices in the three decades prior to Japanese colonization in 1910 were not the inevitable outcome of natural vernacularization processes. Rather, they were the result of deliberate education activities and policy decisions by interested parties, including the Korean court, Western missionaries, Korean traditionalist and nationalist scholars, and Japanese imperial officials. Literary Sinitic literacy long sustained the ritual, cultural, and political modes of belonging that positioned Korea firmly within the Sinographic Cosmopolis. The promotion of vernacular literacy and the marginalization of Literary Sinitic that accompanied the social and political upheavals of the final decades of the Chosŏn dynasty (1392–1910), were a key element in Korea’s departure from this traditional cosmopolitan order. Modern schools founded by the various interested parties above were a primary facilitator of inscriptional change. Though parents insisted that these schools include Literary Sinitic instruction, this instruction was limited to a single subject within a multi-subject curriculum. The aims, content, and methods of instruction within this new classroom subject, known as Hanmunkwa, departed significantly from those of traditional Literary Sinitic instruction. Nevertheless, Korean educators developed approaches to Hanmunkwa that still treated Literary Sinitic as the vehicle of a living, dynamic tradition. These approaches were greatly narrowed, however, through a program of textbook censorship implemented by Japanese education officials in the final years of the protectorate period (1905–1910). Shaped to meet political more than pedagogical ends, the content and methods of the Hanmunkwa instruction that resulted from this censorship reduced instruction to mere training in no more than a passive reading comprehension of excerpts from classical texts. Japanese-controlled Hanmunkwa greatly limited the scope and application of Literary Sinitic literacy and was the beginning of the end of a living Literary Sinitic tradition in Korea, transforming it into a legacy literacy useful only in limited domains and providing nothing more than a level of backward compatibility with old knowledge. This study, therefore, offers a corrective to the common historiography of Korean language and literature that treats vernacularity as natural and Korean vernacularization as foreordained.
An efficient method for computing genus expansions and counting numbers in the Hermitian matrix model

description: We present a method to compute the genus expansion of the free energy of Hermitian matrix models from the large N expansion of the recurrence coefficients of the associated family of orthogonal polynomials. The method is based on the Bleher-Its deformation of the model, on its associated integral representation of the free energy, and on a method for solving the string equation which uses the resolvent of the Lax operator of the underlying Toda hierarchy. As a byproduct we obtain an efficient algorithm to compute generating functions for the enumeration of labeled k-maps which does not require the explicit expressions of the coefficients of the topological expansion. Finally we discuss the regularization of singular one-cut models within this approach.

Anomalous world experience in prodromal schizophrenia: a case study
Creators: name: Stern, Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The discipline of phenomenological psychopathology addresses not just the symptoms which serve to diagnose psychiatric disorders, but also the alterations in the immediate experience of self and world associated to them. Studies have shown that schizophrenia, in particular, profoundly impacts subjective experience, and especially the core or basic sense of self. Using instruments such as the Examination of Anomalous Self Experience (EASE), disturbances of the basic sense of self have been found to be characteristic of both schizophrenia and its prodrome. Basic self-disturbance is considered to be accompanied, as well, by alterations in the experience of the lived world. A recently developed instrument, the Examination of Anomalous World Experience (EAWE), is designed to detect this kind of alteration (like the EASE, this is a semi-structured, phenomenologically-oriented interview). Initial studies using the EAWE have found anomalous experiences of the world to be present, to a significant degree, in schizophrenia-spectrum subjects. There have yet been no EAWE studies, however, on prodromal schizophrenia. For the present study, a participant considered to be at ultra-high risk for developing schizophrenia was interviewed using both the EAWE, and a structured self-report questionnaire that assesses self-disturbance, the Inventory of Psychotic-Like Anomalous Self-Experiences (IPASE). The EAWE and the IPASE yielded total scores, which were compared to those of previous studies. The EAWE interview was also analyzed using the descriptive phenomenological method for qualitative data analysis. This analysis identified general themes or structures of experience, which were in turn compared to themes identified by previous studies. In both degree and quality, the participant’s anomalous experiences were found to be comparable to those previously associated to the schizophrenia spectrum. The participant’s experience, however, also displayed features which, in certain respects, seemed to differentiate it from structures of experience considered characteristic of schizophrenia. This study showed that, through the analysis of anomalous world experiences, the EAWE can help identify both important parallels between schizophrenia and its prodrome, and also some of their possible differences. Further studies on anomalous world experience, therefore, could potentially lead to a more nuanced understanding of both the prodromal stages of schizophrenia, and the disorder itself.
The influence of geogenic and anthropogenic factors on indoor radon exposure in the Ervedosa ore district (Vinhais - Northeastern Portugal)
Creators: name: Gomes, Maria E. P.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Ervedosa ore district lies in the Galiza and Trás-os-Montes Zone. The schist S1 is dominated by low-grade metamorphism, and schist S2 occurs along or close to the uranium mineralized area with secondary minerals along the schistosity plane. These metamorphic rocks are intruded by a syn-tectonic Variscan granite pluton with an elongated form, constrained by the NW-SE Rebordelo (RE) ductile shear zone. Geochemical and radiological data obtained in the three localities of the Ervedosa village suggest that the radon concentrations in dwellings are mainly related to the uranium content of rocks and their mobilization through weathering processes, but human habits also have a role on it. The Ervedosa Mine (EM) granite, presents the highest average of uranium concentration (14 ppm). The results of the gamma dose rate are related to the uranium contents of the rocks and weathering processes. Thus, radon risk exposure is moderate to high in dwellings located in EM granite and schist S2, and low for RE granite and schist S1. Overall, radon concentrations determined in 46 dwellings during winter conditions shown a geometric mean of 257.1 Bq·m-3. Therefore 32% of measurements exceeded the 300 Bq.m-3 reference limit, by the DL n.o108/2018. The present study alert for human health risks from indoor radon exposure and also recommend preventive and corrective measures in this region. Awareness campaigns for public should also be improved to ensure natural ventilation in dwellings during the winter period and reduce the indoor radon exposure.
N=(0,2) Supersymmetry and a Nonrenormalization Theorem

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this paper we continue the study of perturbative renormalizations in an $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetric model. Previously we analyzed one-loop graphs in the heterotically deformed CP$(N-1)$ models. Now we extend the analysis of the $β$ function and appropriate $Z$ factors to two, and, in some instances, all loops in the limiting case $g^2\to 0$. The field contents of the model, as well as the heterotic coupling, remain the same, but the target space becomes flat. In this toy $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ model we construct supergraph formalism. We show, by explicit calculations up to two-loop order, that the $β$ function is one-loop-exact. We derive a nonrenormalization theorem valid to all orders. This nonrenormalization theorem is rather unusual since it refers to (formally) $D$ terms. It is based on the fact that supersymmetry combined with target space symmetries and "flavor"? symmetries is sufficient to guarantee the absence of loop corrections. We analyze the supercurrent supermultiplet (i.e., the hypercurrent) providing further evidence in favor of the absence of higher loops in the $β$ function.

We prove the following direct product theorem (DPT) for query complexity: if every T-query algorithm has success probability at most 1 - eps in computing the Boolean function f on input distribution Mu, then for alpha <= 1, every (alpha eps Tk)-query algorithm has success probability at most (2^{alpha eps}(1 - eps))^k in computing the k-fold direct product f^k correctly on k independent inputs from Mu. In light of examples due to Shaltiel, this statement gives an essentially optimal tradeoff between the query bound and the error probability. As a corollary, we show that for an absolute constant alpha > 0, the worst-case success probability of any (alpha R_2(f)k)-query randomized algorithm for f^k falls exponentially with k. The best previous statement of this type, due to Klauck, Spalek, and de Wolf, required a query bound of O(bs(f)k). The proof involves defining and analyzing a collection of martingales associated with an algorithm attempting to solve f^k. Our method is quite general and yields a new XOR lemma and threshold DPT for the query model, as well as DPTs for the query complexity of learning tasks, search problems, and tasks involving interaction with dyamic entities. We also give a version of our DPT in which decision tree size is the resource of interest.

description: Online Social Networks (OSN) during last years acquired a huge and increasing popularity as one of the most important emerging Web phenomena, deeply modifying the behavior of users and contributing to build a solid substrate of connections and relationships among people using the Web. In this preliminary work paper, our purpose is to analyze Facebook, considering a significant sample of data reflecting relationships among subscribed users. Our goal is to extract, from this platform, relevant information about the distribution of these relations and exploit tools and algorithms provided by the Social Network Analysis (SNA) to discover and, possibly, understand underlying similarities between the developing of OSN and real-life social networks.

description: We study the general phenomenology of neutrinoless double beta decay in seesaw models. In particular, we focus on the dependence of the neutrinoless double beta decay rate on the mass of the extra states introduced to account for the Majorana masses of light neutrinos. For this purpose, we compute the nuclear matrix elements as functions of the mass of the mediating fermions and estimate the associated uncertainties. We then discuss what can be inferred on the seesaw model parameters in the different mass regimes and clarify how the contribution of the light neutrinos should always be taken into account when deriving bounds on the extra parameters. Conversely, the extra states can also have a significant impact, cancelling the Standard Model neutrino contribution for masses lighter than the nuclear scale and leading to vanishing neutrinoless double beta decay amplitudes even if neutrinos are Majorana particles. We also discuss how seesaw models could reconcile large rates of neutrinoless double beta decay with more stringent cosmological bounds on neutrino masses.

description: I diversi operatori (committenza pubblica e privata, associazioni di utenti, progettisti, costruttori, ecc.) coinvolti nei processi di progettazione e/o trasformazione dell’ambiente costruito a scala micro urbana, compiono scelte spesso ai margini della cultura dell’approccio sostenibile, il quale richiede un’elevata capacità di dialogo, supportata da adeguate conoscenze delle discipline e dei metodi che permettano di prevederne e valutarne gli effetti. La scala ideale per affrontare la valutazione della sostenibilità risulta essere quella micro urbana. Situato in posizione intermedia fra la città e il singolo edificio, il quartiere offre, da questo punto di vista, potenzialità operative interessanti, perché si presta alla sperimentazione d’interventi mirati alla sostenibilità nell’ambiente urbano, avvicinandosi alle problematiche che oltrepassano la dimensione del singolo fabbricato. Il lavoro si concentra sulla determinazione di una logica aggregativa per una griglia di valutazione della sostenibilità a scala di quartiere e sulla definizione di un metodo rapido per una fase preliminare di progettazione, quale il concorso di architettura, in cui sono determinate le scelte urbanistico - architettoniche, le quali potenzialmente avranno un forte impatto su tutte le aree della sostenibilità.

Quantum f-divergences and error correction

description: Quantum f-divergences are a quantum generalization of the classical notion of f-divergences, and are a special case of Petz' quasi-entropies. Many well known distinguishability measures of quantum states are given by, or derived from, f-divergences; special examples include the quantum relative entropy, the Renyi relative entropies, and the Chernoff and Hoeffding measures. Here we show that the quantum f-divergences are monotonic under the dual of Schwarz maps whenever the defining function is operator convex. This extends and unifies all previously known monotonicity results. We also analyze the case where the monotonicity inequality holds with equality, and extend Petz' reversibility theorem for a large class of f-divergences and other distinguishability measures. We apply our findings to the problem of quantum error correction, and show that if a stochastic map preserves the pairwise distinguishability on a set of states, as measured by a suitable f-divergence, then its action can be reversed on that set by another stochastic map that can be constructed from the original one in a canonical way. We also provide an integral representation for operator convex functions on the positive half-line, which is the main ingredient in extending previously known results on the monotonicity inequality and the case of equality. We also consider some special cases where the convexity of f is sufficient for the monotonicity, and obtain the inverse Holder inequality for operators as an application. The presentation is completely self-contained and requires only standard knowledge of matrix analysis.
description: v6: An error in Proposition 2.12 (on the continuity of the quantum f-divergences) has been corrected, and the proofs of Theorem 4.3 and Proposition A.3 have been updated accordingly. No change in the main content of the paper. See also Proposition 3.8 and Appendix D in arXiv:1604.03089v4 for the continuity properties of quantum f-divergences
Metal chelating agents for medicinal radionuclides
Creators: name: Li, Lily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Medical radionuclides can be classified into non-metallic and metallic. Due to the much broader decay spectrum, radiometal ions are generally of greater interest in radiopharmaceutical designs. Since free radionuclides are rapidly taken up by the non-targeting organs/tissues such as bone, liver and kidney, causing unnecessary radiation burden to the body, they need to be stably coordinated by a suitable bifunctional chelator conjugated to a biological targeting vector, which directs the radiation doses specifically to the tumor site. This thesis describes several picolinate-based ligand scaffolds (H4octapa, H4pypa and H4py4pa) with denticity from eight to eleven to accommodate radionuclides as small as scandium-44 and as large as actinium-225. Apart from rapid and stable chelation, versatile bifunctionalization is a crucial but often under-valued property of a ligand. The chemical properties of the linker can significantly alter the biodistribution of the chelate-bioconjugate, while the position of the linker in the ligand can dictate the coordination geometry. The second effect was observed in two newly developed 177Lu-labeled H4octapa peptide conjugates discussed in this thesis. This observation prompted the development of two functionally versatile chelators, H4pypa and H4py4pa, with increased rigidity imposed by the central pyridyl moiety that connects the pendent chelating arms. The central pyridyl moiety also serve as a convenient and robust bioconjugation spot. Studies of H4pypa with scandium-44, lutetium-177, indium-111, yttrium-86, zirconium-89, and H4py4pa with actinium-225 were conducted, while their biological properties were evaluated with either the peptide- or the antibody-conjugates, showing favorable radiolabeling results and stability which even surpassed the current “gold-standard” chelator, DOTA, rendering them highly promising for the applications in nuclear medicine.
Wetting film dynamics and stability

description: Although the wetting films are similar in many aspects to other thin liquid films, there are some differences in their behavior, too. In contrast to soap and emulsion films, whose surfaces are homogeneous, solid substrates of wetting films are heterogeneous as a rule, unless special measures for their homogenization are taken. Here we mean primarily heterogeneous distribution of surface energy leading to existence of hydrophobic domains on hydrophilic surfaces and vice versa. As is known, such hydrophobic domains could play the role of gas-phase nucleation centers and it is widely accepted nowadays that nano-bubbles can be formed there. The present paper reviews the effect of nano-bubbles adhered at solid surface on stability of wetting films. It is shown that the existence of nano-bubbles is crucial for the lifetime of wetting films. Another peculiarity typical for hydrophobic solid surface, the so-called slippage effect, is also investigated and its contribution to the dispersion equation of capillary waves on wetting films is accounted for.
On Recursive Edit Distance Kernels with Application to Time Series Classification

description: This paper proposes some extensions to the work on kernels dedicated to string or time series global alignment based on the aggregation of scores obtained by local alignments. The extensions we propose allow to construct, from classical recursive definition of elastic distances, recursive edit distance (or time-warp) kernels that are positive definite if some sufficient conditions are satisfied. The sufficient conditions we end-up with are original and weaker than those proposed in earlier works, although a recursive regularizing term is required to get the proof of the positive definiteness as a direct consequence of the Haussler's convolution theorem. The classification experiment we conducted on three classical time warp distances (two of which being metrics), using Support Vector Machine classifier, leads to conclude that, when the pairwise distance matrix obtained from the training data is \textit{far} from definiteness, the positive definite recursive elastic kernels outperform in general the distance substituting kernels for the classical elastic distances we have tested.

description: Spatially inhomogeneous shear flow occurs in entangled polymer solutions, both as steady state shear banding and transiently after a large step strain or during start up to a steady uniform shear rate. Steady state shear banding is a hallmark of models with a non-monotonic constitutive relation between total shear stress and applied shear rate, but transient banding is sometimes seen in fluids that do not shear band at steady state. We model this behavior using the diffusive Rolie-Poly model in a Newtonian solvent, whose constitutive behavior can be monotonic or non-monotonic depending on the degree of convected constraint release (CCR). We study monotonic constitutive behaviour. Linear stability analysis of start up to a sufficiently high shear rate shows that spatial fluctuations are unstable at early times. There is a strong correlation between this instability and the negative slope of the (time dependent) constitutive curve. If the time integral of the most unstable eigenvalue is sufficiently large then the system exhibits transient shear bands that later vanish in steady state. We show how perturbations, due to fluctuations or the inhomogeneous stresses, can trigger this instability. This transient behavior is similar to recent observations in entangled polymer solutions
