description: Wheat is one of the most important crops globally with 776.4 million tonnes produced in 2019 alone. However, 10% of all wheat yield is predicted to be lost to Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB) caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (Z. tritici). Throughout Europe farmers spend £0.9 billion annually on preventative fungicide regimes to protect wheat against Z. tritici. A preventative fungicide regime is used as Z. tritici has a 9-16 day asymptomatic latent phase which makes it difficult to detect before symptoms develop, after which point fungicide intervention is ineffective. In the second chapter of my thesis I use hyperspectral sensing and imaging techniques, analysed with machine learning to detect and predict symptomatic Z. tritici infection in winter wheat, in UK based field trials, with high accuracy. This has the potential to improve detection and monitoring of symptomatic Z. tritici infection and could facilitate precision agriculture methods, to use in the subsequent growing season, that optimise fungicide use and increase yield. In the third chapter of my thesis, I develop a multispectral imaging system which can detect and utilise none visible shifts in plant leaf reflectance to distinguish plants based on the nitrogen source applied. Currently, plants are treated with nitrogen sources to increase growth and yield, the most common being calcium ammonium nitrate. However, some nitrogen sources are used in illicit activities. Ammonium nitrate is used in explosive manufacture and ammonium sulphate in the cultivation and extraction of the narcotic cocaine from Erythroxylum spp. In my third chapter I show that hyperspectral sensing, multispectral imaging, and machine learning image analysis can be used to visualise and differentiate plants exposed to different nefarious nitrogen sources. Metabolomic analysis of leaves from plants exposed to different nitrogen sources reveals shifts in colourful metabolites that may contribute to altered reflectance signatures. This suggests that different nitrogen feeding regimes alter plant secondary metabolism leading to changes in plant leaf reflectance detectable via machine learning of multispectral data but not the naked eye. These results could facilitate the development of technologies to monitor illegal activities involving various nitrogen sources and further inform nitrogen application requirements in agriculture. In my fourth chapter I implement and adapt the hyperspectral sensing, multispectral imaging and machine learning image analysis developed in the third chapter to detect asymptomatic (and symptomatic) Z. tritici infection in winter wheat, in UK based field trials, with high accuracy. This has the potential to improve detection and monitoring of all stages of Z. tritici infection and could facilitate precision agriculture methods to be used during the current growing season that optimise fungicide use and increase yield.

La responsabilit� sanitaria nel post Covid-19: scenari e proposte per affrontare il contenzioso

description: Covid-19 has generated negative effects from a legal perspective since January 2020. In fact, the Italian emergency management has proven to be of great importance during this period due to the ill-prepared National Health System. The strong imbalance between necessary and available resources has unfortunately led to consider �tragic choices�. This paper will analyse the possible compensation scenarios related to insurgence of this unprecedented health emergency by examining the various hypotheses of civil liability Covid-related litigation that may be triggered by the pandemic. One of the key categories that will affect the post Covid-19 litigation will be the issue of ascertaining responsibility for the death of doctors. Multiple compensation claims could be further submitted against health facilities, not only by those who have contracted the virus in the context of care or by patients suffering from Covid-19 who have suffered damages, but also by patients for other diseases who suffered of care denial or postponement due to need to allocate the scarce resources within the health system to cope with the pandemic. Of particular importance will be the contagion-related liability promoted towards the social residences for the elderly. The general picture of the litigation that may follow the advent of the Covid pandemic calls for a careful evaluation of the judicial exposure of medical practitioners and health structures to med-mal actions. To be questioned is the need for ad hoc legislation on emergency health responsibility, or whether the provisions of the Gelli-Bianco law of 2017 and the general legislation provided for in the Civil Code can be deemed effective to provide, in the course of this litigation, an adequate consideration of the difficulties experienced by health providers during the complex and dramatic situation caused by the outburst of the pandemic. Furthermore, an additional responsibility could be envisaged against the State as well as individual Regions for their management of the emergency. These charges could include omissions of specific institutional tasks which were aimed at preventing the pandemic and protecting the citizens? health, in order to being able to provide an adequate quality of healthcare amidst the tragic circumstances. A legislative intervention may provide for a specific no-fault compensation plan that could settle the litigation already launched at the end of 2020 against State and Regions. This solution may offer an instrument capable of allowing a more efficient management of public resources, providing a just compensation for the victims of the first wave of the pandemic. In conclusion, the paper considers the experiences of other EU countries such as Spain and France to analyse the issues in comparative perspective.
High temperature sintering: investigation of the dimensional precision and mechanical properties of low alloyed steels

Year: 2021

description: The automobile industry has set the demand regarding Powder Metallurgy (PM) parts for decades, since this near-net shape technology is a cost-effective manufacturing process allying good mechanical properties with dimensional and geometrical precision. Aiming at the future of the electric automobiles high production and demand, many changes are on the way to guarantee the competitiveness of PM against other manufacturing process. The high costs of alloying elements such as Ni and Cu, the changes in health and safety regulations as well as light weighting of components are the topics of major importance in the field of PM and focus of main R&D around the globe. The use of high temperature sintering and different alloying elements are possible solutions to overcome properties obtained by using Ni as an alloying element sintered at conventional temperatures. Materials with Cr, Mo and Si were investigated using high temperature sintering (1180�C and 1250�) in comparison to traditionally high Ni materials sintered at conventional temperature (1120�C). The dimensional stability, geometrical precision, density, and microstructure of ring-shaped specimens were studied by using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and the effect of HTS on the mechanical properties were estimated through the fraction of the load bearing section. The effect of HTS on the dimensional precision and geometrical stability was later investigated in real parts manufactured by industrial partners through an EPMA Club Project. The 4%Ni material sintered at 1120�C was also compared to Ni-less/Ni-free materials sintered at 1250�C using tensile testing, impact testing, and hardness. The use of HTS to improve the mechanical properties without impairing the dimensional and geometrical stability was confirmed in parts with both low and high complexity designs. This project sets the blueprint for future material developments using HTS as manufacturing process.
Dissecting the multi-phenotype effects for cardiometabolic traits in highly dimensional whole genome and omics data through usage of multivariate analytical methods
Creators: name: Anasanti, Mila Desi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Over a decade, single-phenotype genome-wide association studies (SP-GWAS) have been used to identify the association between variants and cardiometabolic traits. Initially, our team performed an SP-GWAS meta-analysis of fasting insulin (FI) and fasting glucose (FG) of European and trans-ethnic ancestries within the Meta-Analysis of Glucose and Insulin-related traits Consortium (MAGIC). However, after calculating the variance explained, I found FG only slightly increased from MAGIC's previous analysis from 1.5% to 4.3%. We proposed multi-phenotype GWAS (MP-GWAS) to boost the statistical power and performed MP-GWAS of fatty acids in NFBC1966 (N=4955) and replication in NFBC1986 (N=2687) to investigate fatty-acid metabolisms. The meta-analysis conducted by our team detected 10 signals associated with FAs (P<5x10-8) at PCSK9, GCKR, LPXN, FADS1, GPR137, ZNF259, LIPC, PDXDC1, PBX4, and APOE. For subsequent analysis, I proposed a new direct conditional analysis method within MP-GWAS, which detected multiple distinct signals within these loci. While MP-GWAS is a powerful method for locus discovery, it could increase missing phenotype data drastically. I further investigated the properties of seven imputation methods within the MP-GWAS framework via an extensive simulation study. I found that random forest (RF) is the best under various scenarios. However, as there was no available RF software designed for high-dimensional data, I developed the fastest to date RF imputation software, imputeSCOPA. I applied imputeSCOPA to the NFBC data and performed an MP-GWAS of 31 metabolites on the imputed data and complete-cases (CC). I found that the analysis using imputed data boosted the power of MP-GWAS’s by identifying two novel signals at rs61803025 within FCGR3B (PCC=5.68 x10-7 vs Pimp=5.49x10-9) and rs181847072 within ADAMTS3 (PCC= 5.67x10-7 vs Pimp= 9.27x10-11). These results demonstrate the increased power from MP-GWAS as compared to the traditional SP-GWAS. This work further highlights the importance of addressing missing data correctly and introduces a fast RF-based software imputeSCOPA.

Scholia Latina in Platonem. La recezione del Menone e del Fedone nel Medioevo latino
Creators: name: Bisanti, Elisa
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: This study offers a reinterpretation of the direct tradition of medieval Platonism on the basis of new evidence from the Meno and the Phaedo translated into Latin by Henry Aristippus between 1154 and 1160. In particular, it provides an edition of interlinear and marginal annotations and glosses of the Meno and the Phaedo: the manuscript tradition is particularly useful for understanding which aspects of these two Platonic dialogues were particularly studied during the Middle Ages, as it preserves the considerations of various readers on Platonic philosophy. In the most fortunate cases, it is precisely the manuscript tradition that offers new perspectives that can be used to redesign the networks of reception of the two Platonic texts examined in this study in the centuries following their translation, with particular reference to the 13th and 14th centuries. The research was carried out on unpublished material and manuscript testimonies, with the help of two strategies. First, the medieval sources were submetted to a doxographic analysis, through a bottom-up approach consisting in the identification of the terms ?Plato?, ?Meno?, ?Phaedo? (or ?Fedrone? according to medieval usage). This allowed to understand in which contexts and in relation to which themes the references to the three terms appeared and to provide a list of authors who, between the 13th and the 14th century, had the opportunity to read the Meno and/or the Phaedo in Henry Aristippus? translation. The second strategy, which we could perhaps describe as ?inside-out?, was applied in the editing phase of the interlinear and marginal annotations and glosses of the two translations. As an especially important paratextual element, the ?marginal? writing proves to be particularly useful for deriving the constituent elements of the two dialogues (inside) that were commented, re-written, re-elaborated and interpreted in the margins of the two texts (outside). By employing both strategies, it is possible to reveal the core concepts of Platonic philosophy that, to a greater or lesser extent, caught the attention of medieval readers of the Latin Meno and the Phaedo.

Density relaxations across the glass-transition under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions

Year: 2021

description: Cooling down a liquid below its melting temperature can lead to an amorphous frozen system commonly known as a glass. Despite glasses are common in everyday life, the nature of the glass transition still remains one of the most intriguing unsolved problems of condensed matter physics. In this Thesis the atomic length-scale rearrangements of glassy systems close to the glass transition temperature are explored under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions with X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS). In particular, we explore the role of directional stresses on the dynamics in a colloidal glass of silica nanoparticles dispersed in a binary solvent. Our results show that the macroscopic stress stored in this glass relaxes via the cooperative ballistic motion of groups of particles with a characteristic size of the order of ten particle diameters. The role of stresses is further investigated in borate-based glasses, where the dynamics well below the glass transition are dictated by the recently discovered X-ray beam-induced dynamics. We show that these dynamics are related to the topology of the network, with peculiar similarities with the stress-phenomenology observed in colloids and metallic glasses.

description: Path sampling approaches have become invaluable tools to explore the mechanisms and dynamics of the so-called rare events that are characterized by transitions between metastable states separated by sizable free energy barriers. Their practical application, in particular to ever more complex molecular systems, is, however, not entirely trivial. Focusing on replica exchange transition interface sampling (RETIS) and forward flux sampling (FFS), we discuss a range of analysis tools that can be used to assess the quality and convergence of such simulations, which is crucial to obtain reliable results. The basic ideas of a step-wise evaluation are exemplified for the study of nucleation in several systems with different complexities, providing a general guide for the critical assessment of RETIS and FFS simulations.

description: The composition of planets is largely determined by the chemical and dynamical evolution of the disk during planetesimal formation and growth. To predict the diversity of exoplanet compositions, previous works modeled planetesimal composition as the equilibrium chemical composition of a proto- planetary disk at a single time. However, planetesimals form over an extended period of time, during which, elements sequentially condense out of the gas as the disk cools and are accreted onto planetesi- mals. To account for the evolution of the disk during planetesimal formation, we couple models of disk chemistry and dynamics with a prescription for planetesimal formation. We then follow the growth of these planetesimals into terrestrial planets with N-body simulations of late stage planet formation to evaluate the effect of sequential condensation on the bulk composition of planets. We find that our model produces results similar to those of earlier models for disks with C/O ratios close to the solar value (0.54). However, in disks with C/O ratios greater than 0.8, carbon rich planetesimals form throughout a much larger radial range of the disk. Furthermore, our model produces carbon rich planetesimals in disks with C/O ratios as low as ~0.65, which is not possible in the static equilibrium chemistry case. These results suggest that (1) there may be a large population of short period carbon rich planets around moderately carbon enhanced stars (0.65 < C/O < 0.8) and (2) carbon rich planets can form throughout the terrestrial planet region around carbon rich stars (C/O > 0.8).
Asymptotic mean stationarity and absolute continuity of point process distributions

description: This paper relates - for point processes $Φ$ on $\mathbb{R}$ - two types of asymptotic mean stationarity (AMS) properties and several absolute continuity results for the common probability measures emerging from point process theory. It is proven that $Φ$ is AMS under the time-shifts if and only if it is AMS under the event-shifts. The consequences for the accompanying two types of ergodic theorem are considered. Furthermore, the AMS properties are equivalent or closely related to several absolute continuity results. Thus, the class of AMS point processes is characterized in several ways. Many results from stationary point process theory are generalized for AMS point processes. To obtain these results, we first use Campbell's equation to rewrite the well-known Palm relationship for general nonstationary point processes into expressions which resemble results from stationary point process theory.

description: We present an atomistic study of heterogeneous nucleation in Ni employing transition path sampling, which reveals a template precursor-mediated mechanism of crystallization. Most notably, we find that the ability of tiny templates to modify the structural features of the liquid and promote the formation of precursor regions with enhanced bond-orientational order is key to determining their nucleation efficiency and the polymorphs that crystallize. Our results reveal an intrinsic link between structural liquid heterogeneity and the nucleating ability of templates, which significantly advances our understanding toward the control of nucleation efficiency and polymorph selection.

Modeling the transmission of viral diseases: understanding hidden processes to inform public health policies
Creators: name: Zardini, Agnese
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: The diffusion of viral diseases may critically depend on hidden processes, like human mobility, people?s behavior, or underlying environmental conditions. The thesis focuses on the investigation of those variables that remain partially unobserved but that could strongly influence the spread of infectious diseases. First, an innovative method is introduced to estimate the overall abundance of mosquitoes over time across all sites of interest in Europe and the Americas, on the basis of only freely available eco-climatic data. The model, calibrated against a large set of entomological data, is used to highlight which mosquito species could contribute to the disease transmission across different regions and identify the areas at higher risk of autochthonous transmission of dengue, chikungunya, and zika fever. A similar approach is also discussed to investigate the potential burden of Usutu virus (USUV) in the northeast of Italy. The conducted analysis estimates the potential USUV prevalence expected among Culex pipiens mosquitoes and human blood donors. The second part of the thesis focuses on the study of the global pandemic of COVID-19. Results obtained with an epidemiological model based on novel age-specific contact data, collected across different geographical contexts of Ethiopia is presented. The analysis aims at assessing how socio-demographic factors and observed mixing patterns can impact the burden of COVID-19 in the scenario of an unmitigated SARS-CoV-2 epidemic and under a school closure mandate. Finally, an epidemiological analysis of individual COVID-19 records collected during the first epidemic wave in the Lombardy region (Italy) is presented. Leveraging an unbiased sample of infections, the performed analysis quantifies all the main parameters related to the natural and healthcare burden caused by the natural history of SARS-CoV-2. Estimates provided are essential for modeling activities aimed at investigating the disease spread or projecting the impact of alternative public measures on the disease and healthcare burden.

description: Collapsing magnetic traps (CMTs) have been suggested as one possible mechanism responsible for the acceleration of high-energy particles during solar flares. An important question regarding the CMT acceleration mechanism is which particle orbits escape and which are trapped during the time evolution of a CMT. While some models predict the escape of the majority of particle orbits, other more sophisticated CMT models show that, in particular, the highest-energy particles remain trapped at all times. The exact prediction is not straightforward because both the loss cone angle and the particle orbit pitch angle evolve in time in a CMT. Our aim is to gain a better understanding of the conditions leading to either particle orbit escape or trapping in CMTs.

description: Vossian Antonomasia (VA) is a well-known stylistic device based on attributing a certain property to a person by relating them to another person who is famous for this property. Although the morphological and semantic characteristics of this phenomenon have long been the subject of linguistic research, little is known about its distribution. In this paper, we describe end-to-end approaches for detecting and extracting VA expressions from large news corpora in order to study VA more broadly. We present two types of approaches: binary sentence classifiers that detect whether or not a sentence contains a VA expression, and sequence tagging of all parts of a VA on the word level, enabling their extraction. All models are based on neural networks and outperform previous approaches, best results are obtained with a fine-tuned BERT model. Furthermore, we study the impact of training data size and class imbalance by adding negative (and possibly noisy) instances to the training data. We also evaluate the models' performance on out-of-corpus and real-world data and analyze the ability of the sequence tagging model to generalize in terms of new entity types and syntactic patterns.
Causality and chance in relativistic quantum field theories

description: Bell appealed to the theory of relativity in formulating his principle of local causality. But he maintained that quantum field theories do not conform to that principle, even when their field equations are relativistically covariant and their observable algebras satisfy a relativistically motivated microcausality condition. A pragmatist view of quantum theory and an interventionist approach to causation prompt the reevaluation of local causality and microcausality. Local causality cannot be understood as a reasonable requirement on relativistic quantum field theories: it is unmotivated even if applicable to them. But microcausality emerges as a sufficient condition for the consistent application of a relativistic quantum field theory.

Verstärken von Bestandsbauwerken: Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Nachhaltigkeit

description: Durch Nutzungsänderungen und Lasterhöhungen weisen viele Tragwerke im Zuge von Nachrechnungen deutliche Tragfähigkeitsdefizite auf. Dies gilt insbesondere für Brückentragwerke, bei welchen sich durch das massiv gestiegene Verkehrsaufkommen, aber auch durch Normenänderungen häufig Bewehrungsdefizite ergeben. Da ein Großteil der Brückeninfrastruktur Deutschlands vor 40 bis 60 Jahren erbaut wurde, wäre eine Erneuerung dieser Bauwerke nicht nur mit einem enormen ökonomischen volkswirtschaftlichen Aufwand verbunden, sondern hätte auch ökologisch weitreichende Folgen wie zum Beispiel hinsichtlich der CO2 Emissionen durch den Umleitungsverkehr. Der folgende Beitrag soll anhand von zwei ausgeführten Beispielen und damit verbundenen Untersuchungen die positiven Umwelt-Aspekte der Tragwerksverstärkung gegenüber Ersatzneubauten zeigen.

description: In this paper, we consider the effect of Landau levels on the decay of superhigh magnetic fields of magnetars. Applying ${}^3P_2$ anisotropic neutron superfluid theory yield a second-order differential equation for a superhigh magnetic field $B$ and its evolutionary timescale $t$. The superhigh magnetic fields may evolve on timescales $\sim (10^{6}-10^{7})$ yrs for common magnetars. According to our model, the activity of a magnetar may originate from instability caused by the high electron Fermi energy.

Meta Navigation Functions: Adaptive Associations for Coordination of Multi-Agent Systems

description: In this paper, we introduce a new class of potential fields, i.e., meta navigation functions (MNFs) to coordinate multi-agent systems. Thanks to the MNF formulation, agents can contribute to each other's coordination via partial and/or total associations, contrary to traditional decentralized navigation functions (DNFs). In particular, agents may stimulate each other via their MNFs. Moreover, MNFs need to be confined which is a weaker condition compared to the Morse condition of DNFs. An MNF is composed of a confined function and an attraction kernel. The critical points of the former can be confined in a safe region around a target critical point. The collision-free trajectory of an agent and its associations to its peers are governed by a confined function before reaching its safe region. Then, the attraction kernel drives the agent to its target in the safe region. MNFs provide faster coordination compared to DNFs. We illustrate how MNFs may exhibit some social behaviors in the course of partial and total associations among agents. Our simulations verify the efficiency of MNFs to coordinate complex swarms of agents.

The legal relevance of the doctrine of non-recognition: The preservation of the international legal order and the settlement of intractable conflicts
Creators: name: Moinet, Jean Paul

description: Non-recognition as lawful of a situation created by a serious breach of a peremptory norm is regarded as a well-established customary duty. Since such a duty fulfils an important function in the preservation of the international legal order, scholars have generally considered its emergence as a welcome development. However, while State practice confirms that there is an established trend towards non-recognition of unlawful situations, it also illustrates that its content is controversial. More specifically, there is a gap between State practice and the prevailing scholarly understanding of this duty, which roughly corresponds to that of the ILC enshrined in Article 41(2) ARSIWA. The cases in which non-recognition has been invoked as a response to certain violations of international law are more complex than is generally assumed and each of them is rather specific. It seems that this norm was consolidated mostly thanks to a political consensus on the underlying primary norms that characterize the contemporary international legal order?ie, the right to self-determination and the prohibition of conquest. In addition, there is one question that has been mostly glossed over by the scholarship, that is whether the international community can subsequently validate by means of recognition such a breach. The problem is that when States face intractable conflicts, the consensus in favor of the norms that should be protected by non-recognition is weakened by the competing consensus that peace processes aimed at settling long-standing conflicts should not be jeopardized. In these cases, there is an erosion of non-recognition in the sense that while States support in principle this duty, their behavior leads to the gradual validation of the unlawful situation.
